Despite similarities, differences exist in counseling modalities and test uptake. This study explored decision‐making and perspectives of pregnant women who opted for NIPT in both countries.MethodsA questionnaire study was performed among pregnant women in the Netherlands (NL) (n = 587) and Belgium (BE) (n = 444) opting for NIPT, including measures on informed choice, personal and societal perspectives on trisomy 21, 18 and 13 and pregnancy termination.ResultsDifferences between Dutch and Belgian women were shown in the level of informed choice (NL: 83% vs. BE: 59%, p < 0.001), intention to terminate the pregnancy in case of confirmed trisomy 21 (NL: 51% vs. BE: 62%, p = 0.003) and trisomy 13/18 (NL: 80% vs. BE: 73%, p = 0.020). More Belgian women considered trisomy 21 a severe condition (NL: 64% vs. BE: 81%, p < 0.001). Belgian women more frequently indicated that they believed parents are judged for having a child with trisomy 21 (BE: 42% vs. NL: 16%, p < 0.001) and were less positive about quality of care and support for children with trisomy 21 (BE: 23% vs. NL: 62%, p < 0.001).ConclusionDifferences in women's decision‐making regarding NIPT and the conditions screened for may be influenced by counseling aspects and country‐specific societal and cultural contexts.

To describe women characteristics, the circumstances in which the interventions took place, the management of the obstetric haemorrhage, the outcome and additional morbidity of these women.DesignNationwide population-based prospective cohort study.SettingEmergency obstetric care. Participation of 97% of maternities covering 98.6% of deliveries in Belgium.ParticipantsAll women who underwent peripartum hysterectomy and/or IR procedures in Belgium between January 2012 and December 2013.ResultsWe obtained data on 166 women who underwent peripartum hysterectomy (n=84) and/or IR procedures (n=102), corresponding to 1 in 3030 women undergoing a peripartum hysterectomy and another 1 in 3030 women being managed by IR, thereby preserving the uterus. Seventeen women underwent hysterectomy following IR and three women needed further IR despite h...

We retrospectively evaluated amniotic fluid volume in 32 monochorionic diamniotic twin pregnancies that were followed longitudinally at 2-week intervals from the first trimester until birth. Amniotic fluid volume was assessed by measuring the deepest vertical pocket in both amniotic sacs. We used multilevel modeling to estimate the gestational age-specific reference ranges for deepest vertical pocket measurements. Based on 429 observations in 64 fetuses, we constructed gestational age-specific reference ranges from 11 weeks until term. The deepest pocket increased from the first trimester to reach a ...
