Association of stress during delivery with increased numbers of nucleated cells nad hematopoietic progenitor cells in umbilical cord blood
Article Abstract:
Doctors can still harvest cord blood after a stressful delivery unless it would interfere with the delivery. A study of 300 pregnant women showed that stress during delivery increased the level of stem cells in cord blood.

The severity of immune fetal hydrops is predictive of fetal outcome after intrauterine treatment
Article Abstract:
All pregnant women with an Rh incompatibility should have prenatal tests for fetal anemia. Fetuses who are anemic and have tissue swelling should immediately be treated with intrauterine blood transfusions. If this treatment eliminates tissue swelling, the fetus will have a good prognosis.

Complications of intrauterine intravascular transfusion for fetal anemia due to maternal red-cell alloimmunization
Article Abstract:
The study establishes true procedure-related complication rate of intrauterine transfusion therapy. It reveals that intrauterine transfusion is a safe procedure, with a relatively low procedure-related perinatal loss rate.
