"": An Exploration of Spanish-Speaking Women's Experiences with Pregnancy and Social Isolation in an Urban U.S. Setting.

Research on Spanish-speaking Latina/Hispanic women's experiences during pregnancy is limited. We recruited women from urban, walk-in pregnancy testing clinics from June 2014 to June 2015. Women aged 16-44 years, at less than 24 weeks gestational age, who spoke either English or Spanish were eligible and completed an enrollment questionnaire and individual interview according to language preference.

"When I think of mental healthcare, I think of no care." Mental Health Services as a Vital Component of Prenatal Care for Black Women.

Purpose: Black people give birth joyously despite disproportionate rates of adverse perinatal outcomes. Given that group prenatal care shows promise in mitigating these inequities, we sought to solicit the opinions of Black peripartum women on how group prenatal care could be tailored to fit their specific needs. In this study, we describe attitudes about a proposed Black group prenatal care in a single focus group of 11 Black women who receive maternal health services from Black Infant Health (BIH, a state and federal funded state-wide program for Black pregnant people with the goal to improve infant and maternal health).

Race and ethnicity may not be associated with risk of unintended pregnancy.

Objective: The objective was to use improved measures and methodology to investigate whether race and ethnicity are associated with unintended pregnancy.

Study Design: Cross-sectional study of English- or Spanish-speaking women, aged 16-44, with pregnancies <24weeks' gestation recruited from pregnancy testing and abortion care sites in New Haven, CT, between June 2014 and June 2015. Participants completed self-assessments of race, ethnicity and multidimensional measures of pregnancy "context," including timing, intention, wantedness, desirability, happiness and planning (measured with the London Measure of Unplanned Pregnancy).
