Childbirth and Pregnancy 2016 is the first live streamed online conference discussing current academic research and clinical expertise to ensure a healthy pregnancy. Speakers from around the world will be discussing scientific and clinical aspects of pregnancy related issues and disorders.

The event will cover a wide range of topics including metabolic health in pregnancy, long term effects of pregnancy complications on maternal health and the role of physical activity for a healthy pregnancy. The talks will aim to inform and educate on the many aspects and mysteries of pregnancy and childbirth.

Dr Kelli Ryckman, Assistant Professor of Epidemiology at the University of Iowa College of Public Health, will be discussing the use of biomarkers for gestational age dating. “It’s important to know whether a baby is small because it is simply small in size but born on time or is small because it was born early,” said Dr Ryckman, “It helps determine how doctors should move forward with that baby and what kinds of health issues they should watch for.”

Dr Ryckman is lead author on the study “Predicting gestational age using neonatal metabolic markers,” which was published recently in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology. The study found that a drop of blood routinely used for newborn screenings could be used to give a metabolic profile and create an algorithm that was a reliable method of estimating an infant’s gestational age. Researchers hope their metabolic gestational-dating algorithm can be used in developing countries to actively examine the rates of preterm births and then target at-risk areas with interventions and prevention programmes.

Dr. Christina Louise Lindhardt, from the University of Southern Denmark, will discuss obesity in antenatal care and communication. “Communication from healthcare professionals is of paramount importance to support the woman through pregnancy. Motivational interviewing is focusing on an empathetic, acknowledging communication style, where the women are gently being guided to find their own motivation”

This conference will have a well-rounded approach to the complex topic of pregnancy and childbirth, encompassing different viewpoints ranging from a talk on “Exploring Young Fathers’ Experience of Pregnancy and Birth” to “Reducing smoking among Indigenous, minority and lower socio-economic women;” with opportunities for Question and Answer sessions.


 This international interdisciplinary, event is an open forum for discussion of  scientific and clinical aspects of pregnancy related issues and disorders.
