Hypercoagulable state during pregnancy and puerperium is associated with an increased risk of venous thromboembolic disease. Pulmonary embolism (PE) is the leading cause of maternal death in the developed world. Clinical assessment of PE may be difficult due to nonspecific signs and symptoms, especially in pregnant women. Diagnostic procedures using ionizing radiation may be harmful for the fetus while aggressive anticoagulation may expose the mother to bleeding complications The aim of this paper was to present a case of a 27-year-old pregnant woman with high-risk PE.

Introduction: Optimising the micronutrient status of women before and during reproduction confers benefits to them and their offspring. Antenatal multiple micronutrient supplements (MMS), given as a daily tablet with nutrients at ~1 recommended dietary allowance (RDA) or adequate intake (AI) reduces adverse birth outcomes. However, at this dosage, MMS may not fully address micronutrient deficiencies in settings with chronically inadequate diets and infection.

Maternité Port-Royal, Groupe hospitalier Paris Centre, AP-HP, FHU Prema, 75014 Paris, France; Université Paris Cité, Paris, France; INSERM UMR 1153, Obstetrical, Perinatal and Pediatric Epidemiology Research Team (Epopé), Center for Epidemiology and Statistics, Université de Paris-Cité, Paris, France.
Background: Despite French national recommendations since 2012 that all pregnant women be vaccinated against influenza, in 2021 this vaccine coverage is low - around 30 % - in France.
Objectives: To identify barriers to influenza vaccination during pregnancy by assessing how often women were offered this vaccination and how often they accepted it.
Study Design: We used data from the French national perinatal survey (ENP), which covered all births during one week in March 2021 (N = 12,614).
