35 years, respectively. In this study, 62.5% of the mothers had received prenatal care and 12.5% of the subjects had experienced stillbirth; also, 18.7% and 6.2% of the mothers had (at least) one and two abortions, respectively. The sex ratio of stillbirths were against and 50%. In total, 18.7% of women did not consume supplements during pregnancy. The causes of mothers’ admission to healthcare centers were fetal movement reduction (or lack of it) in 31.2% of the cases, spotting or bleeding in 25% of the cases, onset of labor in 18.7% of the cases, abdominal pain in 6.2% of the mothers, and seizures in 6.2% of the mothers; also, in 25% of the cases, the cause of admission was uncertain. Causes of stillbirth included eclampsia (12%), meconium aspiration (13%), hypertensive disorders (19%), detachment (18%) and 38% were unknown.
Conclusion:Based on the findings, fetal or neonatal death has psychological consequences for families. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the quality of prenatal care and familiarize mothers with the risk factors during pregnancy.]]>

20 mu/L, respectively. After the second test, 229 patients (prevalence=2 per 1000 live births) were treated based on the diagnosis of congenital hypothyroidism, and 84.7% of the cases were treated while they were less than 28 days of age.
Conclusion:Based on these results and the importance of rapid diagnosis and initiation of treatment in infants with congenital hypothyroidism, it is necessary to raise public awareness, encourage parents, and use the potential of other organizations and agencies.]]>

30). Based on the variance analysis test, the average birth weight of an infant increased with the mother’s weight gain (P<0.001). Also, the average of infant’s birth weight was significantly higher in mothers aged ≥35 years, mothers who gave birth to male infants, and multiparous women. Low birth weight and preterm labor were significantly more prevalent among underweight mothers, and macrosomia was more common among the infants of obese mothers. Furthermore, cesarean section was more common among mothers with increased BMI. The results of the extrapolated linear model indicated that mother’s BMI at the beginning of pregnancy plays a role in predicting the infant’s birth weight.
Conclusion:The results of this study highlight the importance of mother’s BMI at the beginning of pregnancy in improving her (and the child’s) health indices. Abnormal BMI leads to undesirable prenatal complications. As a result, BMI can be used as a measure to identify pregnant women, who are at risk of maternal and neonatal complications, and prevent the associated problems.]]>
