33 y /o G7P6 mom presents at 39 weeks gestation undergoes induction of labor for new onset HTN. She has a history of severe lower uterine fibroids, BP 160/90, pregnancy wt 253, she gained 30 lbs during pregnancy. Fundal height is 43 cm. 22 hours after labor induction, the fetal head delivers and retracts into the maternal perineum. Gentle traction fails to deliver the anterior fetal shoulder. What is the greatest risk factor for this pathology?
