Full textAbstract:
Dominant Western discourses of motherhood have depicted disabled women as incapable of being mothers. In contrast to these representations, recent literature in disability studies has argued that disabled women can provide maternal care and should therefore retain custody over their children. This literature is commendable, but its emphasis on custodial rights excludes from the category of “mother” those disabled women who cannot maintain child custody. In this article, I challenge this exclusion via an account of my experience with my two mothers: my biological mother, who relinquished custody over me because of her inability to provide care, and my maternal grandmother, who raised me as her child. Theorizing this account, I argue that disability studies must adopt a conception of motherhood that recognizes both alternative kinship structures and mothers whose disabilities preclude them from fulfilling normative conceptions of maternal care. I develop such a conception by synthesizing Judith Butler's theorization of queer kinship with Donald Winnicott's rethinking of the maternal subject. I conclude by drawing on this flexible conception of motherhood to argue that my disabled mother's relinquishing of custody over me to her own mother was the very gesture in which she accepted and adopted a maternal role.

The analysis results of 5 213 delivery histories revealed that number of newborn boys was 10 percents more than number of newborn girls. During first pregnancy, conception of boys is more probable in autumn and during the 4-6 months after mother’s birthday. During repetitive pregnancies, conception of boys is more probable in spring and during 3months before mother’s birthday. Conception of boys prevails in young mothers especially in winter and 1-3 months before mother’s birthday. Conception of girls occurs in older women generally more often but conception of boys is more possible in spring and during first 3 months after mother’s birthday.

AbstractTo study whether apparently more fecund women having delivered twins at first birth have traits of higher twin-proneness, we performed a retrospective cohort study on population-based historical vital records of the 17-18th century French Canadian immigrants and their descendants under natural fertility conditions. Among 24896 mothers who had at least one child, 248 had twin maternities at their first birth (twinning rate = 1.0%). Among 21508 mothers with a valid marriage-first birth interval, twinning rate was 0.97% among prompt conceptions (7.0-11.0 months), with a particularly high rate at the interval of 7.0-8.0 months (2.2%). Marriages in August-October resulted in a higher twinning rate particularly for the slow conceptions than those in the other seasons. Promptly-conceived mothers of twins at the first delivery may seem to have higher fecundity, but subsequent births from these mothers (n = 88) show a lower twinning rate (1.7%) particularly at younger maternal age than from the other mothers who had slowly conceived twins at their first birth (n = 112). The latter show a 4.5% twinning rate as a whole among their second or later births. So-called twin-proneness of a mother, whether genetic or acquired, was not connected to higher conception rate of twin's mothers immediately after marriage. Reduced fecundity, which may have been imposed by some environmental factors, could raise the chance of twinning.

AbstractBased on results from a survey study in a sample of Australian parents of twins, Raj and Morley (2007) reported that questions concerning the mode of conception of twins may be offensive to parents. We looked at the willingness to reply to questions about mode of conception of twin pregnancies in a large survey study that was completed by 20,150 mothers of twins from the Netherlands Twin Registry. Data collection took place in 2005/2006. The amount of missing data was examined and by using data from earlier survey studies, responders and nonresponders were compared with respect to their answers to questions on assisted reproduction techniques. In addition, we assessed the reliability of the question on mode of conception by comparing the survey data with hospital records in a subsample of 80 mothers of twins. We found no indication that mothers of twins were not prepared to reply to questions on mode of conception. Only a small number of mothers did not fill in the question on mode of conception (0.8%). Also, the use of artificial fertility techniques did not differ between mothers who returned and mothers who did not return the 2005/2006 survey. The comparison of the survey data with the hospital records showed that mothers can accurately report on the mode of conception of their twins.

Full textAbstract:
The reproductive seasonality model states that it is adaptive for species in seasonally variable environments to temporally cluster reproductive events around periods of resource availability. Many studies have examined links between seasonal reproduction and phenological events, though few studies have fully tested the adaptive hypothesis by examining the effects of reproductive timing on outcomes. Our study tests the predictions of the model in an African cercopithecine, the Sanje mangabey, by examining the impact of food availability on the timing of conception, birth and weaning, and the relationship of reproductive timing and female energy balance (urinary C-peptide) to infant survival. From September 2008 through 2010, 28 infants were born. Distribution of conceptions was non-uniform, with a peak between January and March. There was a significant positive correlation between mean monthly fruit availability and number of conceptions per month. An increased food supply supports a positive energy balance, maximizing the potential for conception; a pattern found among many cercopithecines. Mothers that conceived within the peak period also exhibited higher levels of urinary C-peptide during preconception and early gestation, compared to conceptions outside the peak period. This strategy increased the probability of survival to year one, as it was significantly higher for infants conceived during the peak conceptive season. These results support the reproductive seasonality model and demonstrate that the timing of conception is critical for mangabey reproductive success.

Full textAbstract:
Objectives. To estimate the economic burden of untreated perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs) among 2017 births in the United States. Methods. We developed a mathematical model based on a cost-of-illness approach to estimate the impacts of exposure to untreated PMADs on mothers and children. Our model estimated the costs incurred by mothers and their babies born in 2017, projected from conception through the first 5 years of the birth cohort’s lives. We determined model inputs from secondary data sources and a literature review. Results. We estimated PMADs to cost $14 billion for the 2017 birth cohort from conception to 5 years postpartum. The average cost per affected mother–child dyad was about $31 800. Mothers incurred 65% of the costs; children incurred 35%. The largest costs were attributable to reduced economic productivity among affected mothers, more preterm births, and increases in other maternal health expenditures. Conclusions. The US economic burden of PMADs is high. Efforts to lower the prevalence of untreated PMADs could lead to substantial economic savings for employers, insurers, the government, and society.

Introduction: The aim of this study to review the socioeconomic determinants of neonatal death compared to living infants in a multinational’s population. Methods: A retrospective data analysis of 58,990 births. Population-based Cohort study retrieved from the perinatal registry for the 4 years period. We compared socio-economic factors in cases of neonatal death [NND] who died in the hospital with infants who have discharged alive from the hospital [AL]. Socioeconomic factors including nationality, religion, marital status, level of education, parents’ occupation, family income, consanguinity, early childbearing, smoking, assisted conception, antenatal care, and place of delivery. Results: There were 336 cases of ND and 58,654 of AL. The prevalence of NND was 5.7/1000 births. There were more neonatal deaths among uneducated mothers with P-value < 0.0003, and OR=2.0, mothers with low income (P=0.0008, CI=1.34-3.16, OR=2.07), families living in a shared houses (P=0.008, CI=1.23-3.19, OR=1.34), consanguinity (P=0.005, CI=1.13-2.0, OR=1.5), unemployed father (P=0.027, CI=1.24-4.28, OR=2.4), father’s education (P=0.017, CI=1.065-1.92, OR=1.4), assisted conception (P= 0.0001, CI=2.99-5.46, OR=4.04) and those mothers with no antenatal care (P=0.0001, CI=2.54-4.48, OR=3.37). Preterm birth in a referral/tertiary hospital was significantly high. There was no negative impact of nationality, mother’s occupation, maternal age, gravidity, or smoking. Comparing means among maternal and neonatal outcome categories showed no negative impact of crowding index (family members/number of rooms), number of rooms, number of family members, number of children in the house, or number of parties. Conclusion: In this study, antenatal care, parent’s education, father’s unemployment, low income of the mother, poor housing, consanguinity, assisted conception, and preterm birth were all associated with in-hospital neonatal death.

Full textAbstract:
Using a thematic analysis, this study examines the presentation of donor conception in 30 books of fiction written for young adults. Most of the donor-conceived characters in these books live in single mother families, the majority are girls, and most have some kind of status as outsiders. Donor conception is presented differently depending on the type of family in which the teen lives. Children living with single mothers are most often endangered. Children living with lesbian-couple parents are most often marked as outsiders. Among children living with heterosexual-couple parents, donor conception is often presented as a significant issue that can unsettle family dynamics and lead to a search for the donor or donor siblings.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Although breastfeeding is associated with proven benefits to both mother and child, there are many factors that influence a mother’s decision to breastfeed. Pregnancy intentionality at the time of conception is associated with postpartum maternal behavior including breastfeeding. Research aim: We sought to understand how maternal and paternal pregnancy intentions were associated with breastfeeding initiation and duration in a nationally representative sample. Methods: We used a cross-sectional, retrospective study of the CDC National Survey of Family Growth data to examine the link between pregnancy intentionality and breastfeeding initiation and duration among women ages 15 to 44 years. Results: We found that whereas the mother’s intention to have a child was a factor in how long she breastfed, the paternal intention to have a child predicted whether the mother breastfed at all. Additionally, Hispanic mothers were most likely to breastfeed and breastfed the longest of any other group. Age and education were also positive predictors of ever breastfeeding. Conclusion: Understanding the father’s and mother’s attitudes toward the pregnancy and influence on breastfeeding intention is important for intervention planning.

Full textAbstract:
Denna studie kan ses som en del av barndomsforskningen, där barn betraktas som kompetenta aktörer vars rösterförtjänar att lyftas fram. Syftet var att undersöka hur barn i olika familjeformer pratar om tillblivelse. Intervjuer har genomförts med sammanlagt 22 barn varav elva kom från familjer med en sammanboende mamma och pappa som har fått barn genom samlag (relationsbarn) och de andra elva kom från familjer med en ensamstående mamma som har fåttbarn på egen hand med hjälp av assisterad befruktning (femmisbarn). Barnens ålder varierade från tre år och tio månader till nio år och nio månader. En semistrukturerad intervjuguide låg till grund för intervjuerna där barnen ombads prata om tillblivelse, den egna tillblivelsen, tidigare kunskap om tillblivelse, känslor och åsikter inför ämnet samt kunskapskällor kring tillblivelse. Barnens berättelser har analyserats utifrån kritisk diskursiv psykologi.Resultatet visar att både femmisbarnen och relationsbarnen pratar om befruktning i olika former. De flesta pratar om en eller flera förutsättningar att bli till på, vilka alla var bundna till familjeform. Majoriteten av relationsbarnen och en del av femmisbarnen pratar utifrån en heteronormativ tvåsamhet. Många femmisbarn pratar även utifrån sitt eget tillblivelsesätt, assisterad befruktning, och talar dels utifrån att detta sätt är ett fullgott förstahandsalternativ och dels utifrån att det är ett andrahandsalternativ till att få barn genom den heteronormativa tvåsamheten. Flera av både femmisbarnen och relationsbarnen pratade kring att få barn på ett sätt som att det är en självklarhet för vuxna.De flesta av barnen pratade om förlossning och nämnde då vården som något centralt, vilken beskrivs antingen som en fixare eller en hjälpare. För femmisbarnen var vården självklar både vid befruktningen och vid förlossningen, medan vården är självklar för relationsbarnen vid förlossningen. De barn som pratar om pappors roll vid förlossningen gör det utifrån att pappor antingen är sekundära och passiva eller att de är hjälpare. Resultatet visar även att det inte finns någon skillnad kring var barnen från de olika familjeformerna har fått sin kunskap om tillblivelse ifrån samt var de skulle ta reda på mer kunskap. Barnen nämner sina mammor, men även skola, kompisar och olika former av media är kunskapskällor för barnen. Många barn pratar utifrån att kunskapen tillhör vuxenvärlden och att barn inte behöver ha kunskap om tillblivelse. Det är ungefär lika förekommande att barnen oavsett familjeformger uttryck för att tillblivelse och tillhörande ämnen på olika sätt är svårt att prata om, som att det är lätt att prata.Utifrån dessa resultat dras slutsatsen att eftersom den heteronormativa tvåsamheten framställs som det självklara, får det till följd att andra tillblivelsesätt betraktas som mindre eftersträvansvärda. I kontakt med barn blir det därför viktigt att förhålla sig till detta och sträva mot att inkludera fler likvärdiga tillblivelsesätt i sitt prat. Mammor beskrivs av barnen från de båda familjeformerna som de primära kunskapsbärarna, medan pappor nästintill helt saknas. Detta tyder på att femmisbarn, i de undersökta åldrarna, har samma tillgång till kunskap om tillblivelse som relationsbarn har. Slutligen konstateras att sexualitet till viss del fortfarande är tabubelagt i samhället, då flera av barnen på olika sätt uttrycker att det finns aspekter av tillblivelse som var svåra att prata om. Denna syn, som också återfinns i samhället, håller troligtvis på att förändras då ungefär lika många barn gav uttryck för att tillblivelse var lätt att prata om.

The studies on conceptions of parents and educators as to the childlike development characterize an important area of inquiry in Psychology of the Development. The conceptions of parents and educators are developed through their personal, social and cultural experiences which affect the adult-child interaction. Based on this premise, we tried to analyze the concepts that parents and educators have about childhood development, believing that these concepts, and/ or set of ideas that are shared among members of a community, are intended to organize the perception of parents and educators about how they understand the child; and these concepts in turn have motivational properties, which serve as targets, as interpretation of reality and understanding of childhood development, and also, the different forms how parents and educators will take care of the children. From a Vygotskiana proposal, the figure of the mediator has an important role in promoting childhood development, since it is through his way of thinking, conceiving and believing that the practices will be laid down; and consequently how to act with the children, directly influencing their development. The development does not occur linearly by itself but through evolutionary changes; and it can vary in terms of developments or setbacks, according to the environment where it occurs. This study aimed to analyze the views of mothers and educators of children who were four to twenty four months of age on childhood development. With specific objectives, conceptions of mothers and educators were established about childhood development; and also, if they are confluent and / or divergent. This is a descriptive-analytical study with a qualitative approach on the field research of three nurseries from a private network in João Pessoa City on Paraíba State, Brazil. As an instrument of investigation, a semi-structured interview was used with a social-demographic questionnaire; it was prepared by means of the objectives of the study besides other already fulfilled inquiries. Participating of the study were twenty mothers and twenty educators. The criterion for selection of participants was to be mothers of children from four to twenty four months of age, and for educators that specifically take care of those children. The choice of this age group was due to the importance of the early years of life for childhood development. All interviews were taped, transcribed and analyzed from the standpoint of the thematic-categorical content proposed by Bardin, with categories that were defined later. The results revealed that mothers and teachers had similar notions of childhood development in some respects, but we could perceive that the testimonies of the educators had more elements in relation to the meanings attributed to childhood development. This research has good applicability to support programs in educational policies and suggests that there must be studies comparing public and private nurseries.
Os estudos sobre concepções de pais e educadores a respeito do desenvolvimento infantil caracterizam uma importante área de pesquisa em Psicologia do Desenvolvimento. As concepções dos pais e educadores são desenvolvidas através de suas experiências pessoais, sociais e culturais, influenciando a interação adulto-criança. Com base nessa premissa, procurou-se analisar as concepções que os pais e os educadores têm a respeito do desenvolvimento infantil, acreditando que estas concepções, e/ou conjunto de idéias, que são compartilhadas entre os membros de uma comunidade, têm o objetivo de organizar a percepção dos pais e educadores a respeito da forma como os mesmos compreendem a criança. As concepções por sua vez possuem propriedades motivacionais, as quais funcionam como metas, interpretação da realidade, e compreensão do desenvolvimento infantil, e ainda, formas de como os pais e educadores cuidarão de seus filhos. A partir de uma proposta vigotskiana, a figura do mediador tem um papel relevante na promoção do desenvolvimento infantil, haja vista que é através do seu modo de pensar, conceber, acreditar, que se estabelecerão as práticas e consequentemente a forma de agir com as crianças, influenciando diretamente no seu desenvolvimento. Por si, o desenvolvimento não acontece de forma linear, mas sim por meio de alterações evolutiva, podendo variar em termos de avanços ou retrocessos, conforme o ambiente onde ocorre. O presente estudo teve como objetivo geral analisar as concepções das mães e das educadoras de crianças de 04 - 24 meses de idade sobre o desenvolvimento infantil. Como objetivos específicos foram verificadas as concepções das mães e das educadoras sobre desenvolvimento infantil e também se as mesmas são confluentes e ou divergentes. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo-analítico, numa abordagem qualitativa, tendo como campo de investigação três berçários da rede privada da cidade de João Pessoa, na Paraíba. Como instrumento foi utilizado uma entrevista semi-estruturada, com questionário sócio-demográfico, elaborada mediante os objetivos do estudo além de outras pesquisas já realizadas. Participaram do estudo 20 mães e 20 educadoras. O critério para escolha das participantes foi o de serem mães de crianças na faixa etária de quatro a vinte quatro meses, e para as educadoras, de que cuidassem especificamente dessas mesmas crianças. A escolha das crianças nessa faixa etária aconteceu devido à importância que tem os primeiros anos de vida para o desenvolvimento infantil. Todas as entrevistas foram gravadas, transcritas e analisadas a partir da análise de conteúdo categorial temática proposta por Bardin, com categorias que foram definidas a posteriori. Os resultados encontrados revelaram que mães e educadoras apresentaram concepções semelhantes do desenvolvimento infantil em alguns aspectos, porém foi possível perceber que as falas das educadoras apresentaram mais elementos no que se refere aos significados atribuídos ao desenvolvimento infantil. Esta pesquisa tem boa aplicabilidade para subsidiar ações em políticas educativas e sugere que haja estudos comparativos entre berçários particulares e públicos.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis weaves together disparate sources of theoretical knowledge with the lived experience of 11 women to illuminate the mysterious world of pre-natal relating - the foundation for postnatal life and the beginnings of the capacity to love. Love and supportive relationships can ameliorate stress and trauma post-birth, but do they operate prenatally, and if so how? This research clearly shows that mothers relate to their preborns and from the rich detail of their stories, the author proposes a schema that captures the complexity and changing nature of prenatal relating. The basic physiological and neurological structures are formed from conception, making the preborn vulnerable to the effects of direct and maternal experience. Preborns have extensive capacities that include the potential for interaction. These capacities and experiences affect infant development post birth. This evidence supports the author's initial hypothesis that prenatal stress is a significant factor in the attentional and behavioural problems of childhood, and challenges purely genetic explanations. 'Normal' life events have greater potency during pregnancy, making the transition to parenthood stressful even for many women in low risk situations. Feeling supported is essential for the health and well-being of the mother and preborn. This thesis reports a phenomenological and prospective study of 11 pregnant women as they lived the prenatal journey. From the interviews, it describes the development of the prenatal relationship and the range of stressful and supportive factors that should be considered in the creation of child and family friendly communities.Master of Science (Hons)

Syftet med studien är att undersöka vilka ämneskonceptioner som dominerar modersmålsundervisningen i grundskolans tidigare år i Peru, samt jämföra dessa med svenska förhållanden och forskning. Vidare syftar studien till att analysera varför dessa ämneskonceptioner dominerar, samt vilka slutsatser som kan dras med hänsyn till dessa ämneskonceptioners resultat. Metoden är kvalitativa intervjuer med tre lärare på en kommunal skola i Cajamarca, Peru, samt klassrumsobservationer vid tre tillfällen hos vardera lärare. Två intervjuer genomfördes med vardera lärare, en före observationerna och en efter att observationerna var avslutade. Undersökningens resultat visar att undervisningen på skolan huvudsakligen domineras av formaliserad undervisning med fokus på färdigheter och har även likheter med den bild av svenskundervisningen som presenteras i forskning på området. Resultatet är dock inte entydigt. Lärarna i studien visar, i olika stor utsträckning, tendenser och ambitioner att utveckla en mer varierad modersmålsundervisning, men har svårigheter att iscensätta en sådan i praktiken. Studien visar att det är av vikt att lärare får möjlighet att diskutera och reflektera över form och innehåll, samt över sin egen undervisning, för att på så sätt utmanas och i förlängningen förbättra sin undervisning. Undervisning karakteriserad av fokus på färdigheter riskerar att ge elever en begränsad syn på vad läsning och skrivning innebär.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThe importance of father’s health and health behaviors during the perinatal period is an under-appreciated, but critical, topic for enhancing reproductive and infant health and development, and ultimately men’s own lifetime health. This chapter brings together the existing scattered reproductive fatherhood health literature and articulates a new conceptual framework that identifies eight direct and indirect pathways of potential paternal impact. Three pathways reflect pre-conception to conception influences; paternal planned and wanted pregnancies (family planning); paternal biologic and genetic contributions; and paternal epigenetic contributions. Three pathways reflect father-mother perinatal interactions: paternal reproductive health practices that may alter their partner’s health behaviors and self-care practices; paternal reproductive biologic and social health that may alter their partner’s reproductive health biology; and paternal support for maternal delivery and post-partum care. And two pathways reflect systemic influences: paternal mental health influences; and paternal contributions to the family’s social determinants of health. This chapter pushes back the time frame for the father’s developmental importance for his child into the antenatal period, if not earlier; it encourages more gender equitable parental roles and opportunities; and it provides a stronger scientific knowledge base to support new fatherhood programs, policies and research that encourages father’s more active, healthier and earlier reproductive health involvement.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter discusses the idealization of Jewish motherhood in contemporary award-winning Jewish children's books. It reviews books that portray mothers and mothering stereotypically associated with private, domestic Jewish practice and childrearing. It also explores Jewish children's books that feature fathers as central figures in public Jewish ritual observances and civic leadership, and as responsible for children's formal education. The chapter shows the pious, domestic mother and the oriented father, which reinforce a gendered conception of what it means to be a mother and encode gendered stereotypes within the formative experiences of Jewish early childhood education. It cites children's books that promote an uncomplicated idealization for children of what it means to live within a Jewish culture and show varieties of contemporary family structure that include interfaith, same sex, and single parents.

This chapter considers that, in sense, a woman's relationship with her baby begins not only before birth but before conception; it has roots in her own babyhood, in the way she herself was ‘mothered’. Also important are the messages sent and received throughout childhood and adolescence that, decoded, read: women need babies, and babies need mothers. The chapter shows how myth, fantasy, and the economics of reproduction under capitalism are all jumbled up in this relationship, and which impacts it greatly. Most women by the time they achieve motherhood have, from these various sources, some idea about how mothers do (or should) feel about their babies.

Opt-out antenatal screening for HIV has >97% uptake in the UK. This ensures early identification of women with HIV, in order to initiate antiretroviral therapy and other interventions in order to reduce mother-to-child transmission. Rates of mother-to-child transmission of HIV in developed countries have consequently fallen to <1%. This chapter describes pre-conception advice, starting and monitoring treatment during pregnancy, obstetric considerations for women with HIV, and neonatal post-exposure prophylaxis, monitoring, and feeding advice. There is now good safety data for many antiretrovirals during pregnancy. Until recently, mothers with HIV who insisted on breast feeding would have been referred to social services, although increasing evidence shows that women with undetectable viral load and good adherence to antiretrovirals have a low risk of HIV transmission.

Many women with multiple sclerosis are diagnosed in their childbearing years. It is important to understand the impact of MS on pregnancy and the impact of pregnancy on MS. Children born to mothers with MS have an increased risk for getting MS themselves. Babies born to mothers with MS are equally healthy compared to control groups. The risk for MS relapse decreases during pregnancy, but there is an increased risk for relapse in the three-month postpartum period. Most MS medications need to be discontinued prior to conception. Breastfeeding may have a protective effect on the risk for postpartum relapse.

Full textAbstract:
Spatially, the term “house of the mother” (bêt ’ēm) is found in a parallelistic line with the phrase “the chamber of her who conceived me” (Song 3:4) and is described as a place one can run to, return to, and take one’s lover into. Biblical narratives associate the “house of the mother” and tents and chambers of mothers with sleeping, sex, conception, and childbirth. If a mother and her children received recognition and legitimacy from the male head of household, their bêt ’ēm formed a spatial subunit nested within the house of the father. If a mother and her children were not recognized and legitimized by the father or were cast out by a primary wife, their maternal house became a satellite house in relationship to the house of the father; they were physically separated from the house of the father. Sons born into these low-status, satellite houses of the mother had no ascribed status in the house of their father and had to fight for any property and inheritance rights.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter addresses the intense surveillance placed upon American women during pregnancy. Given the dynamic connections between medical, media, and political attitudes toward pregnancy and a view that pregnant women are obligated to promote fetal life at all costs, it is little surprise that civil and criminal consequences abound for these women. Frequently, pregnant mothers’ personal or religious objections and rights are overruled, leading judges to order caesarean sections and other medical treatment, including keeping pregnant women on life support to keep their fetuses alive. Criminal prosecutions against pregnant women are increasing.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACT Background: Childbirth is a physiological process which is the process of releasing the product of conception from the uterus. Normal delivery occurs at 37 – 42 weeks of gestation, where the fetus is mature. Labor cannot be separated from labor pain. Several studies have shown that in primitive societies, labor is longer and painful, whereas in advanced societies 7-14% give birth with minimal pain and most (90%) are accompanied by pain and unavoidable pain. The birth ball is a physical therapy ball that helps the delivery of the first stage to help labor progress. A physical therapy ball that helps labor progress and can be used to share positions. One of the movements is to sit on the ball and shake it to comfort and help labor progress. This study aimed to examine the birthing ball therapy on the long-term maternal and labor pain among primigravida mother in private practice midwives, Madiun, East Java. Subjects and Method: This was a cross sectional study conducted in Madiun, East Java. The total of 40 pregnant women were divided into 20 mothers with birthing ball therapy and 20 mothers without birthing ball therapy. The dependent variables were length of the first period of labor and intensity of labor pain. The independent variables were birthing ball therapy. Data were collected using an observation sheet. The data were analyzed using a multiple logistic regression. Results: The use of birth ball was positively associated with the length of the first period of labor (OR = 5.19; 95% CI= 1.06 to 25.4; p = 0.042) and intensity of labor pain (OR = 7.57; 95% CI= 1.53 to 37.3; p = 0.013) and they were statistically significant. Conclusion: The use of birth balls is proven to be effective in shortening stage 1 and reducing pain intensity.

ABSTRACT Background: The current fertility rate for Indonesia in 2020 is 2.28 births per woman. High fertility, particularly when it involves conception either too early or too late in the fertility cycle or when short birth intervals are involved, is known to pose higher risks for both mothers and infants. This study aimed to investigate fertility determinants in Indonesia. Subjects and Method: A cross-sectional study was carried out using Indonesian basic health survey year 2017. A sample of 34,199 women of reproductive age aged 15-49 years was selected for this study. The dependent variable was live birth children. The independent variables were education, knowledge toward contraception, employment status, literacy, family discussion, health insurance membership, child birth last year, contraceptive method, residence, province, and source of information. The data were analyzed by a multiple logistic regression. Results: The likelihood of women to have children >2 increased with low education (OR= 2.67; 95% CI= 2.53 to 2.81; p<0.001), low literacy (OR= 1.59; 95% CI= 1.44 to 1.75; p<0.001), and no family discussion (OR= 1.2; 95% CI= 1.13 to 1.24; p<0.001). The likelihood of women to have children >2 decreased with no health insurance membership (OR= 0.73; 95% CI= 0.69 to 0.76; p<0.001), use contraception (OR= 0.33; 95% CI= 0.31 to 0.34; p<0.001), child birth delivery last year (OR= 0.77; 95% CI= 0.71 to 0.83; p<0.001), lived in province in West Indonesia (OR= 0.69; 95% CI= 0.66 to 0.72; p<0.001), received information from private agency (OR= 0.83; 95% CI= 0.78 to 0.89; p<0.001), and worked (OR= 0.72; 95% CI= 0.69 to 0.75; p<0.001). Conclusion: The likelihood of women to have children >2 increases with low education, low literacy, and no family discussion. The likelihood of women to have children >2 decreases with no health insurance membership, use contraception, child birth delivery last year, lived in province in West Indonesia, received information from private agency, and worked.

Full textAbstract:
We have identified 15 mutations of the factor VIII (F8) gene from a panel of 107 patients with hemophilia A and have characterized these gene defects byrestriction analysis, oligonucleotide hybridization, cloning and DNA sequencing. Recurrent point mutations that involve CG to TG transitions were identified in exon 18, exon 22, and exon 24; a single CG to TG transition was identified in exon 23; and a CG to CA transition was identified in exon 24. In addition, a Taq I site alteration in intron 4 was identified in a patient with mild hemophilia, which arose dg. S23&in a grandpaternal germ cell. Cloning and sequencing of this region suggests the generation of a newsplice donor site. These data suggest that CG to TG transition is a prominent mechanism of mutation in hemophilia A. Six different deletions were also characterized. In one family, the deletion involved exon 26. However, the deletion endpoints in the male proband were different from those in his carrier mother, suggesting either gonadal mosaicism or a second deletion event in maternal meiosis.Of the 15 mutations, 6 occurred de novo within 2 generations: 4 in males and 2 in females. In these djg.novo mutations paternal age at conception was 35 (range = 32-38) and maternal age was 24 and 27. The ability to discover a sizable number of mutations in the F8 gene producing hemophilia A enables us to determine the frequency and nature of de novo mutations in man.

Full textAbstract:
Background. Untreated maternal mental health disorders can have devastating sequelae for the mother and child. For women who are currently or planning to become pregnant or are breastfeeding, a critical question is whether the benefits of treating psychiatric illness with pharmacologic interventions outweigh the harms for mother and child. Methods. We conducted a systematic review to assess the benefits and harms of pharmacologic interventions compared with placebo, no treatment, or other pharmacologic interventions for pregnant and postpartum women with mental health disorders. We searched four databases and other sources for evidence available from inception through June 5, 2020 and surveilled the literature through March 2, 2021; dually screened the results; and analyzed eligible studies. We included studies of pregnant, postpartum, or reproductive-age women with a new or preexisting diagnosis of a mental health disorder treated with pharmacotherapy; we excluded psychotherapy. Eligible comparators included women with the disorder but no pharmacotherapy or women who discontinued the pharmacotherapy before pregnancy. Results. A total of 164 studies (168 articles) met eligibility criteria. Brexanolone for depression onset in the third trimester or in the postpartum period probably improves depressive symptoms at 30 days (least square mean difference in the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression, -2.6; p=0.02; N=209) when compared with placebo. Sertraline for postpartum depression may improve response (calculated relative risk [RR], 2.24; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.95 to 5.24; N=36), remission (calculated RR, 2.51; 95% CI, 0.94 to 6.70; N=36), and depressive symptoms (p-values ranging from 0.01 to 0.05) when compared with placebo. Discontinuing use of mood stabilizers during pregnancy may increase recurrence (adjusted hazard ratio [AHR], 2.2; 95% CI, 1.2 to 4.2; N=89) and reduce time to recurrence of mood disorders (2 vs. 28 weeks, AHR, 12.1; 95% CI, 1.6 to 91; N=26) for bipolar disorder when compared with continued use. Brexanolone for depression onset in the third trimester or in the postpartum period may increase the risk of sedation or somnolence, leading to dose interruption or reduction when compared with placebo (5% vs. 0%). More than 95 percent of studies reporting on harms were observational in design and unable to fully account for confounding. These studies suggested some associations between benzodiazepine exposure before conception and ectopic pregnancy; between specific antidepressants during pregnancy and adverse maternal outcomes such as postpartum hemorrhage, preeclampsia, and spontaneous abortion, and child outcomes such as respiratory issues, low Apgar scores, persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn, depression in children, and autism spectrum disorder; between quetiapine or olanzapine and gestational diabetes; and between benzodiazepine and neonatal intensive care admissions. Causality cannot be inferred from these studies. We found insufficient evidence on benefits and harms from comparative effectiveness studies, with one exception: one study suggested a higher risk of overall congenital anomalies (adjusted RR [ARR], 1.85; 95% CI, 1.23 to 2.78; N=2,608) and cardiac anomalies (ARR, 2.25; 95% CI, 1.17 to 4.34; N=2,608) for lithium compared with lamotrigine during first- trimester exposure. Conclusions. Few studies have been conducted in pregnant and postpartum women on the benefits of pharmacotherapy; many studies report on harms but are of low quality. The limited evidence available is consistent with some benefit, and some studies suggested increased adverse events. However, because these studies could not rule out underlying disease severity as the cause of the association, the causal link between the exposure and adverse events is unclear. Patients and clinicians need to make an informed, collaborative decision on treatment choices.
