First-time parents’ experiences of proximity and intimacy after childbirth – A qualitative study
ConclusionFirst-time parents had varied experiences of proximity and intimacy after the birth. When they chose to prioritize each other, attraction increased, strengthening their relationship and even when busy, those who wanted to be intimate with their partner found sufficient time. During this process, there was sometimes an imbalance between the partners’ sexual needs. Intimacy was then challenged, but not necessarily weakened.

Associations of Pre-Pregnancy Body Mass Index, Middle-Upper Arm Circumference, and Gestational Weight Gain
ConclusionOur findings revealed that women with low MUAC were more likely to have an inadequate gestational weight gain rate during pregnancy whereas higher MUAC was associated with an excessive gestational weight gain rate. MUAC may be a useful indicator of nutritional status associated with GWG. Routine measurement of MUAC in pregnant women may help health professionals, particularly in middle-income countries, to counsel women about gestational weight gain.
