Maternal perception of fetal movements: onset and associated factors.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the onset of fetal movements' perception and to identify parameters that affect this timing.

Methods: This was a prospective cohort study including singleton pregnancies that attended routine prenatal care, in a tertiary care center, in northern Greece, between January 2020 and July 2021. We collected data on medical and obstetric history, and invited women to record the time that they perceived the fetal movements for the first time, that being the primary outcome of the study.

Depression in pregnant women hospitalized due to intrauterine growth restriction: Prevalence and associated factors.

Objective: Pregnancies complicated with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) may require hospitalization in a high-risk pregnancy unit (HRPU). A complicated pregnancy and hospital admission may negatively affect the pregnant woman's mental health. Several factors have been identified as possible risk factors for depression, which is proven to lead to several adverse perinatal outcomes.

Prenatal diagnosis of 1p34.3 interstitial microdeletion by aCGH in a fetus with jaw bone abnormalities.

Background: Interstitial microdeletions in 1p are extremely rare, as very few cases have been reported postnatally and only one prenatally, yet. There is a variability of phenotypic findings such as hypotonia, facial dysmorphisms, mild microcephaly, with being most common developmental delay.

Case Presentation: The present case involved a female fetus with an interstitial deletion on 1p, presenting with micrognathia in the 2nd trimester routine ultrasound examination.
