Annual Evidence Update on Antenatal and Pregnancy Care: 28 September - 2 October 2009

An update of the evidence on this topic from NHS Evidence - women's health.

This Annual Evidence Update (AEU) aims to provide clinicians with the most up-to-date knowledge on the antenatal and pregnancy care offered to women. The update brings together the results of a comprehensive literature search for new research published since July 2008. The 2009 AEU builds on the AEU from last year and adds to this any new evidence identified from the up-to-date literature search. Topics include:

• information needs
• common pregnancy problems
• provision of antenatal care
• antenatal ultrasound
• fetal heart rate monitoring.

We know that it is very difficult for busy clinicians to keep up-to-date with the huge volume of literature that is published each year and so NHS Evidence - women's health does this for you so that you don't have to!
