Pregnancy and the Vaginal Microbiome
Webinar Details
Join Moira and Rhiannon for this engaging two hour webinar providing key insight into the essential and sometimes detrimental role of the vaginal microbiome in preconception, pregnancy and birth, including assessment strategies and clinical gems for best management.
Pregnancy is a uniquely demanding time, where nutritional, immune and inflammatory factors are of utmost importance for gestational success and parental & offspring outcomes. We now know that the vaginal microbiome significantly influences endometrial, placental and foetal microbe diversity, and plays an integral role in maintaining a pregnancy, protecting against placental dysfunction and pregnancy loss, as well as foetal immune maturation.
This area is of significant interest to all practitioners working in the preconception and pregnancy space, as safe and effective therapies, as well as the capacity to make risk-benefit analysis decisions in individual circumstances.
