Knowledge of iodine requirements in pregnancy remains low in NI despite two educational interventions: time for a radical rethink

Kayes Lucy , Woodside Jayne , Mullan Karen

Iodine surveys in pregnant women in UK and Ireland have consistently demonstrated iodine deficiency since the 1990s (nine cohorts) but there remains no fortification program. In its absence education and supplementation are key. Knowledge scores have been low across the UK. However, since the last report from NI 10 years ago, the NI antenatal Pregnancy Book provided at booking has a new iodine entry. Recently the British Dietetic Association (BDA) have published a ...

Improving iodine status in pregnancy: a randomised controlled trial (RCT) of milk provision for pregnant women in NI – bring back the milkman?

Kayes Lucy , Woodside Jayne , Mullan Karen

Iodine status surveys in pregnant cohorts in the UK and Ireland have demonstrated deficiency since 1990s, but there is no nationwide fortification program unlike many other European countries. Therefore, dietary modification and supplementation are key. Milk/dairy products are the main dietary sources of iodine locally. One previous RCT of milk provision in non-pregnant women in NI reported improved iodine status after 3L/week milk. We recruited 118 women at booking. Each rece...

Introduction: Pregnancy is associated with physiological rise in triglyceride level and there is increasing evidence that high levels of cholesterol are associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes, including gestational diabetes, pre-eclampsia, fetal growth restriction, large for gestational age, preterm labour, acute pancreatitis, hyperviscosity syndrome; cardiovascular risk to the women such as myocardial infarction in pregnancy and increased atherosclerosis in later life and...

Comparison of gestational diabetes one-step and two-step screening methods: incidence of gestational diabetes and associated pregnancy outcomes

Fennell David , Kinsley Brendan , Hatunic Mensud

Introduction: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a common condition of pregnancy, associated with significant maternal and fetal complications. Debate surrounds screening practices, without worldwide consensus on the optimal screening method. Both the one-step (a fasting two-hour 75g oral glucose tolerance test) and two-step (a non-fasting one-hour 50g glucose challenge test followed, if positive, by a fasting three-hour 100g glucose tolerance test) methods are internation...

Spontaneous bilateral adrenal haemorrhage: 2 cases occurring in pregnancy

McClements Catriona , Carty David , Lindsay Robert , Mackin Sharon , McBride Katherine

Bilateral adrenal haemorrhage (BAH) is uncommon in pregnancy; most cases are thought to be secondary to trauma, anti-coagulation, pre-eclampsia, tumour or sepsis, rather than spontaneous. Management is usually conservative, but adrenalectomy may be required in uncontrolled haemorrhage. We discuss two cases of spontaneous BAH presenting in the third trimester.Case 1: A 23-year-old female with BMI 33kg/m 2 presented at 37 weeks gestation w...

Lactation induction: a protocol for women with endocrine conditions, surrogate mothers and same-sex couples

Green Nathan , De Silva Neomal , Napier Catherine

The benefits of breastfeeding for infant and lactating mother are undisputed. Lactation induction is increasingly sought by women with endocrine conditions or by parents who have not been pregnant themselves. We developed a protocol for breastfeeding support and lactation induction in women under the care of our tertiary antenatal endocrine clinic. These women typically have premature ovarian insufficiency on HRT, or hypopituitarism. A separate cohort of women who do not have ...
