Abstract Background Almost one-third of children under 5 years old in Indonesia suffer from stunting. Stunting can be prevented optimally during pregnancy as the initial phase of the first 1000 days of life. This study aims to determine the effect of nutrition and reproductive health education of pregnant women in Bogor Regency, Indonesia. Methods A quasi-experimental study was conducted among 194 pregnant women from August to November 2019. The pregnant women were randomly selected from four different villages in Bogor Regency. The intervention group (n = 97) received 2 h of nutrition and reproductive health education in small groups (four or five mothers per group) every 2 weeks for 3 consecutive months. This interactive education was given by facilitators using techniques such as lectures, role-playing, simulation, and games. The control group (n = 97) received regular health care services. A structured questionnaire was applied to collect data consisting of maternal characteristics, nutritional and reproductive health knowledge, attitudes, and practices in the intervention and control groups. Data were analysed using t-test and chi-square analysis. Results Pregnant women in the intervention group indicated a significant increase in knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding nutrition and reproductive health after receiving education. The pre-test and post-test mean scores in the intervention group were 55.1 and 83.1 for overall knowledge, 40.2 and 49.0 for attitudes, and 36.2 and 40.2 for practices, respectively. In the control group, there was no significant difference between the pre-test and post-test mean scores for these three variables. There was a significant difference (P < 0.001) in the post-test mean between the intervention group and the control group, but the difference was not significant (P > 0.05) in the pre-test. Conclusion Providing nutrition and reproductive health education through small groups with interactive methods improves the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of pregnant women. This intervention has the potential to be replicated and developed for large-scale implementation by optimising collaboration between government, non-governmental organizations, and maternal and child health service providers.

The Relationship

Objective. As the consequences ofMycoplasma genitaliumin pregnant women are unknown, we examined the relationship between prenatalM. genitaliuminfection and SAB.Methods. The presence ofM. genitaliumwas determined by PCR in urine from 82 women who subsequently experienced a SAB and 134 women who maintained their pregnancies past 22 weeks gestation. The relationships betweenM. genitaliumand subsequent SAB, demographic, current pregnancy, and reproductive health history characteristics were evaluated.Results. Compared to women withoutM. genitalium, women withM. genitaliumwere more likely to report nulliparity (41.7% versus 17.4%,P=.04), history of pelvic inflammatory disease (27.3% versus 8.8%,P=.08), priorC. trachomatisinfection (63.6% versus 36.9%,P=.11,) and problems getting pregnant (18.2% versus 4.4%,P=.10).M. genitaliumwas not associated with SAB (AOR 0.9, 95% CI 0.2–3.8).Conclusions. Pregnant women who test positive forM. genitaliumdo not have an increased risk of SAB but report a history of reproductive morbidities.

Nutritional counseling disseminated by biomedicine during prenatal consultations is of particular importance in the context of reproductive health. These advices are given to the pregnant woman in order to prevent all forms of food imbalances that could harm her as well as the fetus. This is why it is essential for pregnant women to take this into account. But at the Ébrié akouai in Bingerville, pregnant women must also respect traditional food norms. The existence of this traditional diet is not without effects on nutritional counseling. These effects are manifold and result in noncompliance with nutritional recommendations. At the same time, they show the limits of the nutrition education of pregnant. We have tried to discover them through individual conversations, focus group and direct observations.

The Right

Numerous pregnant Venezuelan women have fled Venezuela, given the health system crisis that has increased risk to their lives and their children. Thousands of them have arrived in Colombia in search of reproductive health care. Notwithstanding Colombia’s government efforts to provide some relief measures to the massive influx of Venezuelan migrants, pregnant women are not receiving the prenatal and postnatal care they need. One of the primary barriers to health care access is their immigration status and the health system structure regarding migrants. Therefore, this paper studies Colombia’s international human rights obligations concerning their immigration status and the right to reproductive health to conclude that government measures have been insufficient to meet these obligations.
