However, the advancement of technology has led to increased medicalization of childbirth. Midwives play a pivotal role in promoting normal birth, and positive outcomes are seen in births led by a midwife. The purpose of the study is to gain a deeper understanding of midwives’ experiences of facilitating normal birth in midwifery-led units. METHODS The study has a qualitative design. It was conducted in 2022 and included semi- structured interviews with seven midwives throughout Norway. They were all currently working, or had previously worked, in a midwifery-led unit. The data material was analyzed using systematic text condensation. RESULTS The data analysis resulted in three result categories. The first category concerned the importance of relationships, continuity and a safe atmosphere. The second concerned being a midwife in the hand, in the heart, and in the mind. The third related to having confidence in the physiological process of childbirth, midwifery autonomy, and a common ideology. CONCLUSIONS The study highlights several elements that may help to promote normal birth in midwifery units. Relationships, midwifery skills, confidence in normal birth and a supportive collegial environment that fosters midwife autonomy, are prominent factors. These elements were viewed by the midwives as key to their ability to promote normal birth in a midwifery-led unit.","PeriodicalId":32920,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Midwifery","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138584347","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The primary objective was to determine the prevalence of neonatal hypoglycemia in large-for-gestational-age newborns. The secondary objective was to determine a threshold percentile of birth weight for optimal screening for hypoglycemia. METHODS We performed a descriptive, cross-sectional, single-center study, based on a structured review of obstetrical records from 11 January 2017 to 21 January 2020, from the maternity department of the University Hospital of Grenoble. Eligible neonates were large-for-gestational-age (birth weight >90th percentile) at term (37–42 weeks) without other risk factors for hypoglycemia. The primary outcome was the prevalence of neonates with capillary or venous glucose levels <2.2 mmol/L in the first 48 hours of life. We performed a sensitivity and specificity analysis of the birth weight percentile as a determinant of the threshold for hypoglycemia detection (ROC curve, area under the curve, Youden index, Brier score, Hosmer-Lemeshow test). RESULTS In all, 19.2% of the newborns presented at least one hypoglycemic episode during the first 48 hours of life, and 75.7% of the hypoglycemic episodes occurred at 1 hour of life. The cut-off percentile that seemed most appropriate for screening was determined to be the 97th percentile of birth weight (AUC=0.64; 95% CI: 0.52–0.75). CONCLUSIONS Our statistical model is robust and allows us to state that the currently used birth weight percentile threshold can be revised upwards. Thus, the protocol for neonatal hypoglycemia screening can be updated to improve the comfort of newborns at risk of hypoglycemia.","PeriodicalId":32920,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Midwifery","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138589590","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, breastfeeding rates are lower after cesarean section. Thus, concern has been raised that early discharge among these women may affect breastfeeding even further. Therefore, we aimed to assess the effect of early discharge the day after planned cesarean section on breastfeeding, among parous women when a home-visit by a midwife was provided the day after discharge. METHODS We conducted a secondary analysis of a randomized trial. Parous women (n=143) planned for cesarean section were allocated to either discharge within 28 hours after planned cesarean section followed by a home visit the day after (early discharge) or discharge at least 48 hours after planned cesarean section (standard care). The participants filled in questionnaires approximately 2 weeks before delivery and 1 week, 4 weeks, and 6 months postpartum. RESULTS The proportions of women initiating breastfeeding were 84% versus 87% (early discharge vs standard care). After 6 months, 23% versus 21% were exclusively breastfeeding, while 29% versus 42% were partially breastfeeding. The mean duration of exclusive breastfeeding was 3.4 months (SD=2.3) in both groups. None of these differences was statistically significant. In both groups, the women’s breastfeeding self-efficacy score before cesarean section correlated with the duration of breastfeeding.
