{"title":"El embarazo no planificado: ¿Qué debo hacer?","authors":"","doi":"10.1111/jmwh.13678","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1111/jmwh.13678","url":null,"abstract":"<p>Si ha quedado embarazada pero no planeaba estarlo, será necesario decidir si desea continuar con el embarazo. Recuerde que no está sola, esto es una situación común ya que en los Estados Unidos aproximadamente la mitad de las personas que quedan embarazadas no planeaban estarlo. Si piensa que está embarazada, es importante consultar a un proveedor de atención médica para verificar si esto es el caso.</p><p>Cuando uno descubre que está embarazada, es normal estar emocional e incluso tener sentimientos encontrados. Es posible que se sienta asustada, enojada, feliz o emocionada. Lo primero será decidir si quiere seguir embarazada, o si prefiere interrumpir el embarazo. Si decide continuar con el embarazo, deberá decidir si va a querer criar al niño o si prefiere un plan de adopción. Si decide interrumpir el embarazo, es posible que necesite elegir qué tipo de aborto se realizará. Estas decisiones son importantes y sólo usted puede hacerlas. Es probable que querrá saber todo lo posible acerca de sus opciones antes de llegar a una decisión.</p><p>La crianza de los hijos es una gran responsabilidad, y ser madre tiene sus momentos felices y también difíciles. Los niños necesitan mucha atención y cuidado. Si decide criar a este bebé, será responsable de la vida de su hijo en todos los sentidos y su vida tendrá que cambiar de muchas maneras.</p><p>La adopción es un acuerdo legal entre usted y otra(s) persona(s) las cuales se convertirán en los padres legales de su bebé. Las personas quienes eligen un plan de adopción para su hijo(a) a menudo lo hacen porque sienten que otro hogar podrá brindarle más a su bebé de lo que ellas mismas podrían. Si usted decide por un plan de adopción, podrá elegir cuánto contacto desea tener con su hijo después de la adopción (desde ningún contacto hasta contacto regular). Una agencia de adopción o un abogado (o ambos) le brindaran apoyo pare encontrar un hogar para su bebé. Es muy importante que un profesional en el ámbito de adopción asesore su situación y le brinde consejo antes de que usted tome una decisión permanente.</p><p>Hay 2 tipos de aborto. En la etapa temprana del embarazo, es posible tomar medicamentos de receta los cuales consiguen que el cuerpo elimine el embarazo. Este proceso es algo similar a un aborto espontáneo. Otra opción es que un proveedor médico evacue el tejido del embarazo (aborto quirúrgico). A este procedimiento también se le conoce como “aspiración”, “legrado”, o “dilatación y evacuación”. En los primeros meses de embarazo el aborto quirúrgico es simple y se puede realizar en una clínica o consultorio médico. Si el embarazo va más adelantado, el aborto quirúrgico debe realizarse en un hospital o clínica. Dependiendo en el estado en el cual uno viva, el acceso al aborto puede estar muy restringido o, incluso, prohibido. Quizás tendrá que viajar a otro estado para recibir un aborto. Si es menor de edad (18 años) y no puede decirle a sus padres que quiere un aborto, es posible que pueda conversa","PeriodicalId":16468,"journal":{"name":"Journal of midwifery & women's health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jmwh.13678","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142435297","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We assessed the tool with attention to birth history and body mass index (BMI) in a predominately Hispanic cohort and examined the possible effect of discouraging labor after cesarean (LAC) with a low score.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective cohort study of LACs by patients who entered spontaneous or induced labor with a live, nonanomalous fetus in cephalic presentation between 2012 and 2022. Observed VBAC rates were compared with the mean predicted VBAC probability derived from the calculator. Areas under the curve (AUCs) were calculated for the entire cohort and for individuals with LAC with and without prior vaginal birth. A z‐test was used to determine the significance between VBAC rates in 4 BMI categories. The impact of discouraging LAC with VBAC probability below 70% was examined.ResultsA total of 400 people experienced 507 LACs, with 417 (82.2%) resulting in VBAC compared with a mean predicted probability of 71.2%. The AUC for all LACs was 0.76 (95% CI, 0.71‐0.81), whereas the AUC for LACs with prior vaginal birth was 0.70 (95% CI, 0.56‐0.85) and without was 0.60 (95% CI, 0.52‐0.67).

However, the impact of obesity on childbirth expectations remains underexplored. We aim to assess childbirth expectations in women living with obesity to enhance perinatal care tailored to their specific needs.MethodsUsing an adapted version of the Childbirth Expectation Questionnaire (CEQ) in a nationwide online survey, we assessed expectations on childbirth of pregnant women living in Switzerland. We performed one‐way analysis of variance and independent <jats:italic>t</jats:italic> tests to analyze associations between childbirth expectations and women's characteristics such as body mass index (BMI). Binomial logistic regressions estimated the likelihood of positive birth expectations occurring based on individual and contextual factors.ResultsIn total, 961 pregnant women responded to the CEQ through social media. Increased BMI was associated with lower mean scores in overall birth expectations (<jats:italic>P</jats:italic> = .008), whereas women accompanied by midwives during pregnancy showed significantly increased mean scores (<jats:italic>P</jats:italic> &lt; .001). Regression analysis revealed that women living with obesity were less likely to have positive expectations for their upcoming childbirth when compared with others (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 0.63; 95% CI, 0.42‐0.95; <jats:italic>P</jats:italic> = .027). Conversely, midwifery care and plans for nonclinical births were associated with increased positive childbirth expectations (aOR, 3.65; 95% CI, 2.11‐6.32; <jats:italic>P</jats:italic> &lt; .001 and aOR, 4.77; 95% CI, 3.37‐6.74; <jats:italic>P</jats:italic> &lt; .001, respectively).DiscussionWomen living with obesity exhibited significantly lower childbirth expectations compared with other women, impacting birth outcomes and satisfaction. Midwife involvement correlated with more positive expectations, emphasizing their role in improving women's realistic expectations and fostering well‐being. Enhanced accessibility to models of care with midwifery continuity may be a crucial factor in promoting positive expectations among women living with obesity.","PeriodicalId":16468,"journal":{"name":"Journal of midwifery & women's health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142207354","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
