Background: The COVID-19 pandemic strained the provision of sexual and reproductive health services, including family planning, which were categorized as non-essential services at the peak of COVID-19 infection control in Kenya. We set out to assess the effect of COVID-19 on fertility management practices among Kenyan women in two cities to inform mitigation measures in future similar disruptions.
Methods: This was a qualitative study to describe the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on women's fertility management practices from 61 in-depth interviews (IDIs) with women aged 15-45 years residing in Nairobi and Kisumu, Kenya, between February and May 2021.

Secondary mitral regurgitation (MR) associated with left ventricular dysfunction carries a high risk of acute heart failure during pregnancy because of associated hemodynamic changes. Mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) is currently recommended for symptomatic patients with secondary MR; however, no evidence exists on the use of this therapy in pregnancy. We present a case of secondary MR in a pregnant woman with dilated cardiomyopathy.
