The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on perinatal services and maternal mental health in the UK.

Background: COVID-19 has created many challenges for women in the perinatal phase. This stems from prolonged periods of lockdowns, restricted support networks and media panic, alongside altered healthcare provision.

Aims: We aimed to review the evidence regarding the psychological impact on new and expecting mothers following changes to antenatal and postnatal service provision within the UK throughout the pandemic.

Prognostic factors for post-traumatic stress, anxiety and depression in women after early pregnancy loss: a multi-centre prospective cohort study.

Objectives: To investigate prognostic factors for anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress (PTS) symptoms 1 month after early pregnancy loss (EPL).

Design: A prospective cohort study. Consecutive women were recruited, and demographic and clinical data were collected.

Uterine Transplantation Using Living Donation: A Cross-sectional Study Assessing Perceptions, Acceptability, and Suitability.

Unlabelled: A uterine transplantation is a nonvital, quality-of-life-enhancing solid organ transplant. Given improvements in donor risk profile and the anticipated shortage of suitable deceased donors, nondirected donation could facilitate sustainability as uterine transplantation moves from research into the clinical realm. The aim of this article is to determine perceptions and identify motivations of potential nondirected living uterus donors and assess acceptability and suitability.

Pre-implantation genetic testing for aneuploidy: motivations, concerns, and perceptions in a UK population.

Purpose: Pre-implantation genetic testing for aneuploidies (PGT-A) is a technique used as part of in vitro fertilisation to improve outcomes. Despite the upward trend in women utilising PGT-A, data on women's motivations and concerns toward using the technology, and perceptions having undergone the process, remain scarce.

Methods: This cross-sectional survey, based at a fertility clinic in the UK, utilised an electronic questionnaire to assess the motivations of women who undergo PGT-A and their perceptions and attitudes toward PGT-A after using it.

Uterine Transplantation: Review of Livebirths and Reproductive Implications.

Uterine transplantation (UTx) is a fertility restoring treatment for women with absolute uterine factor infertility. At a time when there is no question of the procedure's feasibility, and as the number of livebirths begins to increase exponentially, various important reproductive, fetal, and maternal medicine implications have emerged. Detailed outcomes from 17 livebirths following UTx are now available, which are reviewed herein, along with contextualized extrapolation from pregnancy outcomes in other solid organ transplants.
