This study describes the experiences of women in Northern Ireland who have experienced a miscarriage or stillbirth.
Abstract:
This article describes the experiences of women in Northern Ireland who have experienced a miscarriage or stillbirth. Pregnancy loss encompasses several dimensions of loss for women, loss of the future, loss of self-identity, and the loss of anticipated parenthood. The study explored how women emotionally responded to loss and the care they received from medical staff. Burial more...

The aim of this study was to whether histopathological examination of the placenta in cases of neonatal encephalopathy could identify significant antenatal processes that are not recognized by clinical assessment alone
Abstract:
Neonatal encephalopathy (NE) remains an important cause of morbidity and mortality in the term infant, and many cases have an antepartum, rather than an intrapartum, etiology. Chronic processes such as thrombosis result in changes in the placenta. We sought to determine whether histopathological examination of the placenta in cases of NE, focusing on these changes, could identify more...

The aim of this study was to examine health outcomes in women infected with Hep C type 1b during pregnancy with a matched control group
Abstract:
A large cohort of rhesus-negative women in Ireland were inadvertently infected with hepatitis C virus following exposure to contaminated anti-D immunoglobulin in 1977-8. This major iatrogenic episode was discovered in 1994. We studied 36 women who had been infected after their first pregnancy, and compared them to an age- and parity-matched control group of rhesus-positive women. The more...

Preterm delivery and its short-term and long-term sequelae constitute a serious problem in terms of mortality, disability, and cost to society. The incidence of preterm delivery, which has increased in recent years, is associated with various epidemiological and clinical risk factors. Results of randomised controlled trials suggest that attempts to reduce these risk factors by use of more...

However, somewhat less consideration has been given to the psychosocial consequences of mass screening resulting in fetal anomaly detection in low-risk populations, particularly in contexts where termination of pregnancy services are not readily accessible. A grounded theory more...

The aim of this study was to examine the recurrence rate of macrosomia in non-diabetic pregnancy and to see if the history of multiple prior macrosomic infants confers additional risk

Fetal macrosomia (birth weight >/=4,500 g) is known to increase a number of adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes. Although there is a clear association between maternal diabetes mellitus and fetal macrosomia, the majority of macrosomic infants are born to non-diabetic mothers. We wished to determine the recurrence rate of macrosomia in non-diabetic pregnancy and to see if a history more...

Adequate intake of folic acid by women during very early pregnancy can markedly reduce risk of the development of neural-tube defects (NTD). The effectiveness of advice to women to take folic acid supplements is limited, mainly because 50% of pregnancies are unplanned. However, mandatory folic acid food fortification programmes in North America have been very successful in reducing NTD more...
