Delighted to see our work in European Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology and Reproductive Biology.
"To screen or not to screen for asymptomatic bacteriruria in pregnancy" conducted in @nmh and @RotundaHospital with @RachelMicro, @meogan, Dr Susan Knowles and Prof Richard Drew.
This is the maternity hospital in Szeged, Hungary. There’s a baby deposit box outside, where women in crisis can safely surrender their newborn 🥺 I wonder how often it gets used…
#MedTwitter, a family member who’s pregnant and has Covid was advised to take Quercetin by her maternity hospital… is this a thing?! I’ve never even heard of it before 🫣 And my quick google of it doesn’t advise in pregnancy due to lack of safety data 🤔
Unfortunately we’re still stuck in the dark ages in Waterford with our pregnant women fasting from midnight for section. Great to hear that evidence is moving towards #SipsTilSection@SipTilSend, especially when there can be delays throughout the day
🔐Unrestricted drinking before surgery: an iterative quality improvement study.
"We would like to draw attention to the obstetric population because it presents a unique challenge, as consideration must be given to both mother and baby."

@CiaraNiamhLevey @DonnellyStephen @HyperemesisIE@naomibsf So true - it’s the first line management in our clinical guidelines. And GPs are usually the first point of contact for pregnant women in the first trimester. Makes no sense that they’d have to present to the emergency department just to be prescribed a medication 🤦🏻♀️
This is completely ridiculous. Peak incidence of #hyperemesis is 9 weeks gestation so women dont usually have a “treating obstetrician” at that stage. This initiative will drive women into the emergency departments, why not GP? @DonnellyStephen @HyperemesisIE
