American Journal Of Obstetrics And Gynecology

A new American study which was published in the Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology has shown that pregnant women who suffer from sleep disorders such as sleep apnea and insomnia are a risk factor for preterm births. They may be at nearly double the risk of delivering their babies before 34 weeks.

Researchers have improved an ultrasound test to predict the risk of ovarian tumours with great precision.

Women benefit from light-intensity resistance exercise during pregnancy but this type of physical activity is not apt to alter the way they deliver their baby.

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), which is marked by bloating, pain, constipation and diarrhoea, often goes unrecognized, in women with chronic pelvic pain.

A recent research suggests that acupuncture may help control pain during childbirth.

First-time mothers who get little sleep during late pregnancy may have a longer labour and a high risk of a cesarean section.

Pills used for emergency contraception after unprotected sexual intercourse is well tolerated by adolescents.

A newborn's birth weight and a mother's weight after pregnancy is influenced not just by how much weight she gains during pregnancy, but also by the source of her excess weight.
