International Conference on Labor & Child Birth July 26-27, 2022 Madrid, Spain

A branch of medicine that specializes in the care of women during pregnancy and childbirth and in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the female reproductive organs. It also specializes in other women's health issues, such as menopause, hormone problems, contraception (birth control), and infertility.

Labor" and "delivery" describe the process of childbirth. Contractions of the uterus and changes in the cervix (the opening of the uterus) prepare a woman's body to give birth. Then the baby is born, and the placenta follows.

A maternal-fetal medicine specialist is a doctor who helps take care of women having complicated or high-risk pregnancies. These doctors are obstetricians who also completed 3 extra years of training in high-risk pregnancy. They are also called perinatologists and high-risk pregnancy doctors.

Maternal physiological changes in pregnancy are the adaptations during pregnancy that the pregnant woman's body undergoes to accommodate the growing embryo or fetus. After 9 to 10 weeks of pregnancy, the placenta itself produces large amounts of estrogen and progesterone to help maintain the pregnancy. The placenta produces a hormone (similar to thyroid-stimulating hormone) that stimulates the thyroid, causing hyperplasia, increased vascularity, and moderate enlargement

Perinatal Pathology is the study of diseases of the placenta, fetus and neonate. The perinatal period is classically defined as the time immediately before and after birth. Different time cut-offs have been used but typically the perinatal period is from 28 weeks gestation to 4 weeks after birthThe placenta should be submitted for pathologic evaluation if an abnormality is detected or certain indications are present. Examination of the placenta can yield information that may be important in the immediate and later management of mother and infant.

Reproductive health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity, in all matters relating to the reproductive system and its processes.

Common Reproductive Health Concerns for Women

1. Endometriosis.
2. Uterine Fibroids.
3. Gynecologic Cancer.
4. HIV/AIDS.
5. Interstitial Cystitis.
6. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
7. Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs)
8. Sexual Violence.

The heart is the primary organ to create in your unborn child and is the most essential to their lifetime of wellbeing. We're here to help see precisely how your child's heart is developing, and to cooperate with you, your obstetrician and a different consideration group to help your infant's special requirements previously, during and after birth. Inborn Coronary illness (CHD) might be distinguished during fetal existence with an undeniable degree of symptomatic exactness at tertiary focuses with a set up fetal cardiology program.Fetal cardiologists are pediatric cardiologists who have special expertise in the diagnosis and management of problems that affect a baby's heart, both before and after birth. There are a number of reasons for your doctor to ask you to see a fetal cardiologist.

Genetics is the science that deals with the storage of information within the cell, its transmission from generation to generation, and variation among individuals within a population.Human genetics is the study of inheritance as it occurs in human beings. Human genetics encompasses a variety of overlapping fields including: classical genetics, cytogenetics, molecular genetics, biochemical genetics, genomics, population genetics, developmental genetics, clinical genetics, and genetic counseling.

Pregnant and expecting mothers have the opportunity to learn a lot about their unborn child's health with today's genetic screening and diagnostic tests. Prenatal genetic testing allows the expectant mother and her health care team to provide the best health care for the baby.

The two main types of prenatal testing are:

Screening tests. Prenatal screening tests can identify whether your baby is more or less likely to have certain birth defects, many of which are genetic disorders.

Diagnostic tests

A fetal ultrasound (sonogram) is an imaging technique that uses sound waves to produce images of a fetus in the uterus. Fetal ultrasound images can help your health care provider evaluate your baby's growth and development and monitor your pregnancy.Genetic testing in pregnancy shows the likelihood that an unborn child will have certain inherited health conditions. Genetic testing can also determine, with as much certainty as possible, whether an unborn child has certain genetic disorders or birth defects.

Fetal surgery and anesthesia for fetal surgery are branches of obstetric anesthesia. This form of anesthesia is complicated because anesthetic care is being provided for two patients, mother and fetus simultaneously. The mother of the fetus is essentially being used as a life support system for the fetus, permitting a major fetal surgical intervention that would otherwise place the fetus at an increased risk for morbidity or mortality.

A condition caused by mutations in one or more genes is called a genetic disorder. In some cases, gene mutations are so severe that they prevent an embryo from surviving until birth. These changes occur in genes that are essential for development, and often disrupt the development of an embryo in its earliest stages.A genetic disorder or genetic brain injury (GBI), is a health problem caused by one or more abnormalities in the genome. It can be caused by a mutation in a single gene (monogenic) or multiple genes (polygenic) or by a chromosomal abnormality.

The fetal brain begins to develop during the third week of gestation. Neural progenitor cells begin to divide and differentiate into neurons and glia, the two cell types that form the basis of the nervous system. By the ninth week, the brain appears as a small, smooth structure.Fossilization of brain, or other soft tissue, is possible however, and scientists can infer that the first brain structure appeared at least 521 million years ago, with fossil brain tissue present in sites of exceptional preservation.
