"But I'm not a professional" - How women with high-risk pregnancies voice the experiences of home-based telemonitoring; a qualitative interview study.

Objectives: Telemonitoring of high-risk pregnancy complications is a new approach that offers remote obstetric caregiving using mobile and wireless technologies. New evidence shows that home-based obstetric telemonitoring is not only feasible but also a safe alternative to inpatient or frequent outpatient care. As little is known how performing obstetric telemonitoring is perceived, this study examined how women with pregnancy complications experienced performing home-based telemonitoring.

The Feasibility of the Adverse Childhood Experiences Questionnaire among Women in Danish Antenatal Care: A Mixed-Methods Study.

A traumatic upbringing increases the risks of antenatal health problems, unfavourable pregnancy outcomes, and mental disorders. Such childhood experiences may affect women's pa-renting skills and the social-emotional functioning of their children. Research on screening for adverse childhood experiences in antenatal care is limited.

The Feasibility and Acceptability of the Adverse Childhood Experiences Questionnaire in Danish Antenatal Care-A Qualitative Study of Midwives' Implementation Experiences.

Adverse childhood experiences have a potential lifelong impact on health. A traumatic upbringing may increase antenatal health risks in mothers-to-be and impact child development in their offspring. Yet, little is known about the identification of adverse childhood experiences in antenatal care.

Postnatal quietness - the dilemma of visiting hours. A qualitative interview study with maternity care staff.

Background: As part of the Person and Family Centred Care, involvement of relatives is a key concept. This means that an unrestricted visiting policy in hospitals wards is widely accepted and implemented. In maternity care, benefits and drawbacks of unrestricted visiting is still discussed, while it is acknowledged that a quiet environment is important for both new parents and newborns to enhance breastfeeding.

Adherence to recommended physical activity restrictions due to threatened preterm delivery - a descriptive multi-center study.

Background: Threatened preterm delivery is a serious obstetrical complication and has for decades been prescribed physical activity restrictions (AR). Adherence to the recommended level of physical AR is however unknown. This study aimed to assess the objectively measured different physical positions and activities of pregnant women recommended AR due to threatened preterm delivery complications, compared to a reference group of uncomplicated pregnant women without restrictions, and to explore if admission status influenced adherence to AR.

Experiences managing pregnant hospital staff members using an active management policy-A qualitative study.

Background And Objective: During pregnancy, absence from work increases significantly. Job adjustments have been shown to decrease absences; however, studies show only half of pregnant women who need job adjustments receive them. Little is known about the viewpoints of managers and possible challenges in the management of pregnant employees.

Pregnant women's experiences with sick leave caused by low back pain. A qualitative study.

Background: In Scandinavia, women of childbearing age represent nearly 50% of the overall workforce. Two-thirds of these women spend a considerable time on sick leave during their pregnancies. Low back pain accounts for a significant portion of all pregnancy-related sick leave.

Prevalence and predictors of maternal smoking prior to and during pregnancy in a regional Danish population: a cross-sectional study.

Background: Maternal smoking is still a major public health problem posing the risk of several negative health outcomes for both the pregnant woman and her offspring. The prevalence of maternal smoking in Denmark and other high-income countries has decreased continuously since the 1980s, and a prevalence below 10% of women who continue to smoke during pregnancy has been reported in studies after 2010. Previous studies have shown that low socioeconomic status is associated with maternal smoking.

Low back pain intensity among childbearing women and associated predictors. A cohort study.

Background: Low back pain is a common condition among childbearing women, causing physical disability and an increased risk of sick leave and obstetric complications.

Aims: To assess the prevalence and intensity of low back pain during pregnancy, to describe the physical disability and sick leave in relation to the severity of low back pain and to identify predictors of moderate to severe low back pain in socio-demographic, health and obstetric characteristics among childbearing women.

Methods: A cohort study was undertaken (n=566) during August 2015 to March 2016.

The effects of an unsupervised water exercise program on low back pain and sick leave among healthy pregnant women - A randomised controlled trial.

Background: Low back pain is highly prevalent among pregnant women, but evidence of an effective treatment are still lacking. Supervised exercise-either land or water based-has shown benefits for low back pain, but no trial has investigated the evidence of an unsupervised water exercise program on low back pain. We aimed to assess the effect of an unsupervised water exercise program on low back pain intensity and days spent on sick leave among healthy pregnant women.

Fertility awareness and attitudes towards parenthood among Danish university college students.

Background: Postponing parenthood has steadily increased during the past decades in Western countries. This trend has affected the size of families in the direction of fewer children born per couple. In addition, higher maternal age is associated with an increased risk of pregnancy-related complications such as prematurity and foetal death, while higher paternal age increases the risk of miscarriage and affects time-to-pregnancy.

Compliance with national recommendations for exercise during early pregnancy in a Danish cohort.

Background: Exercise during pregnancy is associated with health benefits for both the mother and the fetus, and is therefore recommended in several national guidelines. Only few studies investigate whether these guideline recommendations are met. The aims of this study were 1.

A standardised individual unsupervised water exercise intervention for healthy pregnant women. A qualitative feasibility study.

Introduction: Low back pain during pregnancy is common and associated with sick leave. Studies suggest that exercise may reduce low back pain during pregnancy. Before carrying out a randomised controlled trail with individual water exercise as intervention a qualitative feasibility study was done.

Pregnancy planning and lifestyle prior to conception and during early pregnancy among Danish women.

Unlabelled: OBJECTIVE To investigate the extent to which Danish women attending antenatal care plan their pregnancies and to determine the association between pregnancy planning and the intake of folic acid, alcohol consumption and smoking habits prior to conception and before the 16th week of gestation. METHODS A cross-sectional survey of 258 women.

Main Outcome Measures: intake of folic acid, alcohol consumption and smoking.
