ABSTRACT
Ovarian pregnancy is a rare form of ectopic pregnancy that is often difficult to diagnose. The diagnostic criteria were described in 1878 by Spiegelberg, which comprise that the pregnancy is in the ovary and does not involve the tube. Ovarian pregnancy occurs in the corpus luteum, and is usually accompanied with the rupture of the ovary and massive hemoperitoneum. It presents as a hemorrhagic ovary and frequently misdiagnosed as a ruptured corpus luteum. We have experienced a case of ovarian pregnancy and reviewed it briefly.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the mean two-month-postpartum weight loss, standard deviations and the 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 90th percentiles in the uncomplicated term pregnancy and to examine association between prepregnancy body mass index and two-month-postpartum weight loss. METHODS: We analyzed the two-month-postpartum weight loss data from 175 women who had healthy singleton term pregnancy in Han-il Hospital (Jan 2002-Dec 2002). Data were categorized in three groups according to body mass index. RESULTS: Mean two-month-postpartum weight loss was 9.46 +/- 3.42 kg. There was no statistically significant difference between prepregancy BMI groups and two-month-postpartum weight loss. The more weight gained during pregnancy, the more that was lost at two-month-postpartum. Parous women retained more of their pregnancy weight. Compared with women who delivered vaginally, women who delivered cesarean experienced greater weight loss at two-month-postpartum. CONCLUSION: More careful postpartum care according to the two-month-postpartum weight loss table is needed to prevent long-term obesity.

OBJECTIVE: Mean weight gains, standard deviations were calculated for each gestational months and the 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 90th percentiles were determined. And the influence of prepregnancy body mass index and/or parity on monthly weight gain was investigated. METHODS: We analyzed the monthly weight gain data from 876 women who had healthy sigleton term pregnancy in Han-il Hospital(Jul 2001-Jun 2002). Data were categorized in three groups according to the prepregnancy body mass index. RESULTS: The monthly weight gain table has been determined and 'Sigmoid(S) shaped' monthly weight gain curve was presented. Primipara and multipara have less weight gain than nullipara in the 5th and the 7th-11th months. Monthly weight gains adjusted for parity and age were significantly different among prepregnancy body mass index groups from the 4th month. CONCLUSIONS: More careful prenatal care according to the monthly weight gain-gestational month tables is needed to prevent a lot of complications which may be associated with abnormal weight gain during pregnancy.
