A register of pregnant women will be launched in Russia on March 1.

Starting from March 1, Russia plans to launch a register containing information about women receiving medical care in the field of obstetrics and gynecology in connection with pregnancy. This was reported on February 22 in a document available to TASS.

It states that the system will record the date of registration and the duration of pregnancy at the moment, information on the use of assisted reproductive technologies, as well as data on pregnancy outcome and the presence of critical obstetric conditions.

In addition, the register is planned to include information about the date and time of the child's birth, his gender, height, body weight and Apgar score. Data on the development of individual conditions in the perinatal period and on identified congenital anomalies, malformations or chromosomal abnormalities will also be reflected.

The document provides for the registration of women who have been monitored before the 12th week of pregnancy, including with the use of assisted reproductive technologies. It is planned to analyze the proportion of normal pregnancies, full-term births, cases of complications in the perinatal period and congenital pathologies identified after birth.
