“…Other studies have also showed that pregnant women suffer from varying degrees of depression and from anxiety disorders (31,32). It seems unknown fear, stress, and daily activities pressure make them feel more to receive such information.…”

Background: Given that family health is tied to women health, illness, or death of a woman has an adverse effect on the health of her child, family, and community; awareness of women's preferences in receiving health information can help to improve and modify the methods of informing and providing appropriate services to them, and also makes pregnant women training more efficient and more effective. Objectives: The aim of this study is to prioritize the preferences of women before and during pregnancy on receiving health information. Patients and Methods: This descriptive study was performed on pregnant women who had referred to health care centers affiliated to Semnan University of Medical Sciences, Iran in 2014. An anonymous self-administered questionnaire was developed. Results:The results showed that 17.5% (n = 35) of the participants reported their information needs about physical health to become pregnant, 36% (n = 72) psychological readiness for pregnancy and 57.5% (n = 115) domestic violence and its impact on the health of the mother and fetus. Number of previous delivery had a negative and significant relationship with the pregnant women's preferences (B = -1.31, P < 0.001). Conclusions: It is concluded that the most of pregnant women are oblivious to their health for getting pregnant and some of them experience symptoms of mental disorders in reproductive age. The findings show that domestic violence is a hidden and persistent epidemic among the pregnant women. Women, who had more previous delivery, needed this information less.

“…Maternal BMI is an important risk factor for preterm birth and is of public health importance independently. Some researchers have shown an increase in preterm birth with low BMI or BMI <18.5 kg/m 2 [19][20][21]. Others support an increase in provider initiated preterm birth with increasing BMI [22,23].…”

Pregnancy and Birth Outcomes

Some of the important pregnancy outcomes such as preterm delivery, growth restriction and low birth weight (LBW) infant, stillbirth, and some long-term chronic diseases vary by race and ethnicity but also tend to be associated with gestational age of the infant at birth. In the United States, during the last 25-30 years, the rate of low birth weight has increased, as has the rate of preterm delivery among both whites and blacks. Examination of causes for these secular trends has focused mainly on changes in the distribution of maternal age, race, and certain psychosocial factors. However, gestational age at birth is associated with most of these pregnancy outcomes, particularly infant mortality, certain morbidities, birth weight, and preterm birth. In this chapter, the association between gestational age and some significant pregnancy outcomes will be discussed.

“…O estresse na gestação está associado à ocorrência de abortos espontâneos (GREENBERG, 2002;MULDER et al, 2002), ao trabalho de parto prematuro (STEER, 2005;MULDER et al, 2002), à hipertensão arterial induzida pela gravidez (BJELICA, 2004;TAKIUTI e KAHHALE, 2001), ao baixo peso ao nascer (LECH;MARTINS, 2003;MULDER et al, 2002;NEGGERS et al, 2006), podendo afetar também o desenvolvimento do feto (RIEGER et al, 2004; R. da Educação Física/UEM Maringá, v. 20, n. 1, p. 121-129, 1. trim. 2009 MULDER et al, 2002).…”

RESUMOCom o objetivo de investigar a ocorrência e controle do estresse em gestantes sedentárias e fisicamente ativas, 30 gestantes usuárias do Sistema Único de Saúde/São José/SC responderam a Escala de Estresse Percebido, questões referentes às fontes, estratégias de controle do estresse e nível de atividade física. Foi empregada estatística descritiva e inferencial. Verificou-se que 66,7% das gestantes são sedentárias e 93% apresentaram elevados níveis de estresse proveniente de fontes intrínsecas e extrínsecas à gestação. As estratégias de controle do estresse foram semelhantes entre os grupos, porém as ativas incluem significativamente mais a prática de atividade física (p= 0,00), ler, descansar ou dar uma curta caminhada (p= 0,045) que as sedentárias. Embora a atividade física não tenha relação com menores níveis de estresse, diferenças entre os grupos foram encontradas para fontes e estratégias de controle do estresse, apontando para os benefícios da adoção de um estilo de vida mais ativo.
