Drug use in pregnancy in Ireland's capital city: A decade of trends and outcomes.

Objective: The aim of this study was to present contemporary trends in opiate use disorder (OUD) and substance use in pregnancy in Ireland, with associated obstetric outcomes, over the last ten years.

Study Design: This retrospective observational cohort study was conducted at an Irish tertiary maternity unit. All women with OUD or substance use in pregnancy delivered under this service between 2010 and 2019 were included.

The pregnancy experience: a mixed methods analysis of women's understanding of the antenatal journey.

Background: Positive contact with antenatal care and its providers improves positive outcomes for women and their babies. This involves the accrual and use of knowledge accumulated through education, experiential learning and other fora and is reliant on a positive experience.

Aims: Women's knowledge of antenatal and postnatal care was examined, in addition to the positive and negative feelings and experiences they associate with it.
