Following one year of secondary fertility, a couple conceived with a quadruplet after transfer of three embryos through IVF-ICSI. At 36 weeks and 2 days of gestation, the mother developed gestational induced hypertension and delivered the next day by caesarean section. Pathology confirmed the zygosity to be trichorionic quadramniotic and all four babies were discharged home with their mother on postoperative day 3. Herein, we describe a successfully managed high-risk pregnancy case. A review of the literature was conducted and to our knowledge no other cases with similar criteria ever reached such advanced gestational age.

Objetivos: Avaliar as divergências metodológicas entre os estudos que analisaram a associação entre as síndromes hipertensivas da gestação e a prematuridade. Métodos: Trata-se de em uma revisão integrativa da literatura, realizada entre setembro de 2020 e janeiro de 2021. A busca dos artigos foi realizada nas bases de dados PubMed, Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde, Embase, Web of Science e Scopus com base na combinação dos seguintes descritores: (“Pregnancy Induced Hypertension” OR “High Risk Pregnancy”) AND (“Prematurity” OR “Prematury Birth” OR “Premature Neonate” OR “Neonate Prematurity”).  Resultados e Discussão: Foram encontrados 582 artigos, sendo apenas nove foram selecionados. As principais disparidades metodológicas observadas foram relativas à classificação das síndromes hipertensivas da gestação e da prematuridade, idade das participantes e controle de confundidores. Do total de estudos selecionados, cinco informaram as diferentes diretrizes utilizadas para a classificação das síndromes e seis utilizaram o ponto de corte inferior a 37 semanas para a prematuridade. A maior parte dos artigos encontraram associação entre as diferentes categorias das síndromes hipertensivas e a prematuridade. Conclusão: Mesmo diante das divergências metodológicas observadas entre os estudos, foi verificada associação entre as síndromes hipertensivas da gestação e a prematuridade. Para fins comparativos, é recomendável que novos estudos utilizem as diretrizes internacionais vigentes para definição das síndromes hipertensivas e da prematuridade. Além disso, é importante ressaltar a importância da adequação do pré-natal com intuito de acompanhar e tratar as mulheres com síndromes hipertensivas visando a diminuição das complicações decorrentes desta condição clínica, sobretudo a prematuridade.

ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze the NANDA-I taxonomy “maternal-fetal dyad” concept in high-risk pregnancy. Method: an integrative literature review based on the Conceptual Analysis model proposed by Walker and Avant. It was conducted at PUBMED, CINAHL, SCOPUS, LILACS and SciELO, with the descriptors: Complications of pregnancy, Risk Factors, and Pregnancy, High-Risk (from 2008-2020). Result: the sample consisted of 44 articles, which identified two attributes and 21 antecedents of the concept. Conclusion: concept analysis allowed to identify the attributes and antecedents of the “maternal-fetal dyad” concept in high-risk pregnancy, in addition to raising and clarifying ideas. It was possible to identify 12 antecedents that are not included in NANDA-I as well as the need to review the definition of the diagnosis proposed by the taxonomy.

Background: FHR monitoring plays the most important role in management of labouring patient when incidence of fetal hypoxia and progressive asphyxia increases. Now a day’s cardiotocography (CTG) become a popular method for monitoring of fetal wellbeing and it is assisting the obstetrician in making the decision on the mode of delivery to improve perinatal outcome. The aim of the study was to assess the effect of cardiotocography on perinatal outcome and its correlation with caesarean section rate.Methods: In this prospective observational study 201 gravid women with high risk pregnancy in first stage of labour were taken. Result was assessed in the form of Apgar score at five minute, NICU admission, perinatal mortality and mode of delivery. Statistical analysis is done by using Chi square test and p<0.05 is considered as statistically significant.Results: Perinatal morbidity in the form of NICU admission is higher in nonreactive group as compare to reactive group (75.7% v/s 22.8%). Cesarean section rate for fetal distress were higher in nonreactive group (87.8%) in comparison to reactive group (20.5%). So this study suggest that there is significant difference in mode of delivery with increasing chances of caesarean section in cases belong to non-reactive traces (p<0.001).Conclusions: Admission test is non-invasive and the best screening test to evaluate the fetal health and to predict the perinatal outcome but it also associated with increase caesarean section rate.

Background Pregnancy is a process of maturity for women that requires adaptation to the changes in their new roles. Adjustment to a new role is not easy, especially if the pregnancy is accompanied by risks, so it is necessary to get treatment to minimize complications. Dyad models that optimize husband or family support are very important to prevent the risk of complications and adapt mothers to their new roles. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the dyad model on high-risk pregnancies. The method used with a literature review is through the collection of articles from Scopus, ebsco, ProQuest and PubMed. The results obtained were articles from Scopus 9, Ebsco 107, PubMed 214 and ProQuest 85 which carried out identification, screening and eligibility for 25 articles. Overall results mention. Journals are categorized into 4 groups, Dyad Model and social support, high-risk pregnancy, maternal role and Self Efficacy. Conclusion, there is an effect of the dyad model on care for high-risk pregnancies.

After two textbook pregnancies, I was not expecting my third to be any different. However, despite feeling well and exercising regularly, at 29 weeks, I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes. After taking insulin, I developed pregnancy-induced hypertension and oligohydramnios. Having studied to become a Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator in 2017, I was keen to utilize all my learning and follow the six Healthy Birth Practices to avoid repeating the birth experiences I had had in 2012 and 2014. This is an account of when option B is presented as the best option for the safest end to pregnancy and the ways I tried to gain control of what I could the Lamaze way.
