The Journal of Maternal-Fetal & Neonatal Medicine

Birth represents a unique and extraordinary challenge for humans. A proper medical care, support and monitoring during labor and delivery are crucial to ensure a safe and healthy outcome for both the mother and the fetus and to reduce the risk of adverse outcomes.

Recent advances in the labor ward have been focused on enhancing maternal and fetal well-being during childbirth. With the help of cutting-edge fetal monitoring technologies, such as intrapartum ultrasound, the growing widespread of these innovations is providing clinicians with an insight into the dynamic and complex processes of labor and delivery.

In the light of this, the Journal of Maternal-Fetal and neonatal medicine invites clinicians to submit original papers to our upcoming Article Collection focused on “Advances in Labor ward: from fetal monitoring to intrapartum ultrasound”.
