Depression and Pre-term birth are the most important and serious health problem now a days. For decades, while infectious diseases have had the attention of the global health agenda, non-communicable diseases have received little attention. Preterm delivery, which occurs in approximately 5% to 10% of all births, is the leading cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality. This cross-sectional study was conducted with the aim to determine the depression and spontaneous preterm birth among 275 women of Dhaka Community Medical College and Hospital during January to June 2011. Results show, 44.7% of the respondents are in the age group >20 years. Among others 32% and 23.3% of the respondents respectively are in the age group 20-25 years and <20 years. 70.5% of the respondents belong to Islam religion. At the most 45.5% of the respondents are illiterate and 59.3% of the respondents are housewife and rest of them service holder. Most of the respondents were live in extended family (60.4%). Out of 275 respondents, the number of depressed women was 67.3% where as non depressed women were 32.7%.Women categorized as depressed 56.2% had 1-2 children, vaginal bleeding in 3rd trimester were most commonly seen in 82.7% of them and were more frequently hospitalized during the third trimester. Gestational hypertension and Polyhydramnios were less prone to depressed women. There is a highly significant relationship of depression with parity of women (P=0.00), vaginal bleeding in 3rd trimester of pregnancy. (P=0.00). Also there is a significant relationship of depression with hospitalization of 2nd trimester of pregnancy (P=.038) hospitalization of 3rd trimester of pregnancy (P=0.020) among the women of Dhaka Community Medical College and Hospital.

The purpose of this study was to study the factors associated with the incidence of anemia in third trimester pregnant women. Research design This study was a cross sectional study The results of this study showed no significant relationship between age and anemia in third trimester pregnant women (p = 0.23). The results of this study indicate a significant relationship between pregnant women with the incidence of anemia in third trimester pregnant women (p = 0.041). The results of this study also showed a significant relationship between the distance of pregnancy with the incidence of anemia in third trimester pregnant women (p = 0.04). The results of this study showed no significant relationship between the frequency of ANC with the incidence of anemia in third trimester pregnant women (p = 0.30). The conclusion in this study is related to the number of pregnancies and the distance of pregnancy with the incidence of anemia in third trimester pregnant women. There is no significant relationship between age and frequency of ANC with anemia in trimester III pregnant women.   Keywords: Anemia Factor, Third Trimester Pregnant Women

Background: No specific physical activity guidelines are available for women in multiple pregnancy. Aim of the study was to assess the knowledge and experience of women regarding physical activity during their latest twin pregnancy. Methods: A cross-sectional study including women after a twin delivery was conducted in Poland. A questionnaire was distributed in 2018 via web pages and Facebook groups designed for pregnant women. Results: 652 women filled out the questionnaire completely. Only 25% of women performed any physical exercises during twin gestation. The frequency of preterm delivery was similar in physically active and non-active participants. 35% of the respondents claimed to have gained information on proper activity from obstetricians during antenatal counselling while 11% claimed to be unable to identify the reliable sources of information. 7% of women admitted to feel discriminated by social opinion on exercising during a twin pregnancy. Conclusions: The population of women with a twin gestation is not sufficiently physically active and is often discouraged from performing exercises during gestation. Therefore, it is crucial to inform obstetricians to recommend active lifestyle during a twin gestation and to provide reliable information on physical activity to pregnant women. Further research on this topic is necessary in order for obstetric providers to counsel women on appropriate exercise with a twin pregnancy.

Abstract Background The third Sustainable Development Goal for 2030 development agenda aims to reduce maternal and newborn deaths. Pregnant women’s understanding of danger signs is an important factor in seeking timely care during emergencies. We assessed knowledge of obstetric danger signs using both recall and understanding of appropriate action required during obstetric emergencies. Methods This was a cross-sectional study among pregnant women attending antenatal clinic at Bhutan’s largest hospital in Thimphu. Recall was assessed against seven obstetric danger signs outlined in the Mother and Child Health Handbook (7 points). Understanding of danger signs was tested using 13 multiple choice questions (13 points). Knowledge was scored out of 20 points and reported as ‘good’ (≥80%), ‘satisfactory’ (60–79%) and ‘poor’ (< 60%). Correlation between participant characteristics and knowledge score as well as number of danger signs recalled was tested using Pearson’s correlation coefficient. Association between knowledge score and participant characteristics was tested using t-tests (and Kruskal-Wallis test) for numeric variables. Socio-demographic and clinical characteristics associated with the level of knowledge ('good’ versus ‘satisfactory’ and ‘poor’ combined) were assessed with odds ratios using a log-binomial regression model. All results with p < 0.05 were considered significant. Results Four hundred and twenty-two women responded to the survey (response rate = 96.0%). Mean (±SD) knowledge score was 12 (±2.5). Twenty women (4.7%) had ‘good’ knowledge, 245 (58.1%) had ‘satisfactory’ knowledge and 157 (37.2%) had ‘poor’ knowledge. The median number of danger signs recalled was 2 (IQR 1, 3) while 68 women (20.3%) could not recall any danger signs. Most women were knowledgeable about pre-labour rupture of membranes (96.0%) while very few women were knowledgeable about spotting during pregnancy (19.9%). Both knowledge score and number of danger signs recalled had significant correlation with the period of gestation. Women with previous surgery on the reproductive tract had higher odds of having ‘good’ level of knowledge. Conclusions Most pregnant women had ‘satisfactory’ knowledge score with poor explicit recall of danger signs. However, women recognized obstetric emergencies and identified the appropriate action warranted.
