Track 2: Human Fertilization
Fertilization is the fusion of haploid gametes, egg and sperm, to form the diploid zygote. Though there can be subtle differences in the fertilization process which occurs naturally within the body or through reproductive technologies outside the body, the overall product in both cases is a diplod zygote. The process of fertilization involves components of, and signaling between, both spermatozoa and oocyte. In addition to in vivo fertilization there are many new in vitro technologies related to human infertility.

Track 3: Pregnancy
Pregnancy is the term used to describe the period in which a fetus develops inside a woman's womb or uterus. Pregnancy has three trimesters, each of which is marked by specific fetal developments. A pregnancy is considered full-term at 40 weeks; infants delivered before the end of week 37 are considered premature. Premature infants may have problems with their growth and development, as well as difficulties in breathing and digesting.

Track 4: Child Birth, Labor and Delivery
Labor is the process of giving birth. Signs that you might be going into labor include: Contractions that are regular then start to come closer together, Leaking fluid or bleeding from the vagina, Low dull backache, Abdominal cramps. Vaginal delivery is the most common and safest type of childbirth. Caesarean delivery (C-section) may be necessary for the safety of the baby, especially if one of these complications is present: if baby is not in the head-down position, if baby is too large to pass through the pelvis and if baby is in distress.

Track 5: Preterm Birth
Preterm Birth is also called preterm labor. It’s when your body starts getting ready for birth too early in your pregnancy. Labor is premature if it starts more than three weeks before your due date. Premature labor can lead to an early birth. But the good news is that doctors can do a lot to delay an early delivery. The longer your baby gets to grow inside you -- right up to your due date -- the less likely he or she is to have problems after birth.

Track 6: Intrapartum Care and Postpartum Care
The time period spanning childbirth, from the onset of labor through delivery of the placenta is referred to as Intrapartum Care. Intrapartum can refer to both the woman and the fetus. It covers the care of women and their babies during labour and immediately after the birth. And, It also covers healthy women with uncomplicated pregnancies entering labour at low risk of developing intrapartum complications. The postpartum period begins after the delivery of the baby and ends when the mother's body has nearly returned to its pre-pregnant state.

Track 7: Labour Induction
Induced labour is when you are given medical treatment to start your labour. Induced labour may be recommended if it would be better for you or your baby for the birth to occur sooner, rather than waiting for labour to start naturally. C-section, also known as cesarean delivery, is a procedure in which a birth doctor delivers an infant through an incision in the mother's abdomen and uterus rather than through the vagina.

Track 8: Pain management during childbirth
Labour and childbirth is usually a painful experience and women vary in their response to it. Some women are keen to avoid drugs or other medical interventions while others are happy to consider all available options. For a woman having her first baby, the experience of labour (and her reaction to it) is unpredictable. Labour can be painful – it can help to learn about all the ways you can relieve the pain. It's also helpful for whoever is going to be with you during your labour to know about the different options, as well as how they can support you.

Track 20: Endocrine Disorders in Pregnancy
Endocrine disorders are significant causes of perioperative morbidity and mortality. Almost, all are linked with changes in fluid and electrolyte homeostasis and hemodynamic alterations from dysfunction of the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal axis. Because nearly all tissues respond to endocrine hormones, endocrine diseases are connected with multisystem disease. Diabetes mellitus and thyroid disease are quite common during pregnancy. Most other endocrine disorders are either very rare or are linked with impaired fertility and consequently occur only rarely in parturients.

Market Analysis
The global fetal and neonatal care market size was valued at USD 6.7 billion in 2016 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.6% over the forecast period. Some of the factors responsible for market growth are the high birth rate in developing countries, rising prevalence of preterm births, and efforts by the government to increase survival rates in such cases. In addition, increasing prevalence of neonatal hospital-acquired infections and rising awareness about neonatal health & care equipment is expected to contribute to the growth.
U.S. fetal & neonatal care equipment market, by product, 2014-2025 (USD Million)
According to the UN Foundation maternal & infant care is a global priority, since around 800 women die every day from preventable causes associated with pregnancy or childbirth. This has led to increased demand for neonatal and fetal care equipment. Furthermore, HAIs are primarily a concern for premature and infants with medical disorders requiring prolonged hospitalization. The WHO data states that 2.7 million stillbirths and 3.1 million neonatal deaths occur worldwide annually. Furthermore, preterm and low weight birth babies are susceptible to many heath risks and require specialized care. Hence, demand for neonatal equipment is expected to grow exponentially.
The largest market for baby consumables in Europe is Germany, with a market value of 1.76 billion euros, closely followed by France with a market value of 1.7 billion euros. Baby consumables consist of items such as diapers, pushchairs or any item that might be useful for raising a baby. Germany saw large growth in baby consumable sales when comparing 2014 to 2015, with an increase of 10.8 percent.
Density of midwifery personnel by region (per 10,000 population)
