Research on human reproduction focuses mainly on women. The present study focused in men during first pregnancy of their couples. The objective was to examine their experiences and sexual activity during this period. Using qualitative methodology, eleven fathers made drawings and written narratives on the subject. The data were coded and classified case-by-case based on their experiences and sexual activity during the first pregnancy. Results revealed planned and unforeseen pregnancies, but all were finally accepted. There were two kinds of emotional male participation: (1) by biomedical expectations (accompanying pregnant women to gynecological and obstetric care centers, supporting treatments, and learning about the topic) and (2) obedience to sociocultural norms and provider and protector roles of the maternal-fetal dyad. Men's sexual activity involved six types: (a) cautious continuation, (b) adjustment and abstinence near the end, (c) absence of sex due to gestational care, (d) experimentation and enjoyment, (e) reluctance to have sex, and (f) frustrated by the lack of it. All participants opted for maternal and fetal health over sexual pleasure. The results suggest that drawings and written narratives can yield specific findings relatively consistent with those obtained through other methods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: the aim of our study was to assess the effect of bariatric surgery on obstetric outcomes. Material and methods: a retrospective cohort study was conducted, including 54 pregnancies post-bariatric surgery and 219 pregnancies in non-operated obese women, from December 2018 to January 2023. Various maternal and obstetric characteristics were evaluated, ranging from baseline data to antepartum, intrapartum, postpartum, and neonatal outcomes. Results: bariatric surgery showed a significant 69 % reduction in the risk of gestational diabetes (GDM) (p = 0.045) and a 63.1 % reduction in cesarean sections p = 0.014), but also a notable increase in the risk of miscarriage (3.5 times more, p = 0.046) and intrauterine growth restriction (35 times more, p = 0.009). Bariatric surgery was associated with a significant prolongation of postpartum hospital stay (7.5 times more, p = 0.001) and a decrease in the average weight of the newborn (213.71 g, p = 0.006). Conclusion: pregnancy after bariatric surgery presents benefits, such as a reduced risk of gestational diabetes (GDM) and cesarean section, but also presents challenges, such as an increased risk of miscarriage and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). These results highlight the importance of specialized obstetric care to optimize maternal-fetal outcomes in pregnant women with a history of bariatric surgery. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Studies on nutritional recommendations for pregnant women who exercise are scarce. The objective of this article is not to focus on the diet of pregnant women as a whole, but to review those aspects of it that may be related to physical exercise. To this end, the nutritional and hydration recommendations contained in the main clinical practice guides on physical exercise during pregnancy are collected, including the first Spanish guides. Likewise, the energy requirements required by pregnant women who perform physical exercise during pregnancy for adequate gestational weight gain are addressed, aspects related to macronutrients in the aforementioned population group, and two specific topics, such as nutritional needs in the adolescent who practices physical exercise during pregnancy and eating disorders in pregnant athletes It is concluded by stating that pregnant women who exercise regularly should eat a varied and balanced diet, such as the Mediterranean diet, avoid long periods of fasting to avoid the appearance of hypoglycemia and maintain adequate fluid intake before, during and after physical exercise. Pregnant adolescents who engage in physical exercise require nutritional supervision to achieve adequate gestational weight gain. The pregnant athlete with an eating disorder has a higher risk of complications during pregnancy and childbirth, gynecological, fetal and neonatal, and, therefore, requires close monitoring by specialists in maternal-fetal medicine.

Introduction: The present study explored maternal mortality during the COVID-19 pandemic, with a specific focus on pregnant women with COVID-19. Material and methods: After registration of the research protocol in PROSPERO (CRD42024506108), a review of studies during the period January 2020 to December 2023 was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, Ovid, Web of Science, Google Scholar, Virtual Health Library, and Scielo databases using an advanced search and using terms such as ['COVID-19' AND ('pregnancy' OR 'pregnant') AND (Peru)]. Studies reporting maternal mortality due to COVID-19 were included. In addition, the results were compared with epidemiological reports proposed by the Peruvian Ministry of Health (MINSA). Results: Six studies with 44 pregnant women who died from COVID-19 were included. The studies covered four regions of Peru (Lima, Cajamarca, Huancayo, and Callao). Significant maternal complications were observed, including pre-eclampsia, eclampsia, prematurity, intrauterine growth restriction, and fetal death. Among the most frequent comorbidities were hypertension, diabetes, and obesity. According to MINSA epidemiological data, a total of 1,486 pregnant women were reported to have died between 2020 and 2023. Of these, 15.1% (n = 224) of deaths were directly attributed to COVID-19. Conclusions: COVID-19 represents a significant risk for pregnant women in Peru, with deaths attributed to the disease and severe maternal complications such as pre-eclampsia and prematurity, highlighting the need for maternal health care during the pandemic. It is essential that health authorities protect pregnant women from COVID-19 through vaccination, education on preventive measures, and specialized monitoring, especially for those with comorbidities.

Objective: To evaluate the relationship between serum ferritin (SF) and maternal hemoglobin (Hb) levels with those of newborns in a public hospital in Lima, Peru. Methods: We included consecutive pregnant women at term without complications and newborns of normal deliveries. We excluded patients with chronic diseases, infectious diseases, hemoglobinopathies and premature newborns or of low weight. FS was measured by chemiluminescence and Hb by impedance in venous sample from pregnant women and from the umbilical cord from the newborns. Maternal anemia was defined as Hb<11g/dl, iron deficiency (ID) if SF was <30 mg/ml. Descriptive statistics were performed using either Pearson o Spearman coefficients, t-test student, and Wilcoxon rank sum tests; a p value<0,05 was considered significant. Results: 74 pregnant women and their newborns were recruited; mean age was 26 years (IQR:22-31); mean gestational age was 39,06±1,0 week. Maternal anemia was found in 36,4% (mild to moderate in 96,3%), Hb ≥9g/dl in 94,6% and ID in 67,6%. None of the newborns had anemia or ID. The overall correlation between FS and Hb of the mother and the newborn was non-significant. With maternal SF <30 ng/ml, the correlation was r=0,339 (p=0,01). No significant difference was found between the anthropometric characteristics of the newborn of anemic versus non-anemic mothers. Conclusions: No significative correlation was found for maternal SF or Hb and respective values for newborns. However, a correlation was found when SF was <30 ng/ml. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Depression and anxiety are psychological problems with high prevalence in the perinatal period. Moreover, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the vulnerability of pregnant women has been even greater, making it even more necessary to study the main associated risk factors. The present study aims to evaluate the impact of the pandemic on mental health in a sample of pregnant women by comparing women who were pregnant before the pandemic and those who experienced pregnancy during the pandemic, as well as evaluate the relationship with the main risk and protective factors, one of them being social support. With this objective, a battery of psychological assessment instruments was administered to women in the general population who were in the third trimester of pregnancy (N=59), with which the following factors were evaluated: sociodemographic variables, stressful situations experienced in the last year and previous history of depression, perinatal depression (EPDS), anxiety (STAI) and social support (MOS). The results partially support the hypotheses proposed, since, although no significant differences were found between the groups evaluated before and after the pandemic, anxiety and depression scores showed negative correlations with social support. These results have clinical implications in that social support, especially from the partner, may be a determinant variable in effective early detection and prevention programs.

The response to vaccines during pregnancy can be variable, however, we have no evidence of a decrease in their effectiveness. Furthermore, the protective effect of vaccines during pregnancy has been documented for more than a century. Pregnant women are vulnerable to influenza virus infections, presenting higher morbidity and mortality rates. Influenza vaccination with a non-adjuvanted inactivated vaccine, preferably quadrivalent, is recommended for all pregnant women in any trimester of pregnancy. Infection by Bordetella Pertussis, especially in children under 3 months of age, is of great risk. Vaccination during pregnancy aims to protect the newborn during the first months of life, through the passive transfer of antibodies and to prevent the woman from acquiring whooping cough and infecting the newborn. Pregnancy is a risk factor for greater severity of SARS-CoV-2 infection, therefore, pregnant women constitute a priority group for vaccination. The vaccine should be offered to pregnant women just as it is to the rest of the population, since the benefits of its administration most likely outweigh the risks of suffering from the infection. It is especially important to offer it to pregnant women with comorbidities. Every pregnant woman should be advised about the importance and benefits of vaccination for herself and her children. Today influenza vaccines, the TDaP vaccine and the COVID-19 vaccine are indicated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Pictograms on medications aim to convey essential information, such as potential risks during pregnancy. However, their comprehension varies significantly based on the culture and health practices of each region. Objective: Evaluate the knowledge, practices, and understanding of pictograms warning about potential hazards associated with medication use during pregnancy in pregnant and non-pregnant women attending a reference Maternal Perinatal Institute in Peru. Method: Observational, crosssectional study with non-random sampling. 409 women were surveyed regarding their knowledge of contraindicated medications during pregnancy, the presence of pictograms, frequency of reviewing package inserts, and interpretation of three U.S. approved pictograms from the Food and Drug Administration and the European Medicines Agency, used in products marketed in Peru. Results: 85% of participants knew about prohibited medications during pregnancy, but only 26.5% were aware of pictograms. Understanding the meaning of the pictograms, indicating "prohibited" or "risky during pregnancy," did not exceed 70%. 40.83% assigned an opposite meaning to the least understood pictogram. Reviewing drug leaflets was associated with higher education (p = 0.02) and having at least one child (p < 0.01). Conclusion: Low knowledge and a lack of understanding of pictograms conveying warnings about medication use during pregnancy highlight the need to improve their clarity on product labels. Further research is required to develop understandable pictograms, especially in culturally diverse settings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is the leading cause of congenital infection worldwide, with a very high incidence rate in pregnant women. For this reason, the aim of the study was to identify the prevalence, risk factors and diagnosis of cytomegalovirus infection in pregnant women. A bibliographic search of scientific articles published in the databases PubMed, SciELO, Springer, Google Scholar, VHL, Dialnet was carried out, connecting the keywords TORCH, cytomegalovirus, virus, pregnant women, neonates, AND, OR and NOT were also used. The results included a total of 51 articles in which it was found that the Asian continent had a rate of 0.22%-100% CMV infection, in the American continent it was 1.6%-96.9%, in Africa 6.9% was found. For diagnosis, enzyme-linked enzyme immunoassays or known by its acronym "ELISA" were highlighted. The most frequent risk factors were low socioeconomic status and living in rural areas. In conclusion, cytomegalovirus infection is higher in developing countries, due to poverty and living conditions, and thecin ELISA should be used as a standard for the diagnosis of this virus.

Primary Goal: This study aims to determine the effect of tomato cookies on the iron levels of pregnant women in certain areas in Indonesia. Methods: This study used a quasi-experimental pretest and posttest control group design. A sample of 102 people with the same number per group was taken using simple random sampling. Tomato biscuits were given five pieces (@20 grams) every day/for seven days. Iron levels were measured during the pretest and posttest. Observation sheets, standard operating procedures, and haemoglobin levels based on laboratory tests were used. In comparison, data Analysis using Paired T-Test and Independent T-Test. Results: The majority of respondents were aged 20-35 years (90.4%), third trimester (58.1%), and multigravida (83.9%). The control group showed no significant difference between pretest and posttest haemoglobin levels (p=0.317). There was an increase in the Hb level of pregnant women after giving tomato Cookies as much as 1.77 g/dL with p=0.011. There was a significant difference in haemoglobin levels between the control and intervention groups (p=0.025). Conclusions: The provision of tomato cookies effectively increases the Hb levels of pregnant women. This intervention can be an alternative for preventing and treating anaemia in pregnant women. Pregnant women can consume tomato cookies together with the consumption of iron tablets. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: ferritin is important in the storage of intracellular iron, in a non-toxic soluble form. Its levels during pregnancy are related to the health of the mother and her offspring. The aim is to describe the serum ferritin levels and the prevalence of ferritin deficiency, as well as the associated sociodemographic factors in pregnant women in Colombia. Methodology: analytical cross-sectional study; secondary analysis of the 2015 Nutritional Situation Survey of Colombia. The following were evaluated in 1.234 pregnant women aged between 12 and 48 years: their sociodemographic and anthropometric characteristics, the distribution of serum levels, and the prevalence of ferritin deficiency. To estimate the association between the different sociodemographic variables and serum levels, or the prevalence of ferritin deficiency, multivariate regressions were used. Results: the prevalence of ferritin deficiency was 44.5 % (95 % CI 40.1 % to 49.0 %), serum ferritin levels ranged from 4 µg/L to 295.7 µg/L, with an average of 29.3 µg/L (95 % CI 26.5 µg/L - 32.2 µg/L). Pregnant women in the second (OR (OR 2.19 95 % CI 1.50 to 3.19) and third trimester (OR 3.84 95 % CI 2.68 to 5.50), those residing in the Atlantic region (OR 2.18 95 % CI 1.25 to 3.82) and in the Orinoquia region (OR 2.41 95 % CI 1.19 to 4.88), showed an association with ferritin deficiency. Conclusion: a high prevalence of ferritin deficiency was found in Colombian pregnant women. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

During pregnancy, a woman experiences many changes, not only physical, but also mental, which is why perinatal mental health is of great importance at this stage. The majority of pregnant women who develop a mental illness during pregnancy, such as depression or anxiety, are not diagnosed, which can cause adverse effects for the mother and baby. In this sense, the screening, diagnosis, management and follow-up of this group is of great importance. Thanks to technological advances, we can count on the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) to find ways to approach women in the perinatal stage for screening and monitoring their mental health. So this review article focuses on seeing its acceptability, perception, barriers to access and new developments focused on improving mental health in perinatal women. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: to characterize pregnant women with severe preeclampsia and their quality of life in a highly complex obstetric institution. Methodology: descriptive observational study. Pregnant women with severe preeclampsia hospitalized between January and October 2020 were included. The EuroQOL-5D-3L questionnaire was used at admission and discharge to measure quality of life. Results: 75 % pregnant were 33 years old or younger, 25 % of them with term pregnancies, predominantly from rural areas and low socioeconomic level. The most frequent severity criteria were moderate-severe headache and blood pressure >160/110 mmHg. Throughout the stay there was a tendency to improve pain-discomfort and anxietydepression, while mobility, personal care and performance of daily activities presented a tendency to deteriorate. Conclusions: severe preeclampsia not only clinically affects the maternal-fetal relationship, but also its psychosocial dimensions. Efforts should be directed towards safe and humanized care with high standards of pain control and early detection of anxietydepression, which aim at a better quality of life for pregnant women with preeclampsia.

Introduction: anemia is the most common hematological disorder globally. Its prevalence in pregnant women affects about 50%. The most common cause is caused by nutritional iron deficiency. Its result is an increase in maternal-fetal morbidity and mortality and its treatment should be taken as a priority. Objective: to identify the prevalence of anemia and iron deficiency in pregnancy worldwide. Methods: a systematic review was carried out and the PRISMA guidelines of the empirical studies found in PubMed, SciELO and Google Scholar were followed. It was aimed at publications made from 2019 to the present and search terms on the topic in the English language were combined: anemia and pregancy and prevalence, iron anemia deficiency and pregnancy and prevalence, prevalence and anemia, iron deficiency and prevalence. A total of 6,231 articles were obtained. Development: the problem of anemia in pregnant women has a large dimension in several countries around the world and is a frequent situation during this state of women, mainly due to iron deficiency. Conclusions: the high prevalence of anemia in this group and iron deficiency was identified as one of the main causes of this nutritional disorder. The country that stood out in this problem was Ecuador. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The guide for prenatal care is the regulatory mark of obstetrics norms for the control and care of pregnant women, with emphasis on those who have the RhD negative blood group. Alloimmunization by anti-D is the most frequent and serious cause of hemolytic disease of the newborn. For an early diagnosis of the pregnant woman with said blood group, it is necessary to determine the red blood cell antibodies involved. This communication highlights the role of the immunohematology laboratory in the follow-up of pregnant woman with RhD negative blood type. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: Infection due to SARS-CoV-2 virus has become a pandemic that has caused great number of complications and is usually fatal for pregnant and newlydelivered women. Objective: To describe the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of pregnant and newly-delivered women with Covid-19 admitted to intensive care units. Methods: An observational descriptive, cross-sectional study of 56 pregnant and newlydelivered women with confirmed diagnosis of Covid-19 was carried out; they were admitted to the Intensive Care Unit of Dr. Joaquín Castillo Duany Teaching Provincial Hospital in Santiago de Cuba during 2021. The analyzed variables were age, past health history, cause of admission, state when discharged from the institution and the main cause of death. For this purpose, the frequencies, percentages and case fatality rate were calculated. Results: There was a prevalence of pregnant women in all the age groups (58.9%) relative to the newly-delivered women (41.1%), mainly in the 31- 35 age group (30.3%). Hypertension was the most frequent comorbidity with 71.4 and 28.6%, for pregnant and newly-delivered women, respectively; as long as, 66.6% of the first ones and 33.3% of the second ones were admitted due to pneumonia. All the pregnant women were discharged alive and 7 newly-delivered women died. Case fatality rate was 12.5 and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome appeared in 57.2% of those affected. Conclusions: Hypertension was the most frequent comorbidity, viral pneumonia was the main admission diagnosis and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome, the first direct cause of death.

The use of antidepressants during pregnancy is a common practice, but there is controversy about its possible consequences for the fetus and newborn. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of antidepressant consumption during pregnancy on fetal and neonatal development. A systematic review of the scientific literature on the subject was carried out. We included observational studies and clinical trials that evaluated the risk of congenital malformations, developmental disorders, and other adverse outcomes in children of women who took antidepressants during pregnancy. The results of the review suggest that the use of antidepressants during pregnancy may be associated with a small increased risk of heart malformations, neural tube defects and preterm birth. However, these risks are generally low and outweigh the benefits of treating maternal depression. In conclusion, this study suggests that antidepressants are safe for use during pregnancy, but it is important for pregnant women to consult with their doctor to discuss the potential risks and benefits of treatment.
