“…The multifaceted mechanisms of preterm birth and pre-eclampsia will require further investigation to explain these findings. Lower birthweight and possibly smaller placental size of babies with migrant mothers may partly explain migrants’ lower risk of postpartum haemorrhage than the Swedish population 37 , 38 …”

BackgroundAn increasing number of migrants have fled armed conflict, persecution and deteriorating living conditions, many of whom have also endured risky migration journeys to reach Europe. Despite this, little is known about the perinatal health of migrant women who are particularly vulnerable, such as refugees, asylum-seekers, and undocumented migrants, and their access to perinatal care in the host country.MethodsUsing the Swedish Pregnancy Register, we analyzed indicators of perinatal health and health care usage in 31 897 migrant women from the top five refugee countries of origin between 2014 and 2017. We also compared them to native-born Swedish women.ResultsCompared to Swedish-born women, migrant women from Syria, Iraq, Somali, Eritrea and Afghanistan had higher risks of poor self-rated health, gestational diabetes, stillbirth and infants with low birthweight. Within the migrant population, asylum-seekers and undocumented migrants had a higher risk of poor maternal self-rated health than refugee women with residency, with an adjusted risk ratio (RR) of 1.84 and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) of 1.72–1.97. They also had a higher risk of preterm birth (RR 1.47, 95% CI 1.21–1.79), inadequate antenatal care (RR 2.56, 95% CI 2.27–2.89) and missed postpartum care visits (RR 1.15, 95% CI 1.10–1.22).ConclusionRefugee, asylum-seeking and undocumented migrant women were vulnerable during pregnancy and childbirth. Living without residence permits negatively affected self-rated health, pregnancy and birth outcomes in asylum-seekers and undocumented migrants. Pregnant migrant women’s special needs should be addressed by those involved in the asylum reception process and by health care providers.

“…134 In addition, high placental weight/birthweight ratios have been associated with induction of labour, 158 acute and elective caesarean sections, 118,158 spontaneous preterm birth, 158 postterm delivery, 158 delivery of low birthweight infants, 158 and excess postpartum haemorrhage. 170 The relative enlargement of the placenta in these pregnancies can be an adequate biological response to increase the chance of fetal survival, but in some pregnancies the enlargement may not be sufficient for the fetus to survive.…”
