. The case records of all adolescent mothers who delivered in hospital were retrieved. The major complications and the outcome were compared between adolescent mothers and adults mothers (20 -34 years) who delivered in the same period. Results: During the study period there were 262 deliveries in our hospital, of which 64 (24.4%) were teenage mothers. The mean age of the adolescent mothers was 18.01 (±0.95) and mean gestational period of adolescent mothers was 37.8 weeks (±1.23), comparing to mean age of adult pregnancy was 27.45 (±3.8) and the gestational period was 38.7 weeks (±0.95), Adolescent mothers were significantly higher in inadequate AN visits (18.3% vs. 11.4%), Serology Positive at AN visit (16.7 % vs. 6.4 %), anemia (23% vs. 7.8%), PROM (26.7% vs. 15.1%), eclampsia (15% vs. 6.6%), emergency CS (31.7% vs. 18.7%), poor Apgar score (10% vs. 3 %) and low birth babies (11.6% vs. 3%). Conclusions: Pregnant teenagers are definitely at greater risk, requiring more attention and effective antenatal care for prevention and treatment of anemia, prematurity, IUGR and LBW. To prevent the adverse outcome, steps should be taken to avoid teenage pregnancies by creating public awareness and health education about reproductive health in Kawthaung province.

“…In addition, only 40% of women knew that folic acid is beneficial for the fetus, and only 17% knew that the usage of it reduces the risk of neural tube defects [23]. Other studies revealed that infertile couples are more aware of the need of folic acid taking, but such awareness is not necessarily connected with its regular consumption [24].…”

Planning and preparation for pregnancy among women with and without a history of infertility

et al. 2018

Objectives: Preconception counseling, maternal health-related habits, diet, folic acid consumption, substances abuse, may all impact the outcome of pregnancy. The aim of this study was to compare the planning and preparation for pregnancy among pregnant women with and without infertility. Material and methods:A survey of health behaviors prior to and during pregnancy that could affect pregnancy outcomes, including laboratory tests performed, stimulant usage, initiation of prenatal care, and folic acid intake, was conducted among 400 pregnant women. The study group included 121 women (30.25%) diagnosed with prior infertility, while the control group included 279 women (69.74%) who did not report any problems conceiving.Results: All patients (100%) from the study group and 70,97% from the control group planned their pregnancy(p < 0.0001). Patients in the study group performed significantly more laboratory tests prior to pregnancy, including: complete blood count, urine analysis, fasting blood glucose concentration, testing for toxoplasmosis, and Pap smear, compared with the control group (p < 0.0001). There was no difference between groups regarding the knowledge of when and why folic acid supplementation is required (p > 0.05). Conclusions:Effective education of women, regarding pregnancy planning and behaviours, that may impact pregnancy outcome is still a serious challange to public health in Poland. Our study indicates that reaching general population with the education is most important to achieve best results in preconceptional care.

“…In the present case, M. has not sought for any help for her ED, until 23 weeks of gestation. Thus, the low hemoglobin levels during the first trimester have been likely associated with the intrauterine growth delay and low weight at birth (77).…”

Background: Patients with eating disorders (EDs) engage in different self-inflicted at-risk behaviors, including suicide, attempted suicide and non-suicidal self-injury. Our aim was to describe the occurrence and underlying motivations of non-suicidal extreme risk-taking behaviors in patients with EDs.Methods: Four cases from different treatment centers in Israel were analyzed.Results: All patients were females hospitalized in inpatient settings because of long lasting anorexia nervosa (AN) with either binge/purge or purging episodes (AN-B/P/AN-P), including in most cases both self-induced voting and laxative abuse. Case [1] was an adolescent also diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus. She abused insulin, both omission and overdose, was highly suicidal, and suffered from comorbid oppositional behavior, depression and anxiety. Case [2] was a 24-years old woman, transitioning from restricting to AN with vomiting and laxative use during inpatient treatment. She was also diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts. In hospital, she developed excessive water consumption, leading to very low urine concentrations and sodium levels, and one episode of loss of consciousness. Case [3] was in her late thirties, demonstrating particularly massive laxative abuse. She also suffered from alcohol addiction, sexual trauma, and one attempted suicide. During hospitalization she developed laxative-abuse-related rectal prolapse that was successfully operated. Nonetheless, after operation she resumed laxative abuse. Case [4] was a 23-year old pregnant women with highly active AN-B/P during pregnancy. She was hospitalized at 23 weeks of gestation following abdominal pressure. She only partly complied with inpatient treatment, discharged herself against medical advice after 5 weeks, and gave birth at week 34.Discussion: All cases were females with long-standing B/P type AN, often with multiple purging behaviors, other impulsive and non-impulsive comorbidities, and many environmental vulnerabilities. Different motivations were found for these extreme behaviors in addition to ED-related factors, mostly not related to suicide.
