    Abstract Background: Migration due to environmental factors is an international crisis affecting many nations globally. Pregnant people are a vulnerable subgroup of migrants.
    Aim: This article explores the potential effects of environmental migration on pregnancy and aims to draw attention to this rising concern.
    Methods: Based on the study aim, a semi-structured literature review was performed. The following databases were searched: MEDLine (PubMed) and Google Scholar. The search was originally conducted on 31st January 2021 and repeated on 22nd September 2022.
    Results: Pregnant migrants are at increased risk of mental health disorders, congenital anomalies, preterm birth, and maternal mortality. Pregnancies exposed to natural disasters are at risk of low birth weight, preterm birth, hypertensive disorders, gestational diabetes, and mental health morbidity. Along with the health risks, there are additional complex social factors affecting healthcare engagement in this population.
    Conclusion: Maternity healthcare providers are likely to provide care for environmental migrants over the coming years. Environmental disasters and migration as individual factors have complex effects on perinatal health, and environmental migrants may be at risk of specific perinatal complications. Obstetricians and maternity healthcare workers should be aware of these challenges and appreciate the individualised and specialised care that these patients require.

    Abstract Objectives: The objective of this study was to: 1. Establish the median gestational age of spontaneous labour for low-risk nulliparas. 2. Examine the variation in mode of delivery and short-term neonatal outcomes with gestation at onset of spontaneous labour.
    Study design: This is a retrospective observational cohort study conducted at a tertiary obstetric unit. The study population was 12, 323 low risk nulliparous women with singleton pregnancies who experienced spontaneous onset of labour. The study period was over seven years, from Jan 1st 2011 to 31st Dec 2017. Exclusion criteria were multiparity, multi-fetal pregnancy, booking after 14 weeks gestation, antepartum or intrapartum death, or any obstetric or fetal indication for delivery with the exception of post-maturity. Gestation of onset of spontaneous labour, demographic variables and maternal and neonatal outcomes were collected. The primary outcome was median gestational age at onset of spontaneous labour and its distribution at term. Secondary outcomes were mode of delivery and neonatal outcomes including low-apgar score and NICU admission.
    Results: 12, 323 patients were eligible for inclusion. Median gestation for onset of labour was 40.1 weeks gestation, with 80.5% of spontaneous labour occurs by 41 + 0 weeks gestation. The risk of assisted delivery (RR 1.32, 95% CI 1.23 - 1.42), caesarean section (RR 2.17, 95% CI 1.88-2.51) and low-apgar scores (RR 3.13 95% CI 1.50-6.55) increased significantly with spontaneous labour after 41 weeks' gestation.
    Conclusions: Nulliparous women with low-risk pregnancies are most likely to experience spontaneous labour between 40 + 0 and 40 + 6. 80.5% of spontaneous labour occurred by 41 + 0 weeks gestation. Assisted vaginal delivery, caesarean section and low-apgar scores were significantly more likely with spontaneous labour after 41 weeks' gestation.

    Abstract Introduction Haemorrhoids and anal fissures (HAF) are common in pregnancy and can severely affect the quality of life of those suffering from them. Despite the condition being common, there is limited evidence, formal guidelines or recommendations on treatment, and little is known about the natural course during pregnancy. Methods This was a prospective, observational cohort study conducted at a tertiary-referral university maternity hospital (The National Maternity Hospital, Dublin), conducted over a nine-month period. The first part of the study was a case-control study of antenatal patients over 34 weeks' gestation. The second part of the study involved a cohort of postnatal patients. Anonymous patient surveys were performed and analysed. Results Two hundred and fifty-eight patients were recruited into the study from the outpatient clinics and wards of one maternity hospital from April to December 2021. Of the antenatal patients, 82/184 (45%) of these patients had symptoms of HAF and 102/184 (55%) antenatal patients were unaffected, acting as controls. In addition, 74 affected postnatal patients were also included. In the affected antenatal group, 36/82 (44%) of patients had self-reported HAF (symptoms or signs of HAF); 50/82 (61%) of patients diagnosed with HAF on their own. 12/82 (15%) noticed symptoms in the first trimester, 25/82 (30%) in the second and 45/82 (55%) in the third. 142/184 (77%) of antenatal patients used conservative methods to manage their symptoms, including an increase in dietary fibre. 144/184 (78%) used medical treatments including suppositories. Only one patient had surgery. 70/156 (45%) of postnatal patients' symptoms resolved within days, 42/156 (27%) in weeks and 44/156 (28%) within months. Conclusion HAF affect almost half of the pregnancies. Age over 35 was significantly associated with antenatal haemorrhoids or anal fissures. Concerningly, the majority of patients (64%) self-diagnose and manage the condition without either seeking or receiving guidance from medical professionals. In terms of the natural course of the disease, it was encouraging that 45% of patients' symptoms resolved within a few days. This will help when counselling patients with distressing symptoms. Conservative measures such as increased dietary fibre, increased fluid intake and bath salts were effective in relieving symptoms for the majority of patients.

    Abstract Intravenous leiomyomatosis is extremely rare. This case describes a 42-year-old woman who presented with abdominal distension, cyclical bloating and urinary retention. Preoperative imaging showed a multilobulated uterine mass. Following multidisciplinary team discussion, a complete staging surgery consisting of midline laparotomy, total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophrectomy was performed. Intraoperatively, a large multilobulated uterine mass was noted with engorgement of the infundibulopelvic ligaments due to intravascular extension of tumour. On removal of the uterus, the patient desaturated and became hypotensive. Intraoperative transoesophageal echocardiography revealed mass extending from the inferior vena cava (IVC) into the right atrium (RA). The cardiothoracic surgical team retrieved a worm-like mass extending from the IVC into the RA. Histopathological examination diagnosed a large uterine leiomyoma with intravenous leiomyomatosis. The mass from the RA was a bland spindle cell tumour which matched the uterine mass histopathologically. Intravenous leiomyomatosis is a rare variant of uterine leiomyoma. Although intracardiac extension has been described, this is the first case of intraoperative embolisation of pelvic tumour to the RA at hysterectomy.

    Abstract Transabdominal cerclage is an effective surgical intervention for preterm birth prevention. Placement of cervical sutures using a port closure device for prepregnancy laparoscopic abdominal cerclage has been used at our unit in recent years. We report the operative and pregnancy outcomes for prepregnancy laparoscopic abdominal cerclage using the port closure device and compare it with the outcomes of the traditional approach. For prepregnancy laparoscopic transabdominal cerclage (n=52), the port closure device approach was associated with less blood loss during surgery (0.95±4.4 mL vs 5.4±15.7 mL; P=.007) and a shorter hospital length of stay (0.0; 0.0-0.0 days vs 1.0; 0.0-1.0 days; P<.001). There were also trends toward shorter operating times (41.4±15.3 minutes vs 50.1±18.0 minutes; P=.167) and lower perioperative complication rates (0.0%; 0/21 vs 16.1%; 5/31; P=.065) when compared with the traditional technique. There was no significant difference between the port closure device technique and the traditional approach in the rate of preterm birth in a subsequent pregnancy (0.0%; 0/9 vs 22.6%; 7/39; P=.248). Use of the port closure device for suture placement during prepregnancy laparoscopic cerclage for preterm birth prevention was reported. This technique was associated with less blood loss and a shorter hospital length of stay, had trends toward shorter operating times and lower perioperative complication rates, and had similar rates of preterm birth.

    Abstract Background: Macrosomia in the absence of diabetes can be associated with increased neonatal and maternal morbidity. Management is usually undertaken on a case-by-case basis.
    Aims: In order to inform local practice, this study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of the management of non-diabetic macrosomia in an Irish tertiary center.
    Methods: A retrospective observational study was performed on all women with estimated fetal weight over 4000 g after 37 weeks' gestation. Maternal demographics and obstetric and neonatal outcomes were recorded using the hospital information system. Women with diabetes, previous caesarean section, non-cephalic presentation, or any other complicating condition were excluded. Women were divided into two groups: 1. Active management: Elective delivery for macrosomia-between 38 + 0 and 40 + 6 weeks' gestation 2. Expectant management: with induction of labour offered after 41 weeks' gestation RESULTS: There were 397 women included, 188 with active and 209 with expectant management. There was no difference in adverse neonatal outcomes, major maternal morbidity, or mode of delivery, after exclusion of pre-labor caesarean section. Women with expectant management were more likely to go into spontaneous labor (46.9 vs 1.6%, p < 0.001) and to have a favorable cervix at the onset of induction of labor if nulliparous (86.1 vs 70.0%, p = 0.021), but have higher rates of episiotomy (28.6 vs 18.2%, p = 0.021). With active management, nulliparas with an unfavorable cervix had increased risk of anal sphincter injury (6.5 vs 0.0%, p = 0.007) and postpartum hemorrhage (59.0 vs 35.5%, p = 0.003).
    Conclusions: Overall, there was no difference in major maternal or neonatal outcomes between management options for fetal macrosomia. However, inducing nulliparas with an unfavorable cervix for non-diabetic macrosomia was associated with obstetric anal sphincter injury and postpartum hemorrhage.

    Abstract Uterine rupture is a rare obstetric complication that is associated with maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to examine uterine rupture and its outcomes in the setting of the unscarred compared with the scarred uterus. A retrospective observational cohort study was performed examining all cases of uterine rupture in three tertiary care hospitals in Dublin, Ireland, over a 20-year period. The primary outcome was perinatal mortality rate with uterine rupture, which was 11.02% (95% CI 6.5-17.3). There was no significant difference in perinatal mortality between cases of scarred and unscarred uterine rupture. Unscarred uterine rupture was associated with higher maternal morbidity , defined as major obstetric hemorrhage or hysterectomy.
