Effects of Digital Mindfulness Training for Couples on Psychological Distress and Infant Neuropsychological Development: Randomized Controlled Trial

Effects of Digital Mindfulness Training for Couples on Psychological Distress and Infant Neuropsychological Development: Randomized Controlled Trial

Pregnancy and childbirth, particularly the gestation and birth of the first child, represent pivotal life transitions and developmental milestones within the family life cycle [1]. In particular, the antenatal period imposes unique psychological demands on couples, as pregnancy-specific physiological changes (eg, hormonal fluctuations and somatic alterations) intersect with the developmental task of preparing for parental identity formation.

Compliance and Satisfaction With a Protocol for Identifying Novel Targets to Support Postpartum Opioid Use Disorder Recovery: Prospective Cohort Study

Compliance and Satisfaction With a Protocol for Identifying Novel Targets to Support Postpartum Opioid Use Disorder Recovery: Prospective Cohort Study

Hormonal influences on substance misuse behaviors may be amplified during the perinatal period, as hormones change by up to 300-fold during pregnancy, followed by a dramatic decline in the early postpartum and additional variation with lactation [20]. Interestingly, some of the natural hormonal patterns that occur during the perinatal period directly mirror the risk of substance misuse.

Examining the Impact of a Codeveloped Multicomponent Mobile eHealth Lifestyle Intervention on Physical Activity and Its Association With Gestational Weight Gain in Underserved Women: A Statewide Randomized Controlled Trial

Examining the Impact of a Codeveloped Multicomponent Mobile eHealth Lifestyle Intervention on Physical Activity and Its Association With Gestational Weight Gain in Underserved Women: A Statewide Randomized Controlled Trial

Physical activity is an important aspect of a healthy lifestyle, particularly during pregnancy. Regular physical activity during pregnancy is associated with lower gestational weight gain (GWG) and a lower risk of adverse perinatal outcomes [1,2]. Despite the benefits of physical activity, only 32% of pregnant women achieve the recommended amount of at least 150 minutes of moderate physical activity per week throughout pregnancy [3].

Expectant Mothers’ Reflections on Childhood and Parenting: Cross-Sectional Study

Expectant Mothers’ Reflections on Childhood and Parenting: Cross-Sectional Study

Early, unplanned pregnancies, often predisposed by adversity in childhood and adolescence [4], can increase the risk of both socioeconomic disadvantage and medical complications related to pregnancy, birth, and child health [5]. Moreover, parental adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) [6] have been associated with elevated parenting stress, with attachment style identified as a potential mediator [7-10].

Experiences of Pregnant Women With a Positive HIV Status in Sub-Saharan Africa: Protocol for a Scoping Review

Experiences of Pregnant Women With a Positive HIV Status in Sub-Saharan Africa: Protocol for a Scoping Review

This is because pregnancy is a period in which physiological, hormonal, social, and psychological changes occur [11]. These changes may cause more concern in women living with HIV. In addition to coping with the effects of pregnancy and dealing with the anxieties of childbirth [12,13], they have concerns related to HIV disclosure, stigma, and fear of infecting the unborn child [14]. This is exacerbated in unplanned pregnancies [15].

The Effectiveness of an Artificial Intelligence–Based Gamified Intervention for Improving Maternal Health Outcomes Among Refugees and Underserved Women in Lebanon: Community Interventional Trial

The Effectiveness of an Artificial Intelligence–Based Gamified Intervention for Improving Maternal Health Outcomes Among Refugees and Underserved Women in Lebanon: Community Interventional Trial

Disadvantaged pregnant women in Lebanon encounter various maternal health complications and adverse pregnancy outcomes, including higher-than-usual cesarean section (C-section) deliveries due to pregnancy complications, preterm births, and hemorrhages, among others [5-7]. One key challenge is the limited access to antenatal care (ANC) services [8-10].
