RESUMO
Background: Adolescent motherhood remains a major problem in developing countries. We set out to describe the perinatal outcomes of infants born to adolescent mothers and to determine factors associated with birth asphyxia among these infants in Mogadishu, Somalia. Methods: This cross-sectional study involved adolescent mothers who presented in labor. Sociodemographic and medical data was collected and mother-infant pairs were followed up at 24hrs. Poor perinatal outcomes were: low birth weight, birth asphyxia, death or hospitalization after 24 hours. Data was entered into Epi data 3.1 and analysed using STATA version 12.0. Results: Of the 270 adolescents, mean age was 17.7 years (±1.19), 89% were married, 94% were unemployed and 54% had not received formal education. Of the 270 babies born, 70 (25.9%) had poor perinatal outcomes which included; 35 (12.9%) died; of whom 30 (11.1%) were stillbirths. Thirty-two infants (13.3%) had birth asphyxia and 18 (6.7%) had low birth weight. Prolonged labor (p-value=<0.001) and preterm birth (p-value=0.023) were significantly associated with birth asphyxia while living in Mogadishu was protective (p- value=0.018). Conclusions: About one in four adolescent mother's babies had poor perinatal outcomes. Prolonged labor and preterm delivery and were associated with birth asphyxia while residing closer to the facilities was protective.

La obesidad sería el problema de salud más común en las mujeres en edad reproductiva. Los embarazos complicados con obesidad se relacionan con diabetes gestacional, preeclampsia, parto pretérmino, partos instrumentados y cesáreas, así como infecciones y hemorragia en el posparto. Y el bebe tiene mayor riesgo de malformaciones congénitas, ser grande/macrosómico, complicarse con distocia de hombros y muerte fetal. Las implicancias relacionadas al manejo de la obesidad en el embarazo no son muy conocidas por la falta de opciones de manejo basadas en la evidencia. El manejo de la obesidad debería empezar desde antes del embarazo, siguiendo el precepto de que una mujer debe estar en las mejores condiciones físicas y mentales si desea gestar. El profesional de la salud encargado del control prenatal necesita del apoyo de un nutricionista y/o endocrinólogo. Se debe tener en cuenta que las mujeres obesas pueden tener más dificultades en el parto, por lo que requieren de infraestructura y manejo especiales, por médicos especializados. En esta revisión se considera los problemas de salud relacionados en la madre y el hijo.
Obesity would be the most common health problem for women of reproductive age. Pregnancies complicated with obesity are associated with gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, preterm birth, instrumental delivery and cesarean section, infections and postpartum hemorrhage. And the baby is at higher risk of congenital malformations, macrosomia, shoulder dystocia, and fetal death. The implications related to the management of obesity in pregnancy are not well understood due to lack of evidence-based management options. The management of obesity should start before the woman gets pregnant, following the rule that a woman should be in the best physical and mental conditions if she wants to have a baby. The health provider in charge of the prenatal care needs the support of a dietitian or an endocrinologist. Obese women are more likely tohave difficulties during labor and delivery and require both special infrastructure and care by specialized physicians. Future health problems of mother and baby are considered in this review.

RESUMO
Se presenta un modelo de entrevista psicológica con diseño óptico para ser aplicado en el posparto inmediato.El equipo esta formado por un grupo de profesionales que realizan el acompañamiento psicológico de la madre y su bebé durante las primeras interacciones, cuando los acontecimientos se desarrollan normalmente, pero también cuando sobreviven incidentes, amenazas de partos prematuros, muerte fetal , nacimiento prematuro y descompensación postnatal.Se elaboró una lista de temas preocupantes que surgen del discurso materno a partir de la aplicación del instrumento.
