The Effect of a Mobile App (eMOM) on Self-Discovery and Psychological Factors in Persons With Gestational Diabetes: Mixed Methods Study

The Effect of a Mobile App (eMOM) on Self-Discovery and Psychological Factors in Persons With Gestational Diabetes: Mixed Methods Study

The recent results of our randomized controlled trial (RCT) demonstrated that individuals with GDM who used e MOM improved their fasting glucose levels, enhanced physical activity, increased vegetable intake, and resulted in less weight gain during pregnancy [21]. Additionally, the incidence of newborns with macrosomia was lower among the individuals using e MOM [21].

Association of Self-Rated Health in Pregnancy With Maternal Childhood Experiences, Socioeconomic Status, Parity, and Choice of Antenatal Care Providers: Cross-Sectional Study

Mental health issues are prevalent in pregnancy, with an American study estimating that approximately 12% of women experience a major depressive episode during pregnancy [25,26]. In Norway, over 9% of women report experiencing a postpartum depression [27]. While some studies suggest that mental health may remain stable or even improve during pregnancy [16], women with low social support are at an increased risk of developing mental health challenges [28].

Quality Assessment of Web-Based Information Related to Diet During Pregnancy in Pregnant Women: Cross-Sectional Descriptive Study

Most women used the internet to access pregnancy-related information and found it beneficial [3]. Approximately 96% of pregnant women in Canada use the internet to find information about nutrition during pregnancy, with 75% reporting that they use the internet more often than any other source [4]. Women who are in their mid-20s to 30s, who were educated after high school, are employed, and are first-time mothers are more likely to obtain nutrition-related information from the internet [5].

A Conversational Agent Using Natural Language Processing for Postpartum Care for New Mothers: Development and Engagement Analysis

A Conversational Agent Using Natural Language Processing for Postpartum Care for New Mothers: Development and Engagement Analysis

The “fourth trimester,” or postpartum time period, is often a forgotten “trimester” of pregnancy, yet plays a critical role in parental and newborn well-being. While undergoing numerous physiologic and emotional changes following birth, patients are also susceptible to complications such as infection, thrombosis, and hypertensive disorders as well as the new onset or exacerbation of mental health disorders [1,2].

Exploring Psychosocial Burdens of Diabetes in Pregnancy and the Feasibility of Technology-Based Support: Qualitative Study

Exploring Psychosocial Burdens of Diabetes in Pregnancy and the Feasibility of Technology-Based Support: Qualitative Study

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), defined by the World Health Organization as a condition of hyperglycemia in pregnancy with blood glucose measurements exceeding normal values but below values diagnostic of diabetes, and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2 DM) during pregnancy impose greater burdens and correlate with greater health risks including increased rates of maternal and neonatal morbidity than diabetes mellitus (DM) outside of pregnancy [1]. Antenatal DM management mitigates these risks [2].
