There was a suggestion however, that maternal orientations made some contribution to the childbirth experience.
The Placenta Paradigm Questionnaire (PPQ) [ 10] and the Facilitator Regulator Questionnaire (FRQ) [ 42] were used to determine maternal orientations on pregnancy and their infants.
One must take into consideration that adaptation to maternity is influenced by numerous factors which were not entered into account in the present instance, such as maternal orientations [ 24], self-perceived distress [ 25] and depression [ 12].
These teams will be comprehensive in orientation, addressing HIV/TB, maternal-child health and chronic non-communicable diseases, with a strong preventive/promotive focus that includes inter-sectoral action on the social determinants of health.
Evaluate the effects of prenatal exposure to progesterone (via maternal medical treatment) on the sexual orientation of offspring.
Increased rates of same-sex orientation were found in the maternal uncles and male cousins of these subjects, but not in their fathers or paternal relatives, suggesting the possibility of sex-linked transmission in a portion of the population.
Linkage phases consist of a maternal and a paternal component, indicating marker orientation (and P-origin) in the F1 mother and the F1 father.
Meiotic crossovers (COs) are required for the establishment of cohesin-mediated inter-homolog interactions, which are in most organisms indispensible for the bipolar orientation and segregation of recombined chromosomes of maternal and paternal origin [10,11].
A consistent fraternal birth order effect in male sexual orientation also provides support for a model of maternal immunization processes affecting prenatal sexual differentiation.
Their conclusion is that pregnant women and their clinicians should be more alert of dietary orientation during pregnancy and take preventive actions, implying reduced maternal polyphenol intake (Shima et al., 2011).
