“…This finding is consistent with previous research pointing to the interrelatedness of tobacco use and psychiatric disorders among pregnant women (Gilman, Breslau, Subramanian, Hitsman, & Koenen, 2008;Hei, Higgins, Mongeon, Badger, & Bernstein, 2006;McCormick, et al, 1990). Results also suggest that women who use alcohol during pregnancy are no more likely than pregnant abstainers to experience depression, another finding that is consistent with prior research on alcohol use and mental health during pregnancy (Harrison & Sidebottom, 2009). This may, in part, reflect more permissive cultural norms around alcohol, as compared to tobacco, use during pregnancy.…”

“…These studies indicate that compared to those who abstain during pregnancy, pregnant women who use alcohol tend to be older, earlier in pregnancy, pre-pregnancy drinkers, smokers, or have mental health problems (CDC, 2012;Harrison & Sidebottom, 2009;Leonardson, Loudenburg, & Struck, 2007;O'Connor & Whaley, 2003;Sung, 2012;Zammit, Skouteris, Wertheim, Paxton, Milgrom, 2008). Compared to those who do not smoke tobacco during pregnancy, pregnant women who smoke tobacco are more likely to be white, unmarried, have other smokers in the household, and report elevated stress levels, and depression (Blalock, Robinson, Wetter, & Cinciripini, 2005;Colman & Joyce, 2003;Orr, Newton, Tarwater, & Weismiller, 2005;Tong, Jones, Dietz, D'Angelo, & Bombard, 2009;Zhu & Valbo, 2002).…”

“…Smoking is known to relieve stress, unhappiness, depression, and anxiety, which can be increased during pregnancies in women with abusive childhood experiences [11]. In agreement with two other studies [1], we could not confirm the association between CSA and alcohol or drug abuse during pregnancy found by others [6,8,9,22]. It seems unlikely that underestimation of illegal drug use is responsible for our results, as this would be expected for exposed and unexposed women likewise.…”

Aims: To explore the association between childhood sexual abuse (CSA), physical abuse, as well as other adverse childhood experiences (ACE), and different obstetrical risk factors/behaviors. Methods: In this cohort study, obstetrical risk factors and perinatal outcome in 85 women exposed to CSA were compared to 170 matched unexposed women. CSA, physical abuse, and ACE were explored by face-to-face interviews and by questionnaire. Data on perinatal outcome were extracted from medical charts. Fisher's exact, χ 2 -test, and multiple logistic regression were used for statistical analysis. Results: During pregnancy women with CSA experiences were significantly more often smoking (31.7%/9.4%; P < 0.0001), had partners abusing drugs (10.6%/1.2%; P < 0.0005), experienced physical (16.5%/0; P < 0.0001), sexual (12.9%/0; P < 0.0001), and emotional abuse (44.7%/1.7%; P < 0.0001), reported depression (24.7%/1.8%; P < 0.0001), and suicidal ideation (10.6%/0; P < 0.0001) than women without CSA experiences. Differences in risk factors were more often correlated with physical than with sexual abuse during childhood. The probability for premature delivery was associated with CSA, physical abuse and ACE as well as with several of the risk factors investigated. Conclusion: Women with CSA, physical, and ACE present with a variety of abuse-associated obstetrical risk factors and an increased risk for premature delivery. Therefore, all types of abusive and other ACE should be considered in prenatal care.

“…Several studies have had the goal of investigating alcohol habits, consumption before and during pregnancy and perceptions of antenatal advice among women of childbearing age [18][19][20][21], whereas among women in fertile age in contraceptive counselling, there are few studies, if any, which have investigated alcohol habits and opinions about discussing life style factors at these visits. It appears to us that staff at the contraceptive counselling units might have an excellent opportunity to discuss life style aspects and to inform women about the importance of general alcohol abstinence when planning pregnancy.…”

Objective: The aims of this study was to use visits for contraceptive counselling as opportunities for examining women's actual life style habits with the main focus being placed on alcohol consumption but also to evaluate the women's opinions about discussing their alcohol and tobacco habits and their weight status.Methods: A total of 535/802 (67%) women completed a study-specific anonymous questionnaire after a contraceptive counselling visit with a midwife.Results: A majority of the women thought that a discussion concerning alcohol habits at a contraceptive counselling session was important (85.5 %) and not intrusive (86.4%) neither embarrassing (81.7%). Women with high-risk drinking habits were younger, more often tobacco users and more often planning for childbirth in the future, compared with women who did not display high-risk drinking behaviour. A significantly higher percentage of women who practiced high-risk drinking thought that a discussion of alcohol was intrusive (10.9 %) and embarrassing (46.7 %), compared with women not practicing high-risk alcohol consumption. Most women (72.9 %) stated that no other caregiver during the preceding year except the midwife had discussed drinking habits with them. The weight was a good thing that the midwife brought up for discussion according to 82.5% of the women but the discussions about weight was more often found embarrassing (18.4%) than the discussion about alcohol habits. Conclusion:Women who came for contraceptive counselling found the discussion concerning alcohol habits important, not intrusive or embarrassing and a good thing to be brought up by the midwife.
