A record number of immigrants, many Arabic speaking, arrived in Sweden during the years 2015/2016. Immigrant women have a higher risk of pregnancy complications than native European women and cultural and communicative problems have been identified as a cause of such disparities. Maternity services are under pressure because of language and cultural barriers. Language translation programmes are sometimes used but these are not evidence-based so are not considered safe for use in maternity care. The aim of this research was to create an evidence-based app for communication with Arabic-speaking women in maternity care. User-centred iterative design was used to develop an evidence-based, fit-for-purpose app. Data were collected from midwives in a focus group interview, field observations and workshops. The iterative approach resulted in an evidence-based prototype that is currently being tested in the field.

Introduction: Prenatal nicotine exposure (PNE) from maternal smoking disrupts regulatory processes vital to fetal development. These changes result in long-term behavioral impairments, including mood and anxiety disorders, that manifest later in life. However, the relationship underlying PNE, and the underpinnings of mood and anxiety molecular and transcriptomic phenotypes remains elusive.

Globally, obesity prevalence has progressively increased and is now at epidemic levels; this trend is mirrored in women of childbearing age. There is a high level of evidence that maternal obesity is associated with a range of adverse pregnancy complications and neonatal outcomes, such as hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), large for gestational age (LGA) fetuses, premature birth, stillbirth, cesarean section, and postpartum hemorrhage, among certain others. This systematic review aimed to comprehensively evaluate the relationship between maternal obesity and health outcomes for both mothers and infants.
