“…Pregnancy is a transformative journey characterized by the joyful anticipation of a new life, which, unfortunately, may be interrupted by various physical and emotional challenges, including health-related concerns [1]. Neurological disorders during pregnancy can have varying consequences, and they are associated with significant maternal morbidity, accounting for approximately 20% of maternal deaths in the United States [2].…”

Migraine is a prevalent neurological disorder that significantly impacts the quality of life for affected individuals. The pathogenesis behind migraines is not yet fully understood, but hormonal changes, especially fluctuations in, estrogen and progesterone levels, have a significant role in the susceptibility of women to migraines. Pregnancy introduces a unique set of challenges for women who experience migraines, as they must navigate the complexities of managing their condition while safeguarding the health of both them and their unborn child. Pharmacological options for treating migraines during pregnancy are limited, and, therefore, there is a growing interest in exploring alternative approaches to migraine symptom relief and management. Physical activity during pregnancy provides a range of benefits, and it has gained attention as a potentially valuable tool for alleviating migraine symptoms in pregnant patients. This review explores the intricate relationship between migraines and pregnancy, emphasizing how physical activity and other alternative approaches may influence the frequency, severity, and overall experience of migraines during pregnancy. Through collaboration with healthcare providers and the adoption of personalized management strategies, women can strike a balance that supports both their own well-being and the healthy development of their unborn child. By examining existing research and emerging insights, we aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of the potential benefits and considerations of incorporating physical activity and other treatment options into migraine management strategies for pregnant women. Further research is needed to elucidate the specific mechanisms linking migraines, pregnancy, and physical activity, enabling the development of more targeted interventions and guidelines.

Introduction Gestational diabetes, as a disorder of carbohydrate metabolism, is considered one of the most common metabolic complications in pregnancy. The diagnosis of diabetes in pregnancy leads to changes in lifestyle, and the treatments employed can affect various aspects of pregnant women’s lives, including their quality of life. The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between self-efficacy and the mediating effect of illness acceptance on the quality of life in pregnant women diagnosed with diabetes during pregnancy. Materials and methods This cross-sectional study was conducted on 240 pregnant women diagnosed with diabetes who were selected by convenience sampling method. Quality of life tools (SF12), the Acceptance of Illness Scale (AIS), and the Sherer self-efficacy scale were used to collect data. Results The mean (SD) of quality of life, self-efficacy, and disease acceptance were 57.36 (6.63), 51.75 (7.44), and 29.07 (7.69), respectively. In the single-variable regression analysis, self-efficacy and disease acceptance variables could predict 20.6% (β = 0.457, P < 0.001) and 14.4% (β = 0.385, P < 0.001) of the variations in quality of life, respectively. In the multiple regression model, by entering the two main variables (self-efficacy and Acceptance of Illness), demographic characteristics, three disease knowledge variables, health status from an individual perspective, and type of treatment, the variables could explain 25% of the changes of the quality of life (R2adj 0.25, P < 0.001=). Income status and self-efficacy had the highest impact among the variables. According to the results of path analysis, the total effect of self-efficacy on the quality of life of pregnant women with diabetes was 0.711. Conclusion The overall quality of life in women with diabetes was moderate, and self-efficacy, illness acceptance, and income status were predictors of overall quality of life. Self-efficacy can influence the quality of life by affecting disease acceptance. The findings highlight the importance of designing educational programs and providing midwifery services to increase self-efficacy and illness acceptance to improve the quality of life of pregnant women with diabetes.
