“…Some literature explained BP and weight measurement are very essential during pregnancy as because state of being more or less it causes hypertensive disorder, pre-eclampsia, eclampsia, oedema. [12][13][14] Our study result showed that economically poor and less educated women were less likely to measured their weight and BP during gestational period. The study found that young women (<18 years) were less likely to took iron supplements.…”

“…11 During gestation period the first visit of ANC consists of weight measurement, blood pressure (BP) measurement, blood test and urine test for the pregnant women, so the attending the first antenatal care visit is very crucial for pregnant women for improving health assessment. 12,13 Weight measurement during maternity care is very important because it estimates the risk during pregnancy and customised growth Abbreviations: MMR, Maternal Mortality Rate; ANC, Antenatal Care; BP, Blood Pressure; NFHS, National Family Health Survey.…”

Background: For a long period of time Empowered Action Group States (EAG) of India are cursed with maternal mortality and morbidity. Most of the pregnant women are not acquiescent to receive the routine check-up during Antenatal Care (ANC) and many of them cautiously skip the same. The study aims to explore the obstacle of ANC in women's perspective and their participation in this. Methods: The study has incorporated most recent fourth round of National Family Health Survey data conducted in 2015-16. Descriptive statistics along with association test and binary logistic regression model have been applied to understand the differential and determinants of ANC. Result: The behaviour of not taking ANC check-ups (measuring the weight and BP, tested urine and blood sample, taking iron supplements) during pregnancy was significantly higher among women who married in early age (<18 years), had no formal education, belonged to poor socioeconomic status. Conclusion: Most of the maternal health issues during the gestational period are associated with socio-economic and demographic aspects and mostly due to unawareness and ignorance of the people. It would be benevolent in increasing awareness and taking the necessary visit to receive the routine check-up in ANC is for the duo mothers and foetus.

“…Correct cuff size is important for accurate blood pressure recording. A large cuff with an inflatable bladder covering 80% of the arm circumference should be used if the upper arm circumference is >33 cm but <44 cm and a thigh cuff used if the upper arm circumference is >44 cm . This helps to minimise overdiagnosis of hypertension during pregnancy.…”

This guideline is an evidence based, practical clinical approach to the management of Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy. Since the previous SOMANZ guideline published in 2008, there has been significant international progress towards harmonisation of definitions in relation to both the diagnosis and management of preeclampsia and gestational hypertension. This reflects increasing knowledge of the pathophysiology of these conditions, as well as their clinical manifestations. In addition, the guideline includes the management of chronic hypertension in pregnancy, an approach to screening, advice regarding prevention of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, and discussion of recurrence risks and long term risk to maternal health. The literature reviewed included the previous SOMANZ Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy guideline from 2008 and its reference list, plus all other published National and International Guidelines on this subject. Medline, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (CDSR), Cochrane Central Registry of Controlled Trials (CCRCT), National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) Evidence Search, and Database of Abstracts and Reviews of Effects (DARE) were searched for literature published between January 2007 and March, 2014.
