An Australian survey exploring pregnancy experiences of specialists and trainees working in anaesthesia received 242 responses describing 549 pregnancies. One hundred and sixty-two (67%) of these respondents were aged 31\u201340 years, 185 (76%) were specialists and 159 (66%) reported one or two pregnancies. Reported pregnancy complication rates were similar to national averages. Potentially harmful exposures included working &gt;40\u2009h per week (\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u2009298, 55%), ionising radiation and unscavenged gases. Other than ergonomic hazards and stress, exposures were not associated with an increase in self-reported complications.

The most common stress contributors were \u2018work-related\u2019, \u2018exams\u2019 and \u2018pregnancy anxiety\u2019. Ninety-one (38%) respondents reported experiencing stigma or negative attitudes toward their pregnancy from anaesthetic colleagues. Overall, 171 (71%) of respondents were satisfied with their experience of working in anaesthesia whilst pregnant. Thematic analysis of free text comments identified three major themes: workplace culture, maternal and fetal wellbeing, and career impacts on both pregnancy and family planning. Development of multilevel mechanisms to guide and support pregnant trainees and specialists in anaesthesia is recommended to address these findings.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0310057x241263116","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,4]],"date-time":"2025-02-04T21:10:41Z","timestamp":1738703441000},"page":"103-115","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Experiences of Australian anaesthetists and anaesthetic trainees of working whilst pregnant: Results of a national survey"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"53","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5411-145X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rosmarin","family":"Zacher","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anaesthesia, Coffs Harbour Health Campus, Australia"},{"name":"School of Medicine, University of NSW, Sydney, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6713-1422","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Isabelle L","family":"Cooper","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anaesthesia and Perioperative Medicine, Barwon Health, University Hospital Geelong, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anna F","family":"Pietzsch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anaesthesia and Perioperative Medicine, Sunshine Coast University Hospital, Australia"},{"name":"School of Medicine and Dentistry, Griffith University, Gold Coast, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lachlan","family":"Webb","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute, Brisbane, Australia"},{"name":"The University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anita M","family":"Pelecanos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute, Brisbane, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6715-9193","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Victoria A","family":"Eley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anaesthesia and Perioperative Medicine, The Royal Brisbane and Women\u2019s Hospital, Brisbane, Australia"},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, The University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_4_2_2","unstructured":"Medical Deans of Australia and New Zealand.
