Obstetric profiles and pregnancy outcomes of immigrant women in New South Wales, 1990-1992.
This study examined the obstetric profiles and pregnancy outcomes of immigrant women in New South Wales (NSW). The source of data was the NSW Midwives Data Collection. The characteristics of 64,922 immigrant women were compared with 189,357 Australian-born non-Aboriginal women who delivered babies between 1990-1992 in NSW. The study demonstrated that immigrant women were older, generally had less private health insurance coverage and fewer teenage pregnancies. Immigrant women showed lower rates of essential hypertension, but higher rates of hepatitis B and gestational diabetes. While induced labour was conducted less frequently among immigrant women, episiotomy, instrumental delivery and Caesarean section were performed more frequently among this group. The incidence of postpartum complications was higher among immigrant women.Verona Blue

Verona Blue is originally from Toronto but arrived in Los Angeles by way of Bristol and London, where she received classical, conservatory training in voice, movement and text at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School. She excels at weapons and combat, holds a BADC advanced certificate under Fight Master Jonathan Howell, and is extremely easy to find at an airport. Realising her niche was strong, but limited, Verona began creating her own opportunities with a group creative friends and colleagues. Her first film (and reel!) "Elizabeth" won Best Editing and was nominated for Best Actress at the Indie Horror Film Festival in Chicago in 2013. With a professional background in web development and extensive experience working on film industry related websites, she has a lot going on.
