The goal of this study is to learn whether access to healthy and fresh food, health coaching, and nutrition support intervention can reduce adverse birth outcomes in pregnant women. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does access to healthy and fresh food, health coaching and nutrition support reduce the risk of gestational diabetes or preeclampsia and ultimately improve health outcomes for mothers and their newborns? - Are participants able to successfully utilize the health program? Are participants satisfied and self-equipped to apply the teachings of the program within their lives following their participation in the study? Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. Participants in the standard of care will be asked to: - Complete surveys - Biometric screenings Participants in the intervention group will be asked to: - Complete surveys - Biometric screenings - Participate in weekly personal health coaching - Receive and consume provided weekly meals. Researchers will compare the standard of care to those who receive the intervention to see the impact of the intervention on clinical outcomes including: gestational weight gain, blood pressure, diagnosis of gestational diabetes, diagnosis of gestational hypertension or preeclampsia, and gestational age at birth.
The objective of this clinical trial is to assess the impact of a music therapy intervention on reactive psychological components related to the risk of preterm birth in hospitalized pregnant women. The primary inquiries it seeks to address are: 1. Can a music therapy intervention during high-risk pregnancy mitigate reactive psychological components (perceived emotional state, state anxiety and trait anxiety, depressive symptoms, perceived stress) related to the risk of preterm birth in hospitalized pregnant women? 2. Does music therapy intervention during high-risk pregnancy positively influence the development of the attachment bond between the mother and the child? 3. How does the risk of preterm birth modulate the future attachment bond between mother and child? Participants will be categorized into three groups: a clinical experimental group (pregnant women at risk of preterm birth undergoing music therapy intervention), a clinical control group (pregnant women at risk of preterm birth receiving standard ward care), and a non-clinical control group (pregnant women with a physiologically progressing pregnancy). Upon signing the informed consent, all three groups will be required to complete five self-report questionnaires assessing perceived positive and negative feelings, depressive symptoms, state anxiety and trait anxiety, perceived stress, and the mother-fetus attachment bond. Subsequently, the clinical experimental group will undergo ten online music therapy sessions, while the clinical control group will receive routine ward care. Following the music therapy sessions, both clinical groups will reassess the aforementioned measures. The non-clinical control group will complete the same self-report questionnaires with the same timing as the clinical groups. All three groups will be contacted three months after childbirth to complete a self-report questionnaire evaluating the postnatal attachment bond. Researchers will compare the outcomes of the two clinical groups to address the first two research questions, while the comparison between the clinical control group and the non-clinical control group outcomes will be employed to answer the third research question.
The goal of this single centre cohort intervention study with historical controls, is to investigate the effect of implementing continuous antepartum electrophysiological CTG (eCTG) monitoring at the Obstetric High Care (OHC), on perinatal and maternal outcomes and obstetric care. The main aim is to investigate the effect of both monitoring methods on: - primary outcome: perinatal outcomes (a composite of perinatal mortality or major neonatal morbidity) until hospital discharge - secondary outcomes: Maternal mortality, neonatal morbidity, satisfaction for both patient and caregiver, duration of pregnancy, switch of monitoring method, duration of admission to the OHC, timing (planned or emergency) and number of obstetric interventions (such as caesarean section), and admission and duration of admission to the NICU (neonatal intensive care unit). Eligible women will be prospectively included in the cohort receiving standard treatment: CTG monitoring intermittent up to three times a day. From these eligible women, a random sample (464) of the prospective cohort (511) will be offered to receive a new monitoring method: 24/7 eCTG monitoring. In order to strengthen the comparison between the two groups (eCTG and standard treatment), additional data from 1400 women who received standard treatment in 2014-2019 will be collected retrospectively.
Our aim with this study is to evaluate the sexual functions of pregnant women whose pregnancies are defined as high-risk pregnancies and whose pregnancies are followed by perinatology specialists.
High-risk pregnancies often require long-term hospitalization or outpatient maternal and/or fetal monitoring, placing a burden on patients, hospital resources and society. The demand for intensified pregnancy surveillance and interventions is increasing, due to the increased prevalence of risk factors like obesity and advanced maternal age, as well as altered guidelines resulting in increasing labor induction rates.The main aims of the HOME study (Home monitoring of pregnancies at risk) are to assess if home monitoring of selected high-risk pregnancies for maternal and fetal wellbeing is feasible, safe (in a clinical trial), cost-efficient, and simultaneously empowers the users.
Aim: The aim of this study is to determine the effects of virtual reality and listening to music during the NST procedure on NST parameters, anxiety and satisfaction in high-risk pregnant. Hypotheses H01 In the NST process, there is no difference between the NST parameters of the virtual reality group and the NST parameters of the control group. H02 In the NST procedure, there was no difference between the anxiety score of the virtual reality group and the anxiety score of the control group. H03 There is no difference between the satisfaction score of the group in which virtual reality was applied in the NST procedure and the satisfaction score of the control group. H04 In the NST process, there is no difference between the NST parameters of the group to which the virtual reality is applied and the NST parameters of the musical group. H05 In the NST procedure, there was no difference between the anxiety score of the group in which virtual reality was applied and the anxiety score of the music group. H06 In the NST process, there is no difference between the satisfaction score of the group to which the virtual reality was applied and the satisfaction score of the music group. H07 In NST operation, there is no difference between the NST parameters of the music group and the NST parameters of the control group. H08 In the NST procedure, there was no difference between the anxiety score of the music group and the anxiety score of the control group. H09 There is no difference between the satisfaction score of the music group and the satisfaction score of the control group in the NST procedure.

Sexual Function Changes in High-Risk Pregnancies
The purpose of this investigator-initiated prospective observational cohort study is to establish the new UCLA Perinatal Biospecimen Repository (Perinatal Repository) for collection, storage, and distribution of the human data and biospecimens of the participants with perinatal pathology. The secure and shared high-quality resource of clinical data and biological specimens (Repository Materials), across pregnancy pathology related to research protocols at the Afshar's Lab will be created. Core variables of interest include clinical characteristics and relevant biological samples. Intention to collect perinatal data is aiding the efficiency and effectiveness of de-identified biorepository for pregnancy-at-risk outcome research. The primary aims of the project are: - To design the Case Report Forms (CRFs) for the clinical and biospecimen data. - To create and update the project-specific policies, agreements, and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). - To develop the data management system to assure personal health information de-identification, data integrity, participants welfare, and protocol compliance. - To develop and implement a quality management system for the Repository. - To collect and record in the Repository protocol-related clinical information. - To organize a consistent system to bank high-quality biospecimens while protecting participant-donor safety and privacy. - To establish the policies and procedures for Repository Materials dissemination and research collaboration. - To analyze the scientific results of the Repository creation. The secondary aim of the study is to provide a mechanism to store and share for research purposes the de-identified biospecimen and information about participants at risk for adverse pregnancy outcomes.
