This educational course is dedicated to the fundamental physiological processes of pregnancy and labor, exploring the complex triad of fetus, mother, and placenta. The programme provides a structured overview of fetal circulation and adaptive mechanisms, the fetoplacental unit, maternal physiological adaptations, and the physiology of labor. A profound understanding of these mechanisms is essential for appreciating how adaptations occur in response to adverse conditions. By revisiting the foundations of normal pregnancy physiology, the course aims to strengthen understanding of maternal–fetal–placental interactions and their importance for safe and effective obstetric care.

Fetal Brain is the topic of this course follows the mission of the World Association of Perinatal Medicine, in collaboration with the Perinatal Medicine Foundation, which brings together groups and individuals worldwide, with the aim to improve prenatal detection of Central Nervous System anomalies and the appropriate referral of pregnancies with suspected fetal anomalies. You can find these guidelines on WAPM (www.worldperinatal.org). In addition, this document provides further guidance for healthcare practitioners with the goal of standardizing the description of ultrasonographic abnormal findings. We are grateful that Magda Sanz Cortes and Valentina De Robertis have prepared this course program. Recorded sessions will be available to only premium members.

Ultrasound has become an essential component of modern antenatal care, providing clinicians with critical insights into maternal and fetal health throughout pregnancy. From confirming early viability in the first trimester to guiding clinical decisions during labour, obstetric ultrasound plays a pivotal role in improving pregnancy outcomes and ensuring safer care for both mother and child. This online course is designed specifically for medical doctors who seek to strengthen their knowledge and practical understanding of obstetric ultrasound across the entire continuum of pregnancy. Covering key milestones from the first trimester through the third trimester and into labour, the course will explore the clinical applications, interpretation, and best practices of ultrasound in antenatal care.

Early pregnancy is a highly stressful period for many women. Healthcare professionals are expected to effectively investigate a range of potential complications, including ectopic pregnancy, cesarean scar pregnancy, molar pregnancy, and threatened miscarriage, while also reassuring women when a pregnancy is viable and progressing normally. However, this process is not always straightforward. In addition, early ultrasound is not routinely offered in all settings, and the signs and symptoms of even life threatening conditions may be mild or misleading. In this webinar, experienced clinicians will provide an update on the diagnosis and management of complications in early pregnancy.

This webinar on fetal lung management focused on the prenatal diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of fetal lung anomalies using ultrasound and fetal therapy techniques. It began with a review of normal fetal thoracic anatomy and then moved to major congenital anomalies involving the fetal thorax. For each condition, speakers discussed ultrasound diagnostic features, prognostic indicators, available fetal surgical interventions, and neonatal management strategies to improve perinatal outcomes. We are grateful that Valentina De Robertis have prepared this course program. Recorded sessions will be available to only premium members.

Diabetes in Pregnancy: Innovations, Interventions, and Insights for the Next Decade is a focused, high-impact webinar bringing together leading experts in maternal–fetal medicine, obstetrics, endocrinology, and basic science. The program spans the full spectrum of diabetic pregnancy: early prediction and screening, placental and fetal physiology, congenital heart and brain effects, and long-term metabolic risks for women. Participants will receive state-of-the-art updates on emerging therapies—including GLP-1 agonists, CGM technology, insulin strategies, and AI-supported management—alongside practical clinical guidance. With concise lectures, interactive Q&A sessions, and forward-looking discussions, this symposium is designed for clinicians and trainees aiming to stay at the forefront of innovation and evidence in diabetes and pregnancy.

While C-sections can be lifesaving, it is best when performed for medical necessity rather than convenience. Proper prenatal care and informed decision-making can help balance the risks and benefits. Unnecessary C-sections may contribute to rising global rates, straining medical resources. It creates some problems such as breathing problems with increased risk of transient tachypnea (fast breathing) at birth, lower gut microbiome diversity which may affect immunity and digestion due to lack of exposure to beneficial vaginal bacteria, possible NICU Admission. Also increased risk of placenta previa or uterine rupture, scar tissue may cause pain or bowel obstruction and higher risk of rupture if attempting a vaginal birth in subsequent pregnancies.

Preterm labor is one of the most common reasons for prenatal admission to hospital, accounting for up to one third of such cases in some reports. However, the diagnosis of true preterm labor remains unreliable, resulting in significant over-treatment, since fewer than 10% of these women will eventually deliver within 1 week or before 35 weeks, irrespective of treatment.

Postpartum hemorrhage is the main cause of maternal death, and the majority of these deaths occur in settings with limited resources where the priority are simple and early interventions since late procedures such as correction of coagulopathy and surgical or endovascular interventions may not be available.

The prevalence of major congenital heart diseases is 4 1000 live births, and they are one of the most important reasons of neonatal mortality and morbidity. The fetal diagnosis of cardiac anomalies is very important in the follow-up and management of both fetus and newborn, it enables to intervene in the cases properly and on time and provides a significant contribution to the prognosis
