NIH-funded study examines most effective treatment option for pregnancy of unknown location

Preemptive treatment for a nonviable pregnancy of unknown location—a situation in which there is a positive pregnancy test result but the location of the pregnancy cannot be confirmed within or outside the uterus with other diagnostic tests—resolves the condition more rapidly than treating symptoms as they arise, suggests a study supported by the National Institutes of Health.

Three-dimensional analyses of ultrasound images can accurately predict fetal weight during pregnancy

A potential predictor of complications during pregnancy and birth is fetal birth weight. For example, macrosomia (which is defined as a birth weight greater than 4,000 grams) makes it more difficult for the baby's shoulders to pass through the mother's vagina, and this effect can increase the mother's risk of experiencing vaginal tearing and postpartum bleeding and her likelihood of needing to undergo a caesarian section.
