“…This study showed that urinary tract infection reported during pregnancy was strongly associated with vaginal discharge, a finding that is corroborated by other studies [17, 18]. There is growing evidence supporting that genital infections during pregnancy increase the risk of urinary tract infection, which is a major risk factor for premature birth and a leading cause of neonatal death [24, 26].…”

This study aimed to assess the prevalence of pathological vaginal discharge and to describe risk factors associated with pregnant women. All women living in the city of Rio Grande, Southern Brazil, who gave birth in 2010 were included in the study. A standardized questionnaire was administered to collect information on demographic, reproductive, and health-related factors and morbidity during pregnancy. The chi-square test was used to compare proportions, and multivariate Poisson regression with robust variance was performed. Of the 2,395 women studied, 43% had pathological vaginal discharge during pregnancy. The adjusted analysis showed that younger women of lower socioeconomic condition, those with a past history of abortion, vaginal discharge in a previous pregnancy, and treated for depression, anemia, and urinary tract infection during their current pregnancy, were more likely to have pathological vaginal discharge. Vaginal discharge during pregnancy was highly prevalent in the sample studied calling for proper risk factor management at the primary care level.

Introduction: Normal vaginal discharge during pregnancy is called leukorrhea and is thin, white, milky and mild smelling. Pathological vaginal discharge in pregnant females can cause serious illness to pregnant female and her newborn baby. Aims and objective: To determine the prevalence, pattern and risk factors associated with clinicopathological discharge and its complications. Materials and Methods: This Prospective study was done over a period of 6 months from September 2019 to February 2020 on 100 pregnant females with vaginal discharge attending OPD in department of obstetrics and gynaecology, Nalanda Medical college and Hospital, Patna, Bihar. Result: 100 pregnant females attending antenatal clinic with vaginal discharge were included in this study. Out of 100 pregnant females, 60(60%) were primigravida while 40(40%) were multigravida. 80(80%) of females were asymptomatic while 20(20%) were symptomatic. Out of 20(20%) Symptomatic females, 16(80%) were having vaginal candidiasis while, 4(20%) had Bacterial vaginosis. Among 20(20%) symptomatic patients, 5(25%) developed Threatened Preterm, 4(20%) developed Premature Rupture of Membrane (PROM), 1(5%) Preterm delivery, while 10(50%) shows no complications during pregnancy and its outcome. Conclusion: This Prospective study concludes that timely detection and intervention can prevent complications like threatened preterm, PROM, prematurity among symptomatic pregnant females.

“…More details of the study's methodology can be found in another publication. 1 The information was collected through a pre-coded questionnaire composed of information regarding the family's place of residence, demographic characteristics, occupation, mother's reproductive history and life habits; socioeconomic level, ownership of house appliances, the family's housing and sanitation conditions and characteristics of the father's job; assistance received during pregnancy and delivery, access and utilization of preventive and curative health services. In addition, a physical examination was performed on the child; the birth weight was written down based on the nursing record book, and the nurses had used a digital pediatric scale with 10 g precision.…”

OBJECTIVE:To analyze factors associated with the practice of physical activity during pregnancy and its relationship to maternal and child health indicators. METHODS:Cross-sectional study carried out with all births that occurred at maternity hospitals in the municipality of Rio Grande (Southern Brazil) during the year of 2007 (N = 2,557). Information was collected through interviews, by means of a pre-coded questionnaire administered to the mothers. The analyzed maternal and child health outcomes were: hospitalization during pregnancy, cesarean delivery, preterm birth (gestational age < 37 weeks), low birth weight (< 2500g), and fetal death. RESULTS:A total of 32.8% of mothers (95%CI 31.0;34.6) reported having practiced physical activity during pregnancy. The factors associated with practice of physical activity during pregnancy, after adjusting for potential confounders, were: maternal age (inverse association), level of schooling (direct association), mother's fi rst pregnancy, having received prenatal care, and having been instructed in physical activity during prenatal care. Women who practiced physical activity during pregnancy were less likely to deliver surgically and to have a stillbirth. There was no association between physical activity and preterm birth, hospitalization, and low birth weight. CONCLUSIONS:Only one third of mothers reported having practiced physical activity during pregnancy. This behavior was more frequent among younger women with higher level of schooling who were advised during prenatal care. Women who practiced physical activity during pregnancy had fewer cesarean sections and lower occurrence of stillbirths. DESCRIPTORS: Pregnant Women. Motor Activity. Exercise. Sports.
