Perinatal Obsessive Compulsive Disorder by Andy Young
Someone with perinatal OCD may be more careful about avoiding risks in pregnancy and following childbirth. They may worry if they have normal but unexpected thoughts about their baby being harmed. Many mothers have these but do not find them to be a problem. For some, these normal worries can trigger or worsen symptoms of OCD, and the symptoms can interfere with life and daily living. Typically, they will usually bother a woman for at least an hour a day and, often, much more than that. Those with perinatal OCD may feel anxious, fearful, guilty, disgusted, or depressed about their condition.

Pregnancy Diet: Birth Outcome Depends Less on Diet than on Frequent Use of Interventions in Hospital Birth by Judy Slome Cohain
What can be said is that birth setting influences birth outcome more than diet. Regardless of diet, outcomes for homebirths are different from those of hospital births, because homebirth involves fewer interventions and cesareans. Nutrition is a critical factor in homebirth outcomes, while in hospital birth, the interventions used are the most critical factor.

Recovering from a Shocking Hemorrhage by Beth S. Barbeau
A mother such as this one—once the immediate bleeding has been stopped and she is stabilizing—may have additional risk factors and challenges in her postpartum recovery that go well beyond low hemoglobin. These potential risks include a much-extended recovery period, days of severe headache, prolonged iron-deficiency anemia, a milk supply that is insufficient or never comes in, a weakened immune system, and postpartum depression. The more swiftly we can move this mother back from the physiological and energetic edge of the danger and fright she has experienced, the more stable she will be, the better she will feel, and the more swiftly she will recover.

The Benefits of Waiting by Sara Wickham and Nadine Edwards
The need to prove safety can be problematic, because the very ideology that underpins scientific research makes safety very difficult to prove. But in one area of maternity care that has received a lot of attention over the past few years, an increasing volume of research is demonstrating that it is both safe and beneficial to wait. We are referring to the question of optimal cord clamping: being patient before rushing to cut the baby’s umbilical cord, unless there is a problem which necessitates a speedier approach.
