Exploring how communicating risk can impact maternal self-worth and esteem for women who smoke in an antenatal service setting
During pregnancy, women are commonly considered responsible for minimising foetal risks by actively engaging in reproductive asceticism. Cigarette smoking is culturally constructed as ‘risky behaviour’ with adverse health outcomes. This article explores how health-providers discuss smoking risk in pregnancy, women’s perceptions of those conversations, and the impact on their smoking behaviour and understandings of self-worth. Health-providers (mi…
Maternal folate, one‐carbon metabolism and pregnancy outcomes
Single nucleotide polymorphisms and pre- and peri-conception folic acid (FA) supplementation and dietary data were used to identify one-carbon metabolic factors associated with pregnancy outcomes in 3196 nulliparous women. In 325 participants, we also measured circulating folate, vitamin B12 and homocysteine. Pregnancy outcomes included preeclampsia (PE), gestational hypertension (GHT), small for gestational age (SGA), spontaneous preterm birth (…
Folate, Vitamin B12, Vitamin B6 and homocysteine: Impact on pregnancy outcome
Good clinical practice recommends folic acid supplementation 1 month prior to pregnancy and during the first trimester to prevent congenital malformations. However, high rates of fetal growth and development in later pregnancy may increase the demand for folate. Folate and vitamins B12 and B6 are required for DNA synthesis and cell growth, and are involved in homocysteine metabolism. The primary aim of this study was to determine if maternal fola…
