Excited to be part of this amazing pilot project aimed at making accurate risk prediction for threatened preterm labour accessible to all pregnant women across the UK! #pretermbirth
A big thank you to the 4⃣2⃣ pregnant volunteers who helped us run the second session of a new training programme for doctors to better predict and prevent preterm birth with @OUHospitals.
One volunteer told us: “So happy I took part in this.”

🧵1/4 Doctors @OUHospitals are better prepared to identify those at increased risk of PTB following a cervical length scan pilot basic training day with 46 pregnant volunteers
We are about to open the ABOVE trial @uclh@UCL_IfWH to find out which type of cerclage (stitch) in the cervix is better at preventing recurrent preterm birth in women who have had a previous caesarean section in labour @tommys@OBSevidence Please RT

New study @UCLH@UCLHresearch Preterm Birth clinic shows 3D advanced labour stage Caesarean Birth (CB) scar sonographic features are highly reproducible in pregnancy. This validated protocol supports research on the link between CB scars & #pretermbirth

275 women died in the UK during pregnancy or up to six weeks after the end of pregnancy in 2020-2022 from causes related to or exacerbated by pregnancy among 2,028,543 women giving birth, a maternal mortality rate of 13.56 per 100,000 https://t.co/fFx5yHMOyk
Excited to have presented our research @UCL_IfWH on postnatal caesarean scar ultrasound assessment at @ISUOG World Congress 2024! Caesarean scar niches are iatrogenic complications that can impact on #WomensHealth@PrenatalTherapy@RaffNapolitano

UCL experts, led by Professor Anna David @PrenatalTherapy@UCL_IfWH, have teamed up with pregnancy charity @tommys to launch the UK’s first centre for preterm birth research, which will aim to reduce the number of babies born prematurely across the country https://t.co/33z2MaQzr8
“Children with… open fractures, partial amputations, open chest wounds, horrendous lacerations… and burns. And that was every day.” Dr Deborah Harrington recently spent 2 weeks in a Gaza hospital. “I feel ashamed and shocked that we’re doing this to fellow humans,” she told me.
