Pregnancy, Childbirth and Puerperium in Women with Spinal Cord Injury
This guideline on pregnancy, childbirth and puerperium for women with spinal cord injury (SCI) presents general issues relating to the wish to have children and pregnancy in the context of SCI. The guideline was developed by the German-speaking Medical Society for Paraplegia ( <i>Deutschsprachige Medizinische Gesellschaft für Paraplegiologie</i> , DMGP) and the German Society for Gynecology and Obstetrics ( <i>Deutsche Gesellschaft für Gynäkologie und Geburtshilfe</i> , DGGG). As there were no generally available evidence-based guidelines about this complex set of problems, this new guideline aims to standardize procedures using a structured consensus-of-experts approach. The aim is to establish general interdisciplinary standards and provide practical assistance for the care and counseling of women with SCI who wish to have children/are pregnant and thereby close the identified gaps in medical care, information, interdisciplinary cooperation and research.
