Perinatal lessons from the past
Adolphe Pinard (1844–1934) of Paris and intrauterine paediatric care

Abstract

Pinard was a pioneer of modern perinatal care. His provision of social care to deprived pregnant women progressed to a recognition of the value of medical care of mother and baby before as well as after birth. The creation of antenatal departments and wards in maternity hospitals followed. He also established abdominal obstetric palpation on sound principles.
