Kolthoff cautions against broad generalizations. Some of the statistics surrounding the decision to terminate a pregnancy are unsurprising: "The more severe the diagnosis, the more likely the couple is to abort," Kolthoff says. But beyond that, she says, "Almost nothing is intuitive." For example, she says, "Young women - [younger] than 20 years [old] - are less likely to abort.... My guess is that the young population aren't sophisticated enough to realize what they're in for. The issue that I have with genetic testing is that it appears to be done solely to determine if the fetus [is abnormal], and if so, the family will have the opportunity to terminate," says Harmoni Eknes, a Minnesota mother of a child with Down. "My soon-to-be sister-in-law is 12 weeks pregnant [and] when her do...

WARRENDALE, Pa., April 6, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Automotive crashes are the single largest cause of death for pregnant females in the United States, as well as the leading cause of traumatic fetal injury mortality. Each year approximately 160,000 pregnant women are involved in motor vehicle accidents, which lead to the death of 160 women and an additional 865 fetal losses. Unfortunately, up to this point, safety engineers did not have sufficient data on how to prevent injuries and deaths in accidents involving pregnant women. A new book released by SAE International changes that by providing readers with substantial analysis of pregnant occupant biomechanics.
Little is known about factors associated with health care screening of intimate partner violence (IPV) for Latinas during pregnancy. This study builds on current research examining IPV-associated outcomes among Latinas by analyzing 210 pregnant Latina responses to a patient survey. A multivariate logistic regression model examined factors associated with being screened for IPV. One-third of pregnant women reported being screened for IPV. Factors related to being screened for IPV are reported and did not match those associated with having experienced IPV. While most pregnant Latinas were not screened for IPV, having systematic processes in place for IPV screening and fostering good patient-provider communication may facilitate identification of IPV. Having a greater awareness of the risk...
