Childbirth experience is unique to every woman. Negative experience is detrimental to both mother and child. This study was undertaken to understand the positive and negative experience and felt need of women undergoing labor and the factors affecting them.

This cross-sectional descriptive quantitative study was conducted among women who delivered in JIPMER and consented to participate through a questionnaire that captured four areas of childbirth experience. The study was carried out before the LaQshya guidelines were implemented.

Three hundred and seventy women completed the study. The mean age of women in this study was 24.5years and 60% were primipara. Five women (1.3%) experienced physical abuse. Another 47 (12.7%) experienced disrespect in the form of scolding/insult/discrimination or nonconsented care. Three-fourths of the women wanted a relative (majority preferred their mother) with them, and 54% wanted a prayer hall in the labor room. On univariate analysis, no significant determinant was found for negative experience constituting disrespect and abuse. Complete pain relief as a need was found to be significantly higher (X2 = 11.0783,

 < 0.004) in women of lower parity. The women educated beyond scholastic level felt that information given about delivery is inadequate when compared to participants who were illiterate or had primary education only.

In our hospital 12.7% women undergoing labor experienced disrespectful behavior and 1.3% experienced physical abuse. Need for prayer hall, complete pain relief and presence of relative was felt by more than half of the participants. We did not find any specific factor influencing the negative experience.

Overall incidence ranges widely between 1 in 200 women and 4 in 100 women (Chan et al. in Hum Reprod Update 17761-771, 2011; Grimbizis et al. in Hum Reprod 282032-2044, 2013). Other way, these observations suggest presently an increased number of Mullerian abnormalities are diagnosed with more details, following the use of newer diagnostic modalities. Most classifications that are available have limitations. Diagnosis was based on imaging studies that had low diagnostic accuracy. It was focused mainly on the anomalies of the uterus. Less is known about the anomalies of the cervix or the vagina in isolation or in combination with the utero-cervical and vaginal malformations. Improved diagnostic modalities and incorporation of assisted reproductive technology have improved the outcome further. Therefore, a more expanded classification needs to be introduced with wider criteria for the clinicians. This will make clinicians' approach for the management more simple.Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a very common condition which can greatly impact a woman's quality of life. Treatment options are individualized and typically involve a combination of physiotherapy, pessary insertion and surgical treatments. It is well known that nulliparous prolapse in India constitutes 1.5-2% of genital prolapse, while the incidence is even higher (5-8%) for young women who have delivered one or two children, thus making it one of the highest rates in the world. This has necessitated the development of numerous conservative surgical treatment options for POP, which allows women to retain their sexual and reproductive function and therefore allows for subsequent pregnancies. With the controversy surrounding the use of mesh, a variety of surgical treatment options should be considered. Such alternative treatments include the use of surgical sling procedures, which have been used widely in Indian practice for the treatment of POP for over 60 years. This review outlines some of the well-established conservative treatment options for POP. It also highlights the unique contribution of Indian Obstetricians in the development of these conservative surgical treatment options, from prominent Indian Gynecologists including Dr VN Shirodkar, Dr BN Purandare, VN Purandare, RP Soonawala, Brigadier SD Khanna and Dr RM Nadkarni.Conventionally the packed red blood cell (PRBC) transfusion volume given to neonates is 10 ml/kg to 20 ml/kg. Raptinal The weight-based formulae underestimate the volume of PRBC required to achieve a target hematocrit (Hct) in preterm neonates. The study was done to compare the rise in Hct after transfusing PRBC volume calculated either based on body weight or using formula considering Hct of blood bag and Hct of preterm neonates. This prospective study included a total of 68 preterm neonates requiring transfusion for the first time having ≤ 34 weeks of gestational age. Neonates were randomized using block randomization, to receive 15 ml/kg of PRBC transfusion (group A) or transfusion based on the formula (group B). The primary outcome of interest was post-transfusion rise in hematocrit. The secondary outcome was the effect of transfusion on neonatal morbidities in terms of retinopathy of prematurity, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, intraventricular hemorrhage, necrotizing enterocolitis, and death. Baseline variables (birth weight, gestation age, APGAR score and score of neonatal acute physiology) pre-transfusion hemodynamics and hematocrit of the bag were comparable in both groups. The mean volume of PRBC in group A was 18.8 ± 4.9 ml, whereas in group B it was 29.6 ± 7.3 ml, p = 0.0001. Group B transfusions had a statistically significant change in 24 h post-transfusion hematocrit. Secondary outcomes were comparable in two groups. Post transfusion rise in Hct of the patient in group B was significant as compared to group A. The study needed huge sample size to establish a difference in the number of re-transfusions required across two groups. The trial was registered under the clinical trial registry of India (CTRI/2018/01/011,063).
