OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the accuracy, clinical utility, and usability of a wireless fetal maternal heartbeat monitor to heart rate (FHR). METHODS: We conducted prospective, single-center study convenience sample women aged 18 years or older with singleton pregnancy at least 12 weeks gestation. Fetal recordings were performed using both cardiotocography accuracy. Clinicians used in clinic. Women device, unassisted, during clinic visit home. Obstetricians assessed utility FHR traces. rated...
Abstract Background: Childhood obesity is a global issue. Excessive weight gain in early pregnancy independently associated with the next generation. Given uptake of e-health, our primary aim was to pilot feasibility an e-health intervention, starting first trimester, promote healthy lifestyle and prevent excess pregnancy. Methods: Women were recruited between 8 11 weeks gestation randomised intervention or routine antenatal care. The involved program providing diet, physical activity...
Early excess and inadequate gestational weight gain (GWG) have been associated with negative outcomes for mother child. The use of digital media to deliver pregnancy lifestyle interventions is increasing, but there little data on participant engagement. Pregnancy Lifestyle Activity Nutrition (PLAN) intervention pilot study was an electronic health dietetic-delivered program promoting healthy GWG in early pregnancy.This aims explore the interactions participants assess its acceptability.This...

Background: Operative vaginal delivery is a common obstetric intervention, with the potential to cause harm mother and baby. Training in operative traditionally comprised junior trainees learning skills under supervision, then practicing refining them independently. Recently this model has come scrutiny, advent of simulation-based training suggesting method by which safe may be taught without risk. Multiple courses exist, but few have been subjected evaluation. Aims: The primary aim was...
