Pregnancy is the physiological state in which an embryo and subsequently a fetus develops within the uterus, spanning conception through to delivery and typically divided into three trimesters. It entails extensive maternal adaptation, including hemodynamic expansion, increased blood volume, altered metabolic and endocrine function, and immunologic accommodation of the fetus. Antenatal care aims to monitor maternal and fetal wellbeing, detect complications such as anemia, gestational diabetes, infection, and hypertensive disorders, and support healthy outcomes for mother and child. Within Women's Reproductive Health, pregnancy research spans clinical obstetrics, maternal mental health, preconception care, and the social determinants of maternal outcomes. Studies relevant to this journal address antenatal care utilization and associated factors, preconception care knowledge and practice, teenage pregnancy profiles, hemoglobin thresholds and anemia risk in pregnancy, hemoglobinopathy presenting in pregnancy, postpartum depression in relation to maternal beliefs and perfectionism, and the experiences of pregnant students in academic settings. Additional work examines rare uterine-anomaly pregnancies, malaria prevention in pregnancy, and infection-related knowledge and practice among pregnant women. The journal publishes peer-reviewed clinical, epidemiological, and psychosocial research on pregnancy, antenatal care, and maternal health across diverse populations and settings.
