“…Migrant Ethiopian women gain little weight during pregnancy, potentially for similar reasons (Salim et al . ). These women have higher incidences of emergency Caesareans and interventions during labour, pre‐eclampsia, early postpartum haemorrhage, preterm and post‐term birth, stillbirth and small‐for‐gestational‐age babies (Salim et al .…”

Aims and objectives. To discuss Ethiopian food taboos during pregnancy and their relation to maternal nutritional status and pregnancy outcomes.Background. Recent waves of migration have seen large groups of Ethiopian refugees moving to countries around the globe. This is of concern as Ethiopian women are at risk for a number of medical and pregnancy complications. Health is further compromised by poor diet and adherence to cultural food beliefs and taboos. In refugee women, many of these factors correspond with significantly higher rates of pregnancy complications and poor birth outcomes.Design. This is a discussion paper informed by a literature review. Conclusions. There are many serious consequences of poor diet during pregnancy, however most of these can be avoided by greater awareness about the role of nutrition during pregnancy and by adopting a balanced diet. ETHIOPIAN PREGNANCY FOOD TABOOSRelevance to clinical practice. There is an urgent unmet need for nutrition education among Ethiopian women. Research indicates that Ethiopian women are receptive to nutritional advice during pregnancy and also that pregnant women are generally motivated to act in the baby's interest. These factors suggest that this high risk group would be receptive to culturally appropriate nutrition education, which would provide much needed meaningful support in pregnancy.

“…Despite regional variations, few studies have reported variations in pre-eclampsia among immigrants to industrialised countries according to maternal birthplace or ethnic origin and almost none in eclampsia 10–14. These studies were based on a single setting, such as a hospital,12,13 midwife practices,15 a city,10,11 or a province14 and used different definitions of the outcomes and migrant groups. Conclusions regarding disparities according to immigrants' maternal birthplace based on single-site studies may not be generalisable to other settings.…”

ObjectiveTo assess disparities in pre-eclampsia and eclampsia among immigrant women from various world regions giving birth in six industrialised countries.DesignCross-country comparative study of linked population-based databases.SettingProvincial or regional obstetric delivery data from Australia, Canada, Spain and the USA and national data from Denmark and Sweden.PopulationAll immigrant and non-immigrant women delivering in the six industrialised countries within the most recent 10-year period available to each participating centre (1995–2010).MethodsData was collected using standardised definitions of the outcomes and maternal regions of birth. Pooled data were analysed with multilevel models. Within-country analyses used stratified logistic regression to obtain odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI).Main outcome measuresPre-eclampsia, eclampsia and pre-eclampsia with prolonged hospitalisation (cases per 1000 deliveries).ResultsThere were 9 028 802 deliveries (3 031 399 to immigrant women). Compared with immigrants from Western Europe, immigrants from Sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America & the Caribbean were at higher risk of pre-eclampsia (OR: 1.72; 95% CI: 1.63, 1.80 and 1.63; 95% CI: 1.57, 1.69) and eclampsia (OR: 2.12; 95% CI: 1.61, 2.79 and 1.55; 95% CI: 1.26, 1. 91), respectively, after adjustment for parity, maternal age and destination country. Compared with native-born women, European and East Asian immigrants were at lower risk in most industrialised countries. Spain exhibited the largest disparities and Australia the smallest.ConclusionImmigrant women from Sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America & the Caribbean require increased surveillance due to a consistently high risk of pre-eclampsia and eclampsia.

“…Australia is a multicultural country, with one of the highest CS rates globally, but there is little population‐based research on CS rates for immigrants in general and African immigrants in particular. Existing international studies have reported an overall higher CS risk for African immigrants, but it is unclear whether this higher risk is present for women without previous CS or differs by parity or by specific maternal country of origin. Therefore, we studied variations in first‐time caesarean birth, particularly unplanned CS in labour between Eastern African immigrants (Eritrea, Ethiopia, Somalia, Sudan) and Australian‐born women using the Victorian Perinatal Data Collection (VPDC).…”
