Objective: The aim of this study was to compare pregnant women's perceptions of risk and pregnancy-specific stress levels.
Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted with 410 healthy pregnant women at the city hospital located in the east of Turkey. Data were collected via Personal Information Form, Perception of Pregnancy Risk Questionnaire, and Pregnancy Stress Rating Scale.
Results: The pregnancy risk perception mean score was 2.43±1.82, and the pregnancy-specific stress mean score was 22.27±12.67. There is a statistically significant and strong positive correlation between the perception of pregnancy risk and pregnancy-specific stress level (p<0.01). Pregnant women's pregnancy risk perception decreased as the duration of marriage and the number of living children increased, and it increased as the gestational week increased (p<0.05). Pregnancy-specific stress decreased as the duration of marriage (p<0.001), the age of the spouse, the number of pregnancies, and the number of living children increased (p<0.01), and it increased as the gestational week increased (p<0.01).
Conclusion: The pregnant women's perceptions of pregnancy risks and pregnancy-specific stress were low, but pregnancy-specific stresses increased as their perceptions of pregnancy risks increased.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of administering flunixin meglumine (FM) and meloxicam (M) on specific days post-mating on progesterone (P4), total oxidant status (TOS), total antioxidant status (TAS), oxidative stress index (OSI), pregnancy-specific protein B (PSPB), pregnancy-associated glycoprotein (PAG) concentrations and fertility parameters in Awassi sheep.
Methods: Seventy-five Awassi sheep were divided into three groups of 25: control, M and FM. On days 9 and 10 post-mating, the control group received saline, the M group received 0.

Pre-eclampsia (PE) is classified as pregnancy-specific hypertensive disease and responsible for severe fetal and maternal morbidity and mortality, which influenced an approximate 3 ∼ 8 % of all pregnancies in both developed and developing countries. However, the exact pathological mechanism underlying PE has not been elucidated and it is urgent to find innovate pharmacotherapeutic agents for PE. Recent studies have reported that a crucial part of the etiology of PE is played by placental oxidative stress.

Insulin is preferred as the first-line agent for glucose management of gestational diabetes mellitus and type 2 diabetes in pregnancy when nutritional and lifestyle modifications are unable to achieve pregnancy-specific glucose targets. Individual heterogeneity in defects of insulin secretion or sensitivity in liver and muscle, unique genetic influences on pregnancy glycemic regulation, and variable cultural and lifestyle behaviors that affect meal, activity, sleep, and occupational schedules necessitate a personalized approach to insulin regimens. Newer insulin preparations have been developed to mimic the physiologic release of endogenous insulin, maintaining appropriate basal levels to cover hepatic gluconeogenesis and simulate the rapid, meal-related, bolus rise of insulin.

Preeclampsia (PE) is a pregnancy-specific disorder and a major contributor to maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Role of oxidative stress in early pregnancy with the pathophysiology of the disorder is unclear. The current study aims to analyse maternal levels of oxidative stress markers (MDA and protein carbonyl) longitudinally across gestation and placental levels of oxidative stress markers (MDA, protein carbonyl and 8-oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine) in women with PE and compare them with non-PE women.
