Objectives: To determine the effect of self-evaluation of foetal movement and position tracking on prenatal attachment and distress.
Methods: The study was a randomised controlled study . The study included women who came to the Kahramanmaraş Maternity and Children's Hospital for prenatal examination. The data were collected using a questionnaire form, the prenatal attachment inventory (PAI), and the Tilburg pregnancy distress scale (TPDS). The pregnant women in the intervention group were trained to count the foetal movements and track the position of the foetus. Data were evaluated using paired samples -test, independent samples -test, chi-square test, Pearson correlation analysis, and linear regression analysis. This trial was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov under the process NCT05313113.
Results: Although the mean PAI pre-test scores were similar in the intervention and control groups (t = -0.811; = 0.420), a significant difference was observed in the mean post-test scores between the two groups (t = 6.404; < 0.001). The mean TPDS pre-test scores were similar in both groups (t = 0.933; = 0.453), but a significant difference was observed in the mean post-test scores (t = -3.345; < 0.001).
Conclusion: Thus, self-evaluation of foetal movement and foetal position tracking increased the prenatal attachment.

Although mother-to-infant attachment begins during pregnancy, few studies have explored correlates of prenatal attachment and associations with later measures of attachment representations. This study explored whether prenatal attachment is related to attachment representations during toddlerhood and whether associations between them reflect the broader quality of mothers' relationships. Young, ethnically/racially diverse, low-income American women (n = 160) were followed from pregnancy through 30 months postpartum.

Objective: This study aimed to identify risk factors for peripartum hysterectomy among pregnancies complicated by suspected Placenta Accreta Spectrum (PAS) in preoperative obstetric imaging screening.
Methods: Data were retrospectively extracted from the Longitudinal Placenta Accreta Spectrum Study (LoPASS), covering pregnancies with PAS from January 2018 to March 2023 at our institute. Patients were divided into Control and Hysterectomy groups based on whether they underwent hysterectomy.
Prenatal couple relationship satisfaction, romantic attachment, and childbirth-related posttraumatic stress symptoms.

Background: Traumatic childbirth can lead to childbirth-related posttraumatic stress symptoms (CB-PTSS). Although underexplored, prenatal couple relationship satisfaction and romantic attachment orientations are modifiable factors that may increase or mitigate the risk of CB-PTSS after a traumatic childbirth experience.
Objectives: This study examined (1) the associations between prenatal couple relationship satisfaction and romantic attachment, traumatic childbirth and CB-PTSS; (2) whether prenatal couple relationship satisfaction moderates the association between traumatic childbirth and CB-PTSS; and (3) whether the interaction between prenatal couple relationship satisfaction and romantic attachment moderates the association between traumatic childbirth and CB-PTSS.

The correct function of the upper limb depends on the cooperation and coordination of the muscular and skeletal systems as well as the connective tissue elements present in it. Connective tissue forms fascia, connective tissue membranes and ligaments. Connective tissue mostly develops from the mesenchyme.
