Fantastic course by @asumultrasound taught by @Fabricio_QLD and @RolnikDaniel on Doppler ultrasound in obstetric care. The live scan demonstration was especially useful!

Thank you to @SamsungAU and ParagonCare, and the incredible mums who made this event possible. 🙏🏽

Just published - new study on uptake of #Quitline telephone counselling services in Australia among women who smoke during #pregnancy. Led by @CherylBaileyRM at @CREStillbirth. Current referral model appears suboptimal & better data are needed.

[Andrew H Shennan OBE @OBSevidence]

A 30-50% increase in Mental Disorders Among Offspring Prenatally Exposed to Systemic Glucocorticoids. (At 15 y.o.). Big study, long follow up. Only give antenatal steroids when needed. Not just in case. https://t.co/4Db0YP1FDA

[Dr Aleena Wojcieszek @aleenawoj]

🆕When calculating gestational-age-specific #stillbirth rates, the fetus-at-risk (FAR) or continuity corrected fetus-at-risk (ccFAR) approaches provide the most accurate representation of risk across pregnancy & better enable clinicians to act on risk
