yvonne skogsdal has been a registered nurse since 1984, and a registered midwife since 1996. She received a Master´s degree in nursing in 2014. Yvonne has worked as a coordination midwife since 2009 at Region Örebro län, Sweden, and she has also been a member of the Swedish Pregnancy Register since 2011. In November 2014, she was registered as a PhD student at the School of Medicine and Health, Örebro University, Sweden.
Yvonne Skogsdal is interested in women´s health and lifestyle before pregnancy, since it can affect fertility, pregnancy and the coming child. In this thesis, we have evaluated the Reproductive Life Plan (RLP), which is a discussion tool to use in counselling about preconception health. We have also investigated the association between tobacco and alcohol habits and the risk of spontaneous abortion and other pregnancy outcomes.
