Abstract:

Increased levels of oestrogen and progesterone during pregnancy may lead to periodontal disease. The anaerobic Gram-negative bacteria called red complex (Porphyromonas gingivalis, Tannerella forsythensis and Treponema denticola) are frequently associated with periodontal disease. Periodontopathogens produce toxins and enzymes which can enter the bloodstream and cross the placenta to harm the foetus. The response of the mother&rsquo<br>s immune system to infection by these periodontopathogens, brings about the release of inflammatory mediators which may trigger preterm labour or result in low b

Abstract:

Approximately 29.1% of South African women of childbearing age tested HIV positive during their first antenatal visit in 2006 (DoH, 2007). This rate of HIV amongst the women of childbearing age reinforces the importance of understanding the management of HIV during pregnancy. During antenatal visits the general health of the woman and her unborn baby is assessed and managed. Management includes antiretroviral therapy to the HIV infected women with a CD4 count below 200 cells/mm3, while women with a CD4 count above 200 cells/mm3 receive a single dose of nevirapine with the onset of labour provi

Abstract:

Over the past several years various authors and Government reports have urged that women be enabled to make informed choices regarding their care during pregnancy and childbirth. The facilitation and making of these choices involves complex processes, however, which apparently have not yet been studied in depth; this is the purpose of this study. A grounded theory approach to data collection and analysis has been used within a interpretive framework, influenced by symbolic interaction, to develop middle range, substantive theory.

The current position of the World Health Organisation (WHO, 2014) is that there is a threat of a global “obesity epidemic” (Boero, 2007, p.1); and existing studies in the UK report that a 5th of pregnant women are overweight. This has created increased scrutiny of fatness and weight, especially in pregnant women. The concern about obesity and pregnancy outcomes also contributes to the National Institute for Health Care Excellence (NICE, 2010), recommending that the antenatal care delivered to overweight pregnant women should be within the guidelines of a high-risk pathway of antenatal care.

Abstract:

Background: The initiation of antenatal care (“booking”) is universally recommended in the first trimester. While working in the Michael Mapongwana antenatal clinic (ANC) in Khayelitsha, the researcher noticed that late booking was prevalent, with consequent impaired antenatal care and increased potential for adverse outcomes. The objective of this qualitative study was to understand why women book late at this specific ANC. Methods: Twenty-three in-depth, open-ended interviews were conducted with 23 late bookers (i.e. who booked after 18 weeks) who attended the ANC between June and October i

Abstract:

Background: Prevention of unplanned pregnancy is a crucial aspect of preventing mother-to-child HIV transmission (PMTCT). However, we have little understanding of how HIV status and antiretroviral therapy (ART) may influence pregnancy planning. There are few data on pregnancy planning in HIV-infected South African women, and no comparative data with HIV-uninfected women. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study of 2105 pregnant women (1512 HIV-infected; 593 HIV-uninfected) ages 18-44 making their first antenatal clinic visit at a primary-level health care facility in Gugulethu, Cape Town.

Findings from this study suggest that pregnant women who were active during pregnancy were more likely to have vaginal deliveries than sedentary women.

The vision for Sweden’s eHealth initiative is to be the best in the world in using eHealth to make it easier for people to achieve a healthy wellbeing and equal welfare by 2025. However, there is a lack of empirical studies in the area, especially studies associated with both eHealth and pregnancy in a Swedish context.
