Women facing complications during pregnancy or childbirth may develop posttraumatic stress disorder after childbirth. A condition too rarely detected, which can also affect the nursing staff.
A working group from the National College of French Gynecologists and Obstetricians has established a consensus on the definition and management of these symptoms.

Paris (CNSNews.com) – A bill banning “virginity certificates” passed its first legislative hurdle in France this week, as lawmakers aim to reduce a practice often linked to forced or arranged marriages – and sometimes to so-called “honor” killings – particularly in conservative Muslim communities.
The measure forms part of a broader “anti-separatism” bill, designed to counter radical Islamism in the country, which the lower house passed after 80 hours of debate and the adoption of 144 amendments. The article banning virginity certificates was approved by 112 votes to 1. The Senate will begin discussion on the full bill in late March.
