Dietary records were obtained twice in pregnancy and once post-partum, from 265 women in all social classes in London and Edinburgh. Some Edinburgh women, and lactating women, showed the higher levels of calcium intake. For iron, retinol, ascorbic acid and folic acid, there was a consistent and significant regional and social class gradient in intakes. This favoured English women in ‘non-manual’ social groups, leaving the Scottish ‘manual’ class, after pregnancy, with the lowest intakes. Mean intakes of Ca and Fe were consistently below the current UK recommended daily amount (RDA). Intakes of retinol were all above it, and ascorbic acid intakes ranged above and below the RDA.

Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is a major public health issue, including during pregnancy where it poses a serious risk to the woman’s health. Influenza-Like Illness (ILI) also causes significant morbidity for women during pregnancy. It may be possible that ILI in pregnancy is associated with IPV, and that depression and trauma history play a role in the connection. 524 Australia-born women and 578 refugee-background women. Baseline participants were randomly recruited and interviewed from antenatal clinics between January 2015 and March 2016, and they were reinterviewed six months post-partum. Bivariate and path analysis were used to assess links between IPV, depression and ILI. One in 10 women (10%; 111 out of 1102) reported ILI during their pregnancy period and this rate was significantly (p < 0.001) higher for women born in conflict-affected countries (13%; 76 out of 578) as compared to Australian-born women (7%; 35 out of 524). In both groups, Time 1 traumatic events, IPV and depression symptoms were significantly associated with ILI at Time 2. A significant association between IPV at Time 1 and ILI at Time 2 was fully mediated by depression symptoms at Time 1 (Beta = 0.36 p < 0.001). A significant direct path was shown from depression symptoms to ILI (Beta = 0.26, p < 0.001). Regardless of migration history, pregnant women who have experienced IPV and depression are more likely to report influenza-like symptoms in pregnancy. This may suggest that trauma and depression negatively affect immunity, although it could also indicate a connection between depressive symptoms and physical experiences of ILI.

Pregnant women when infected with SARS-CoV-2 infection are more at risk of having severe outcomes including ICU admission, adverse cardiac and thromboembolic events and preterm delivery. Immunization in pregnancy has certain ethical dilemmas and vaccination seems to be challenging. Preliminary data regarding the use of mRNA based vaccines against this virus in pregnant women is promising. Recently, RCOG and WHO have widened the scope of use of vaccines among pregnant women against COVID-19. Similarly, ACOG has also given the go-ahead to the use of two mRNA based and one viral vector based vaccine in pregnant women. The scope of vaccination among pregnant and lactating women being realized in developed part of world is a promising prospect in prevention of COVID-19 infections. However, developing nations require attention from private stakeholders, health and social care organizations to ensure right of health for all.

Background: Endocrine system changes during pregnancy are important to keep the pregnancy, fetal growth and post partum recovery. Around 50-90% of pregnant women experience vomit and nausea. To solve those problems, ‘pisang ambon’ (Musa paradisiacal) consumption is one of choices because of its flavonoid and vitamin B6 which can overcome vomit and nausea in pregnancy. Objective: The aim of this research was to identify the effectiveness between pisang ambon (Musa paradisiacal) consumption and vitamin B6 to reduce hyperemesis gravidarum in BPM Endah Bekti. Methods: A quasy experimental design with two-group posttest only was assigned to 20 pregnant women on their first trimester. First ten sample was given vitamin B6 and the other ten sample were given vitamin B6 plus pisang ambon. Data were then analyzed using two independent mean difference test. Results: The result shows that in vitamin B6 consumption for hyperemesis gravidarum in 10% pregnant women were in the effective category. While in the pisang ambon consumption shows 100% of pregnant women are in the effective category. Conclusion: There is difference in effectiveness between vitamin B6 and pisang ambon consumption to overcome hyperemesis gravidarum (p=0,003<α).   Keywords: Hiperemesis gravidarum, vitamin B6, Pisang ambon

Abstract Changes in the concentration of fetal hemoglobin in maternal blood during pregnancy and after delivery were studied in 91 pregnant women. Significant elevations of fetal hemoglobin were detected in the blood of ten women during the second trimester of pregnancy; these values fell toward normal during the ensuing pregnancy and post partum periods. In no instance could a rise in fetal hemoglobin be detected after delivery. The significance of these observations is discussed; it is suggested that acute hormonal changes early in pregnancy may be responsible for the reactivation of a fetal erythropoietic anlage with the resultant production by the mother of erythrocytes containing fetal hemoglobin. The method used was not sensitive enough, however, to detect minute amounts of fetal blood which may have crossed the placental barrier.

Background: Thyroid disorders are among the common endocrine disorders in pregnant women after diabetes mellitus. Several changes are observed in maternal thyroid function during pregnancy and failure to adapt to these physiological changes results in thyroid dysfunction. It is well established that not only overt, but subclinical thyroid dysfunction also has adverse effect on mother and the fetus, like miscarriages, preterm delivery, preeclampsia, eclampsia, polihydromnios, placental abruption, post-partum haemorrhage, low birth weight, neonatal hypothyroidism. Decreased availability of thyroid hormones may also impair neurological and intellectual development of foetus. With this background, we are conducting a study to know the effect of thyroid disorders on pregnancy and its maternal and the fetal outcome.Methods: The present study was conducted in ESI Hospital Rajaji Nagar, Bangalore. It is a prospective study which involved 100 patients diagnosed to have thyroid disorder during their antenatal checkup in the first trimister. It also includes known cases of thyroid disorder. TSH level was estimated. If it is deranged, then FT3 and FT4 levels estimated. Patients were managed accordingly and followed till delivery. Their obstetric and perinatal outcomes were noted.Results: In our study out of 100 cases, 96 cases are subclinical hypohyroid and 4 cases are subclinical hyperthyroid. Subclinical hypothyroidism in pregnancy are associated with abortions (2.1%), Anaemia (4.20%), PIH (14.7%), GDM (4.2%), Preterm labour (3.1%), oligohydromnios (16.67%), Lscs (22.9%), PPH (6.3%), LBW (21.9%), Hyperbilirubinemia (9.4%), NICU admission (14.6%), Which are co-relatine with other studies and hyperthyroid cases in our study were not sufficient for outcome analysis.Conclusions: Thyroid disorders in pregnancy have adverse effects on maternal and fetal outcome emphasizing the importance of routine antenatal thyroid screening.

Numerous therapeutic strategies are proposed and tested for SARS CO-V2 infection. Remdesivir is researched and proposed by various societies. Studies about efficacy and safety in pregnancy are limited. A case series of 22 pregnant women effected with severe COVID disease and who received remdesivir, over a period of 1 year from May 2020 to May 2021 is presented. The 12 antenatal and 10 post-partum women were included. Demographic factors, baseline, day 3 and day 7 blood values of haemoglobin, total leukocyte count, platelets, liver enzymes, serum creatinine and D-dimers were collected. Adverse events were reported. Pregnancy complications and foetal and neonatal complications were studied. Pre-eclampsia was the most common comorbidity. The 99% of pregnant women and 100% of postpartum women recovered from COVID disease after remdesivir use. Lab investigations did not change considerably during the week of remdesivir use, suggesting its safety. Incidence of adverse events reported is 36.3%, of these 9% are serious adverse events. There are no antenatal or post-natal complications. No incidence of teratogenicity, foetal or neonatal complications. Incidence of feto-maternal transmission was 9%. Remdesivir is effective in treating severe SARS-CoV2 infection and has safety profile in pregnancy with regard to maternal and foetal effects.

Background: Hypertension of pregnancy [office blood pressure (BP) levels≥140/90 mmHg] is fairly common and can affect up to 10% of pregnant women worldwide. Hypertension of pregnancy is an important risk factor for the mother and carries increased morbidity and mortality for the fetus. Women with hypertension of pregnancy have a high-risk for future cardiovascular and renal events. Objectives: To summarize the literature related to several clinical aspects of hypertension in pregnancy and draw clinically meaningful conclusions. Method: We conducted an in-depth review of the literature to retrieve existing data on the definition, epidemiology, classification, and management of hypertension in pregnancy. Results: All pregnant women with hypertension should have a proper diagnostic workup and be treated appropriately. In women with mild hypertension, BP therapeutic target should be set to 110-140/80-85mmHg. In women with severe hypertension, BP should be reduced by at least 25% as soon as possible, and gradually thereafter to normal target levels of <140/105mmHg. In terms of preeclampsia, physicians need to consider potential complications and formulate prevention strategies. The choice of antihypertensive medication is crucial since certain classes can be detrimental to the fetus and should be avoided. Post-partum, the choice of antihypertensive therapy of the mother should take into consideration breastfeeding of the fetus. Given the life-long cardiovascular risk of women with pregnancy hypertension, a regular cardiovascular evaluation is in order. Conclusion: Albeit the antihypertensive treatment exerts significant benefits for both the mother and the baby, several clinical aspects remain un-tackled. More research is needed to further improve the treatment of such disorders.
