In some women, morning sickness might be an indicator of more serious later-pregnancy complications, including preterm delivery, a new study says. In the study, women who reported nausea and vomiting in pregnancy that interfered with their ability to live normally were 23 percent more likely to deliver their baby before 34 weeks, and 31 percent more likely to have  high blood pressure or preeclampsia, compared with women who said their morning sickness did not substantially affected their lives. Women with life-affecting morning sickness were also about twice as likely to have low  weight gain during pregnancy.

Excerpt:

A condemned killer attempting to delay his execution because of his harsh weight hasn't raised enough new problems to necessitate the legal obstacle, a federal judge ruled Monday. Death row inmate Ronald Post, who weighs at least 400 pounds, is asking the courts to stop his January execution on the premises his weight can trigger him to suffer severe discomfort during the procedure. Post is prohibited from challenging his execution by injection because he raised comparable cases in his first set of federal appeals in 1997, Judge Lesley Wells stated Monday in Cleveland. In general, death row inmates are just enabled one federal appeal when affirming the exact same set of facts.

Steps can be taken to reduce preterm births, report claims | Synopsis

Steps can be taken to reduce preterm births, report claims

Excerpt:

For all the miracle stories of tiny preemies who survive, the sad reality is that scientists know far too little about what triggers premature birth and how to prevent it. And despite some recent progress, the U.S. has a far higher rate of preterm births than other similar nations. On Thursday, an international coalition said there are a handful of proven protections - and if the U.S. and other developed countries do a better job of using them, together they could keep 58,000 babies a year from being born too soon. That's a blip in the global epidemic of prematurity: About 15 million preterm babies are born every year, most of them in Africa and parts of Asia where the priority is to improve care of these fragile newborns. More than 1 million premature infants die, mostly in developing countries, and survivors can suffer lifelong disabilities.
