I think you may need to specify the location of the prison for the pregnant women you are focusing on because of the differences in criminal justice system of countries of the world. Are you talking about pregnant women in developing countries' prisons or their counterpart?This would really help the practitioners to take into account some relevant needs that work best for the pregnant female prisoners in such country.

First of all, being correct by current culture, woman is the one to make the decision to focus on herself, or the fetus, in first step. (2). If the woman has been prisoned in her own culture or not, because it is an deep influence on the consious,and sub-consious of the mother as being a prisonner rather than a role model (psychological inter tensions).   (3). A. The very vital, and newly researched matter of being inan environment with a completely different kinds of useful-germs to PH-balance, especially in digestive system, in anybody that emmigrates to a distictly far geographical locations. (3).B. The impact of difference in down & dusk, in comparison to her own homeland in comparison climate, because by sun-rise or sun-set, the portion of series of hormons and cortizol changes during day & night (jet lag issue), or the prison's sleep-time schedule; overall effects on the fetus health on daily bases. (5). The age of the fetus is important: in the first three to four months, thr essential organs of its brain, heart bits, as well as skeletal structures and map of the other organs are built; from the fifth month to nine months of pregnancy, it is more on the evolutionary and enlargement route rather than basic structures. (6). The future plan for the mother (by law), and the fetus (after birth) would impact of the baby's neutrition, mother's neotrition-to feed the baby is another issue. (7). The pshchological stand of the mother as being in the environment of captivity, and also the psychology of the child has been raised in jail- condition, would be a permanent factor in hunting the child' future- psychy, in ant culture and community.     

If the pregnant person is under the age of 18 and is not emancipated, the IRB generally requires, consistent with OHRP, that parental permission and child assent be obtained. If the research is therapeutic, and the PD believes that the child’s participation in the research falls into one of the categories under California law where an unemancipated minor is permitted to consent to her own medical care, the PD should confirm this with IRB staff or the IRB legal advisor in the Office of the General Counsel.
