“Now that the baby is out, I can be vaccinated”: A qualitative study on Covid-19 vaccine hesitancy in pregnant women in Kilifi, Kenya
COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective in pregnancy, but vaccine hesitancy limits uptake and effectiveness. This study explored COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy in pregnancy in Kilifi, coastal Kenya, to elicit reasons for vaccine hesitancy and acceptance, and to compile misconceptions around vaccination in pregnancy. Twenty-three in-depth interviews were conducted with pregnant women, mothers who had given birth in the previous 2 years and health wor…
Preconception Interventions in Women at High Risk of Developing Gestational Diabetes: A Systematic Review
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a common pregnancy-related complication. The modest benefits of interventions to prevent GDM in women with high risk during pregnancy has shifted the focus to the preconception period. However, research on the effectiveness of preconception interventions in women who are more likely to develop GDM is lacking. This review aimed to assess the effect of preconception interventions, including behavioural strateg…

The UK Pregnancies Better Eating and Activity Trial (Upbeat); Pregnancy Outcomes and Health Behaviours by Obesity Class
The effectiveness of antenatal intervention in women with increasing obesity is unknown. This study investigated whether there was a differential effect of antenatal intervention on diet, physical activity and pregnancy outcomes in women stratified by obesity class using data from the UK Pregnancies Better Eating and Activity Trial (UPBEAT) ( n = 1555). The stratification was by World Health Organization classifications: Class I, II and III (30-3…
Is There an Association Between Diet, Physical Activity and Depressive Symptoms in the Perinatal Period? An Analysis of the Upbeat Cohort of Obese Pregnant Women
Glycaemic load may be a useful focus for interventions aiming to optimise the mental health of obese women in the perinatal period
Before the beginning: Nutrition and lifestyle in the preconception period and its importance for future health
Maternal selenium, copper and zinc concentrations in pregnancy associated with small‐for‐gestational‐age infants
Pregnancy during adolescence increases the risk of adverse pregnancy outcome, especially small-for-gestational-age (SGA) birth, which has been linked to micronutrient deficiencies. Smoking has been shown to be related to lower micronutrient concentrations. Different ethnicities have not been examined. We used a subset from a prospective observational study, the About Teenage Eating study consisting of 126 pregnant adolescents (14-18-year-olds) be…
Agreement between pedometer and accelerometer in measuring physical activity in overweight and obese pregnant women
Despite statistically significant correlations and similar median step counts, the overall agreement between pedometer and accelerometer step counts was poor and varied with activity level. Pedometer and accelerometer steps cannot be used interchangeably in overweight and obese pregnant women
