Filter by:Background: Physical activity (PA) has beneficial effects on health, physical condition, and the maintenance of autonomy and independence at all ages of life. It also has numerous benefits during pregnancy: maintenance or improvement of physical condition, prevention of excessive weight gain, aid in postpartum weight loss, prevention of gestational hypertension, reduction in number of macrosomic infants at birth, reduction in lower back and pelvic pain, and prevention and improvement of postpartum depressive symptoms. A recent systematic review of the literature concluded that interventions to increase PA levels among pregnant women have a positive effect on this level. The studies included in the review also showed that these interventions have a positive effect on these women's well-being and their mental and physical health. Nonetheless, no study has examined this subject in France. Moreover, to our knowledge, no study in the international literature has looked at online interactive video sessions of PA during pregnancy. Overall, few studies allow an assessment of the effect of sedentary behavior and inadequate PA during pregnancy on maternal, neonatal, or infant outcomes. This is equally true for the health of adults whose mothers were physically active during pregnancy. Moreover, we do not know the actual level of PA of women in France. Finally, we do not know what types of intervention described in the literature would enable the best adherence by French women to their initiation or maintenance of an adequate PA level. Study hypothesis: Our hypothesis is that setting up a free program of physical and sports activity session for pregnant women will enable them to meet the guidelines for PA practice during this period and to reduce their sedentary behavior. Objectives: 1.1. Principal objective To study the feasibility of setting up physical activity (PA) sessions for pregnant women during their prenatal care, by assessing its acceptability, the perceived difficulty of the sessions, and their satisfaction with these sessions. 1.2. Secondary objectives - To evaluate the effect of these sessions: - on the PA level and sedentary behavior of pregnant women, - on their quality of life (QoL). - The feasibility and impact of the sessions will be studied according to their PA level at inclusion: active or inactive. - To identify the facilitators of and obstacles to the acceptability of these sessions, other than those studied in the objectives above. - To measure the willingness to pay of pregnant women so that we can quantify how much they would be willing to pay for such a program, were it were not free. Willingness to pay (measured in €) makes it possible to measure indirectly the acceptability of the program to the participants and the monetary value they attribute to it.
When a patient presents with a fetus in PS after 36+0SA, after acceptance of participation in the study, pelvimetry with evaluation of the height of the fetal presentation by EOS® system in the upright and sitting position will be performed. CT pelvimetry will not be performed. The patient may then be offered an attempt at VME, with clear, fair and appropriate information, after being informed of the data from the right standing EOS® pelvimetry (report and images). VME will be performed according to the recommendations and practice of the department. In the event of failure with a fetus that remains in PS, the choice of delivery route will be decided in consultation with the patient after clear, fair and appropriate information. If the patient wishes to have a vaginal delivery, the pregnancy will be continued without intervention until spontaneous labour or induction in case of indication (premature rupture of membranes (PMR), over term, or intercurrent maternal or fetal pathology). The modalities of the delivery route and/or a possible induction will be discussed between the obstetric team and the patient. If the patient wishes a caesarean delivery in case of persistent PS, the delivery will be scheduled after 39+0SA or earlier if indicated (RPM, intercurrent maternal or fetal pathology). In the case of a successful VME with a fetus that remains in cephalic presentation until labour, management will follow current recommendations. The characteristics of the dimensions and angles of the obstetric pelvis and the height of the fetal presentation in the standing and sitting positions, the performance and success of MEC, the choice of delivery route, and the final delivery route will be recorded.
The purpose of this study is to test a new educational technology-based program and brochure as a supplement to prenatal education from providers. The program provides education about common challenges that pregnant and parenting women receiving medication for Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) often face. Specifically, it addresses the transition from pregnancy to postpartum, possible neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) or neonatal withdrawal syndrome (NOWS), and interactions with child welfare.
This study will develop and test an intervention, called the Well-Mama intervention, which includes the use of a checklist by Community Doula Navigators to support pregnant women. Participants will be randomized to either receive standard perinatal care or standard perinatal care plus the Well-Mama intervention.
The aim of this study is to evaluate anterior segment changes during and after pregnancy, and compare them with non pregnant healty women
This study aims to explore outcomes of waterbirth in comparison to conventional land birth for low-risk healthy women and neonates in a hospital setting in Milwaukee, WI. This study hypothesizes that women who labor and birth in water will use less pain medication, have a shorter labor, will be more likely to initiate breastfeeding prior to discharge, will not experience more negative outcomes, and will experience greater satisfaction than women who labor and birth on land.
This is a randomized controlled trial to determine whether prophylactic manual rotation for fetuses identified to have persistent occiput posterior or occiput transverse presentation (POP/OTP) at the initiation of the second stage of labor in nulliparous individuals reduces rates of operative delivery, second stage of labor duration, and resultant adverse clinical outcomes compared to standard management of the second stage of labor.
This study aims to investigate the benefit of increased intake of cows' milk during pregnancy on iodine status.
This is a feasibility and acceptability study for 4- week virtual mindfulness-based intervention with social support for perinatal individuals at higher risk for substance use. This study builds on the longitudinal collection of questionnaire data from pregnant and postpartum people during the COVID-19 pandemic. Each closed virtual support group will meet weekly for 4 weeks using a video conference platform. Groups will be focused on grounding, thinking patterns, self-compassion and self-care. This approach will foster increase awareness of wellbeing as well as social support between group participants. Primary outcomes include the feasibility and acceptability of this group-based intervention for perinatal individuals.
To implement an effective but low-cost strategy to decrease SCD maternal and perinatal mortality in Ghana. The objectives are to 1) assess the impact of a multidisciplinary SCD-obstetric team for decreasing mortality across three hospital sites in Ghana. 2) assess the implementation fidelity for 2a) preventing and 2b) treating acute chest syndrome in pregnant women with SCD admitted to the hospital. 3) standardize an ultrasound protocol for the prospective monitoring of fetal growth among pregnant women with SCD.
