Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the connection between the age of menarche (first menstrual period) and the risk of developing gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) among pregnant women in Turkey.
- It found that women with menarche before age 12 have a 2.3 times higher risk of GDM, and those with a pre-pregnancy BMI over 25 kg/m² face about twice the risk.
- The findings suggest that age at menarche, cycle duration, and BMI are significant risk factors for GDM, highlighting the need for better evaluation of menstrual history by healthcare professionals to inform future pregnancy care.
We conducted a randomized controlled study of the effects of a hot shower on pain, anxiety, and comfort during the first stage of labor. Our sample included 104 primigravidas. There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of duration of labor, yet the transition phase time of the experimental group was lower compared to the control group.
