Abstract:

Background: Labour and birth are physiological and normal events. The process is considered to be normal if it takes 37-42 weeks without any complications. Non-pharmacological methods to speed up the progress of labour include birthing ball exercises. The Birthing ball exercise is a technique to help the progress of labour that can be used during the first stage of labour. Until now, birthing balls are not widely known and not common, even though birthing balls are very effective in accelerating the birth process. The advantage of using the birthing ball is that it increases blood flow to the uterus, placenta and baby, and provides comfort for the knees and ankles. Purposes: The purpose of this study was to determine the average length of the first stage of labour in primigravida using a birthing ball and those not using a birthing ball and the effect of the birthing ball on the duration of the first stage of labour in primigravida. Method: This study uses a quasi-experimental method with a Randomized Two-Group design, Post-test only. This study was held at Utama Barokah Clinic, Bandung from June to July 2021. Result: The research sample was 30 respondents, primigravida during the first stage of labour with data analysis using the Mann Whitney test, and the p value <0.05 was obtained. Conclusion: There was a difference in the average length of the first stage of labour in primigravida using a birthing ball and those not using a birthing ball.

Abstract:

During the COVID-19 pandemic, several hospitals implemented “birthing alone” policies, banning companions (e.g., partners, family members, doulas) from accompanying individuals giving birth. We offer an ethical analysis of these policies. First, we examine them through a consequentialist framework of risks and benefits. Second, we consider the significance of birth, highlighting the unique ways in which risks, relationships, and rights are understood in the context of obstetrics. We conclude that birthing alone policies are largely unjustified, as the harm they are certain to cause outweighs their possible benefits and because they fail to take into account what matters to mothers.

Abstract:

Prenatal stress has been linked to preterm birth via inflammatory dysregulation. We conducted a cross-sectional study on female participants who delivered live, singleton infants at University of Pittsburgh Medical Center Magee Women’s Hospital. Participants (n = 200) were stratified by cumulative risk scores using a combination of individual factors (maternal education, diabetes, hypertension, smoking, relationship status, obesity, depression) and neighborhood deprivation scores. We hypothesized that inflammatory cytokines levels differ by risk group and race. Multiplex analyses of IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-13 and TNF-alpha were run. We found that Black birthing people had more risk factors for chronic stress and had lower levels of IL-6 compared to White birthing people. When stratified by risk group and race, low-risk Black birthing people had lower levels of IL-6 compared to low-risk White birthing people, and high-risk Black birthing people had lower levels of IL-8 compared to high-risk White birthing people. Higher area deprivation scores were associated with lower IL-6 levels. Our results suggest that the relationship between chronic stress and inflammatory cytokines is modified by race. We theorize that Black birthing people encounter repetitive stress due to racism and social disadvantage which may result in stress pathway desensitization and a blunted cytokine response to future stressors.

Abstract:

Hegmon and Trevathan's (1996) contention that Mimbres figurative pottery was probably painted by men ignorant about birthing, as evidenced by a virtually impossible birthing scene, is unsubstantiated. This claim was due to a lack of familiarity with the birthing motif they described, as well as selective and unrepresentative use of relevant ethnographic and historical data. We find no evidence that men painted Mimbres pottery.

Abstract:

This essay analyzes how James Baldwin’s late novel If Beale Street Could Talk represents Black women’s care work in the face of social death as an example of how Black women act as surrogates for Black liberation giving birth to a new world and possibilities of freedom for Black (male) people. Within the politics of Black nationalism, Black women were affective workers playing a vital role in the (re)creation of heteronormative family structures that formed the basis of Black liberation cohered by a belief in the power of patriarchy to make way for communal freedom. This essay demonstrates how Beale Street’s imagining of freedom centers not on what Black women do to support themselves or each other, but on the needs of the community at large, with embodied sacrifice as a presumed condition of such liberation.

Abstract:

Objectives: Our goal was to explore prenatal practices and birthing experiences among Black women living in an urban North Florida community.Design: Non-random qualitative study.Setting: Private spaces at a convenient location selected by the participant.Participants: Eleven Black women, aged 25-36 years, who were either pregnant or had given birth at least once in the past five years in North Florida.Methods: Semi-structured interviews were completed in July 2017, followed by thematic analysis of interview transcripts.Results: Four main themes emerged: a) decision-making strategies for employing alternative childbirth preparation (ie, midwives, birthing centers, and doulas); b) having access to formal community resources to support their desired approaches to perinatal care; c) seeking advice from women with similar perspectives on birthing and parenting; and d) being confident in one’s decisions. Despite seeking to incorporate “alternative” methods into their birthing plans, the majority of our participants ultimately delivered in-hospital.Conclusions: Preliminary results suggest that culturally relevant and patient-centered decision-making might enhance Black women’s perinatal experience although further research is needed to see if these findings are generalizable to a heterogenous US Black population. Implications for childbirth educators and health care professionals include: 1) recognizing the importance of racially and professionally diverse staffing in obstetric care practices; 2) empowering patients to communicate and achieve their childbirth desires; 3) ensuring an environment that is not only free of discrimination and disrespect, but that embodies respect (as perceived by patients of varied racial backgrounds) and cultural competence; and, 4) providing access to education and care outside of traditional work hours.Ethn Dis. 2021;31(2):227-234; doi:10.18865/ed.31.2.227

Abstract:

Background: In Kenya, approximately 38% of the children are delivered at home. Thus, hygienic practices during home birthing are essential in the prevention of infections to the mother and baby as well as prevention of neonatal deaths. The purpose of our study was to establish mothers’ knowledge, attitude and self-efficacy of clean birthing which would help her influence the behaviour of those assisting her during child birth. We used a correlational, cross-sectional design to examine the relationships knowledge, attitude, and self-efficacy and clean birthing practices.Methods: We collected data using a structured questionnaire through face to face interviews in Olkalou sub-county, Nyandarua County, Kenya. They consisted of 374 mothers of reproductive who had delivered at home six months before the start of the study. Multi-stage sampling technique was used to select the study sample. Likert scale was used to assess attitude and self-efficacy.Results: Close to 2/3rd of the babies were delivered at home by friends, relatives, traditional birth attendants (TBAs) or self-delivered. Cleanliness during home birthing was sub-optimal. Clean home birthing was associated with mothers’ knowledge (odds ratio=1.70) and marital status (OR=2.9).Conclusions: Despite the advocacy on skilled birth attendants, women continue to deliver at home, thus the need to empower mothers with knowledge, positive attitudes and self-efficacy on clean home birthing to reduce infections during childbirth.

Abstract:

Abstract An apparent opportunity for improvement in the swine industry is preweaning piglet mortality. Preweaning piglet mortality results in economic loss, decreasing productivity per sow, and food waste. One aspect of preweaning mortality, stillborn piglets, can be reduced with timely caretaker interventions to reduce interbirth interval. However, a single caretaker is often in charge of managing many farrowing events concurrently. To address this labor need, piglet interbirth interval could be monitored using thermal cameras. In the present study the performance of a custom image capturing and processing system was evaluated for its ability to identify piglet births. Thermal images of 4 sows in farrowing stalls were collected once every 2 seconds to compare the image processing algorithm’s ability to identify piglet interbirth interval with human observations. There were 66 piglets born in total. Piglets born less than 2 minutes apart were classified as one birthing event, resulting in 49 birthing events total. When the algorithm detected piglet birthing events, they were considered correct if they were within 2 minutes of the human timestamp. The algorithm correctly identified 27 out of 49 birthing events. The algorithm resulted in 22 false negatives and 27 false positives. Results show that 55% of birthing events were accurately detected. With further refinement, the algorithm has the potential to increase accuracy of piglet birthing event identification. The present study demonstrates that computer vision systems can be implemented to monitor piglet birthing events in real-time, allowing caretakers to target their efforts on the most at-risk animals in the farrowing room. This continuous monitoring system has the potential to change the view of farrowing in the swine industry.

Abstract:

A variety of birthing options is available today. Depending on the preference and the health of mother and baby, a mother may choose to deliver in the hospital, at a birthing center or at home. Beyond location, more and more women are choosing water births as the way their babies enter the world. A doctor, nurse-midwife, or midwife helps the mother through it. Midwives, birthing centers, and a growing number of obstetricians believe that reducing the stress of labor and delivery will reduce fetal complications.

Abstract:

AbstractThe study was conducted to assess the effect of ambulation and birthing ball on the maternal and newborn outcome from 01.08.2011 to 31.10.2011. This randomized control study was conducted on 60 primigravida mothers. Purposive sampling technique was used for the selection of samples followed by random allocation of 20 samples each to the three groups namely, ambulation, birthing ball and control group respectively using lottery method. Ambulation and birthing ball therapy were given to the respective samples between cervical dilatation of 1-3cm during first stage of labour, whereas the control group was not given any intervention. Here maternal outcome includes1st stage duration (Area1), 2nd stage duration (Area2), cervical dilatation rate (Area3), and type of delivery(Area4) and newborn outcome includes heart rate, respiratory rate, colour, reflex and muscle tone. Since the t calculated value in Area 1 (5.257), Area 2 (2.781), Area 3(5.438) is greater than t table value (2.042) and in Area 4, 75% of ambulation group underwent normal vaginal delivery, it shows that there is significant improvement in maternal outcome after the use of ambulation. The t calculated value in Area 1(7.223), Area 2 (5.556), Area 3(6.178) is greater than t table value (2.030) and in Area 4, 95% of birthing ball group underwent normal vaginal delivery. It shows that there is significant improvement in maternal outcome after the use of birthing ball therapy. Comparison of ambulation and birthing ball therapy on maternal outcome showed that, there is significant difference in second stage duration (t tab 2.031(df=36)< t cal 2.231= S) and type of delivery. In this study ambulation and birthing ball were found to be effective to improve maternal outcome and there was no harm to the baby. Both the experimental group mothers expressed that they were satisfied and comfortable.

Abstract:

Aim: To summarize, categorize, and describe published research on how birthing room design influences maternal and neonate physical and emotional outcomes. Background: The physical healthcare environment has significant effects on health and well-being. Research indicates that birthing environments can impact women during labor and birth. However, summaries of the effects of different environments around birth are scarce. Methods: We conducted a systematic review, searching 10 databases in 2016 and 2017 for published research from their inception dates, on how birthing room design influences maternal and neonate physical and emotional outcomes, using a protocol agreed a priori. The quality of selected studies was assessed, and data were extracted independently by pairs of authors and described in a narrative analysis. Results: In total, 3,373 records were identified and screened by title and abstract; 2,063 were excluded and the full text of 278 assessed for analysis. Another 241 were excluded, leaving 15 articles presenting qualitative and quantitative data from six different countries on four continents. The results of the analysis reveal four prominent physical themes in birthing rooms that positively influence on maternal and neonate physical and emotional outcomes: (1) means of distraction, comfort, and relaxation; (2) raising the birthing room temperature; (3) features of familiarity; and (4) diminishing a technocratic environment. Conclusions: The evidence on how birthing environments affect outcomes of labor and birth is incomplete. There is a crucial need for more research in this field.

Abstract:

Die alternative Geburtsmedizin mit alternativen Gebärmethoden wurde als Reaktion auf den Technologierausch in der Geburtsmedizin eingeführt. Als alternative Gebärmethoden etabliert haben sich Geburten auf dem Maiahocker und Wassergeburten; anstelle der klassischen Bettgeburt auf dem schmalen Bett trat die Geburt auf dem Breitbett. Am Beispiel der Frauenklinik des Kantonsspitals Frauenfeld wird gezeigt, wie diese alternative Geburtsmedizin eingeführt wurde und sich in die Geburtsmedizin integrieren ließ. Ziel der Frauenfelder Geburtshilfe ist es, persönliche Anliegen und Wünsche der Gebärenden mit der klassischen Geburtsmedizin zu kombinieren. An Hand einer Qualitätsanalyse respektive einer prospektiven Beobachtungsstudie, welche seit 1991 durchgeführt wird, konnte gezeigt werden, dass alternative Gebärmethoden für Mutter und Kind genauso sicher sind wie die Bettgeburt. Die alternative Geburtsmedizin ist verantwortlich dafür, dass neben dem Aspekt der Sicherheit für Mutter und Kind auch dem Aspekt, dass die Geburt ein unvergessliches und schönes Erlebnis für die Gebärenden ist, Beachtung geschenkt wird – letzteres zum Vorteil der Frauen. Alternative Gebärmethoden haben sich etabliert respektive sind sehr beliebt, weil sie es geschafft haben, Sicherheit für Mutter und Kind durch einen hohen technischen Standard mit menschlichen und atmosphärischen Seiten der Geburtshilfe zu kombinieren.

Abstract:

An understanding of autonomy has important significance in North American health care. Although a respect for autonomy is necessary to protect the self-determination and agency of birthing women in hospital settings, I suggest that enactments of autonomy that are independent of relationships offer only an incomplete interpretation of such a vital concept. In this article I explore an understanding of autonomy situated within the context of a relational birthing narrative. In so doing, autonomy becomes conceptualized as contextual and concrete, giving rise to an embodied view of the birthing woman.

Abstract:

Background: Infectious syphilis rates have been increasing in Winnipeg, Manitoba among individuals during their childbearing years. Untreated or inadequately treated prenatal infection often results in congenital syphilis, with devastating consequences to fetal health and survival. The objective of this study was to review public health surveillance data regarding congenital syphilis incidence and birthing parent risk factors in Winnipeg from 2018 to 2020. Methods: Data extracted from a population-based surveillance database maintained by the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority Public Health investigations for all 2018–2020 probable or confirmed cases of early congenital syphilis or syphilitic stillbirth were reviewed. Rates of congenital syphilis were calculated per 1,000 live births. Descriptive analyses were performed to describe birthing parent age, neighbourhood of residence, intravenous substance use, Child and Family Services involvement, access to prenatal care and obtainment of adequate prenatal treatment. Results: There were eight cases of confirmed/probable congenital syphilis in 2018, 22 cases in 2019 and 30 cases in 2020. Average birthing parent age was 26.5–27.0 years. The majority (66.7%) of birthing parents lived in inner city neighbourhoods with known infectious syphilis outbreaks. Over 50% of birthing parents did not receive any prenatal care, or the care received consisted of inadequate treatment or follow-up. Reinfection among birthing parents who did receive prenatal care was suspected in an additional 23.3% of cases. Conclusion: Congenital syphilis rates in Winnipeg have increased dramatically. Public health and healthcare provider efforts to address the needs of the community are vital for promoting access to safe and effective prenatal care.

Abstract:

The “home versus hospital” as places of birth debate has had a long and at times vicious history. From academic literature to media coverage, the two have often been pitted against each other not only as opposing physical spaces, but also as opposing ideologies of birth. The hospital has been heavily critiqued as a site of childbirth since the 1960s, with particular focus on childbirth and medicalisation. The focus of much of the hospital and home birthing research exists on a continuum of medicalisation, safety, risk, agency, and maternal and neonatal health and wellbeing. While the hospital birthing space has been interrogated, a critique of home birthing space has remained largely absent from the social sciences. The research presented in this article unpacks the complex relationship between home birthing women and the spaces in which they birth. Using qualitative data collected with 59 home birthing women in Australia in 2010, between childbearing and the home should not be considered as merely an alternative to hospital births, but rather as an experience that completely renegotiates the home space. Home, for the participants in this study, is a dynamic, changing, and even spiritual element in the childbirth experience, and not simply the building in which it occurs.
