Mother and Infant Research Unit researcher Jo Green said: "There is... view more... (2004-06-08)

A new study by NYU dental researchers suggests that women with dental caries (cavities) who deliver Caesarean-section babies should pay special attention to their newborns' oral health. view more (2005-08-24)
Technology for monitoring fetal oxygen during labor offers no apparent benefit
A new technology for measuring blood oxygen levels of a baby during labor-expected to provide information useful for preventing birth complications-offers no apparent benefit, report researchers in a National Institutes of Health research network. view more (2006-11-27)
Incontinence a common postnatal problem
Almost a quarter of all mothers have problems with exertion incontinence one year after childbirth, according to a new doctoral thesis from Karolinska Institutet. However, despite many physical ailments, new mothers have better self-rated health than other women in the same age group. view more (2006-12-13)

Teenagers not at higher risk during first birth, but a second may lead to complications
Teenagers giving birth for the first time are not at increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes. However, those having second births run an almost threefold risk of premature delivery and stillbirth, concludes a study in this week's BMJ. Researchers at Glasgow University identified over 110,000 non-smoking women, aged between 15 and 29 years,... view more... (2001-08-29)
