As national conception rates for girls under 18 fall, three councils' successful approaches are outlined
This text presents facts and figures about the incidence of teenage pregnancies throughout Europe together with current research based information on this subject. Bill Gillham looks at the accompanying problems of stress and emotional, financial and quality of life problems which in turn may lead to abuse and neglect of the child. He analyzes these areas and asserts that teenage pregnancies, with effective support and care, need not be such a problem

SummaryThis article discusses the conflicting positions on the effectiveness of sex education and availability of birth control facilities in lowering the rate of teenage pregnancies. It provides evidence of a drop in the rate of teenage births only one-third of which can be accounted for by the rise in abortions. It concludes that teenagers must have been using birth control more effectively than in the early 1970s.
In 2018, 49% of all pregnancies in the United States were unintended, with women with a lower- income status being five times more likely to experience an unplanned pregnancy. Tennessee has a high rate of unintended pregnancies, particularly among the uninsured, low-income, and rural teen populations; some 22% of these unintended pregnancies end in abortion. Oral or transdermal contraceptives that are affordable and accessible for women of childbearing age can reduce unintentional pregnancies. The addressed gap in clinical practice was that contraceptives are not currently available over the counter in Tennessee pharmacies without a prescription, which necessitates a costly medical visit. The purpose of this study was to document the process of nursing advocacy through a legislative initiative to change health policy to allow for over-the- counter contraception to decrease unintentional pregnancies and abortions in Tennessee. This case study used political process theory to describe the process of assembling a coalition and working with state legislators to implement a change in health policy that affects individuals, populations, and society. The case study findings were designed to inform nurses and other health professionals about advocacy and the health policy process, including the political realities of change in a conservative, antiabortion state.

AbstractA retrospective longitudinal study was performed to quantify foetal growth velocities in twin pregnancies and to determine the effect of variables specific to twin pregnancies on growth velocity. Foetal growth velocity standard deviation (Z) scores were calculated from serial ultrasound data using published singleton reference data for 131 consecutive sets of twins from 30 to 37 weeks' gestation. Compared with low-risk pregnancies, the twin foetal abdominal area growth velocity Z scores were significantly reduced from 30 to 37 weeks and biparietal diameter growth velocity Z scores were also significantly lower, from 30 to 33 weeks. Amongst the twin pairs there were no significant differences in Z scores with respect to chorionicity, foetal sex, birth order to whether delivery was premature or term. This retrospective study has demonstrated that twin foetal growth velocity is reduced when compared to singletons from at least as early as 30 weeks' gestation. Twin specific variables such as chorionicity, sex, birth order and subsequent premature birth do not need to be accounted for in the interpretation of growth velocities in twins. The clinical importance of determining foetal growth velocity in twin pregnancies awaits further prospective study.

AbstractMultiple pregnancy represents a challenge for obstetrics and also poses significant psychological, social and economic problems. The chances of a successful outcome may be improved by appropriate preventive, diagnostic and management strategies, by the availability of specific skills and experience and by a multidisciplinary approach. In this paper are indicated and discussed, on the basis of current evidences, what can be considered the ten "commandments" in terms of providing optimal care in multiple pregnancies. In particular in this review we focus on the following topics: psychological support and clinical counseling; diagnosis and characterization of chorionicity; management at referral centers; individualization of care; avoidance of most frequent complications; consideration of specific pathologies; evaluation of fetal anatomy; monitoring of fetuses; planning of time and mode of delivery; monitoring of the mother during postpartum.
