24.01.2022 What are the barriers to implementing a physiological approach during labour and birth? This new research found that many hospitals follow a risk-based approach, contrary to evidence-based guidelines that recommend a physiological approach. http://ow.ly/cl0J50CDyGs

22.01.2022 Plasticenta: First evidence of microplastics in human placenta "For the first time microplastics were detected by Raman microspectroscopy in human placentas. Microplastics were found in all placental portions: maternal, fetal and amniochorial membranes." http://ow.ly/RWPY50CSoxl

17.01.2022 2018 Australian maternity indicators report has been published. "This is this data examines a group of women whose characteristics suggest they have a lower ris...k of such complications. This gives a better indication of what can be expected in ‘standard’ cases. Selected women are those that meet all of the following criteria: Were aged between 2034 years Gave birth between 3741 completed weeks of gestation Had a singleton baby who presented in the vertex (head down) position" For women birthing their first baby the low lights include: 45% induction only 43.8% birthed vaginally without instruments (30.1% CS) Episiotomy rates for non-instrumental vaginal birth have risen to 22% while 3rd and 4th-degree perineal tear rates remain the same.

17.01.2022 Will more fetal monitoring produce better outcomes? Research obstetrician Kirsten Small considers this important question. What are your feelings on increasing the amount of fetal monitoring?

15.01.2022 This interesting new research considered whether maternal age is associated with embryo splitting after a single embryo transfer. With increased age mums were more likely to experience the embryo splitting until age 36, after this the chances decreased. http://ow.ly/DC1D50Cl1xB

12.01.2022 Why do some Kenyan women stop using contraception even when they are not planning a pregnancy? This research found that there may be family conflicts over the use of modern contraceptives. Men and other social influencers need to be engaged in family planning. Other reasons included a fear of the side effects and cost. All these need to be considered by health professionals supporting young families in Kenya. http://ow.ly/H4JN50DBOql

10.01.2022 Some excellent information here on the Rhombus of Michaelis.

08.01.2022 A study which looked at SARS-CoV-2 infection in babies has found that the risk of severe infection is very low. "Neonatal SARS-CoV-2 infection is uncommon in... babies admitted to hospital. Infection with neonatal admission following birth to a mother with perinatal SARS-CoV-2 infection was unlikely, and possible vertical transmission rare, supporting international guidance to avoid separation of mother and baby." (Gale et al 2020) The study traced all babies less than a month old with Covid-19 who were admitted into hospital in the UK. In total, 66 babies required treatment for Covid-19 infection, which was the equivalent of 1 in 1785 births. No baby died from the virus. Of more concern is that, while the overall chance of a baby needing hospital treatment for Covid-19 is low (0.06%, which is 1 in 1785 births in the UK) and no babies died, a high proportion of those who needed hospital treatment were from Black, Asian, or minority ethnic groups. The research was published in The Lancet Child & Adolescent Health and you can read the full text at https://www.thelancet.com//PIIS2352-4642(20)30342/fulltext #midwife #midwifery #doula #birthdoula #pregnant #birth #childbirth #duein2020 #duein2021 #drsarawickham #childbirtheducation #childbirtheducator #whatsrightforme #covid19 #covid19pregnancy See more
