The first issue of Volume 2 of the Journal of Research in Midwifery and Healthcare continues its commitment to disseminating high-quality scientific evidence that advances maternal, neonatal, child, and adolescent health. This edition brings together original research and narrative reviews that emphasize preventive care, health promotion, and innovative non-pharmacological approaches across different stages of the life course.

This issue features an observational study evaluating an animal-based physical exercise program for improving fundamental movement skills in toddlers and a simple observational study exploring infant physical activity as a strategy to support early growth and development. It also presents an experimental study investigating the effects of combined prenatal yoga and structured pregnancy exercise on serum cortisol regulation and active-phase labor duration, alongside a narrative review examining the potential of prenatal yoga in reducing the risk of hypertensive disorders during pregnancy. In addition, this issue includes a narrative review highlighting the expanding role of midwives in providing reproductive and mental health counselling for adolescent girls, underscoring the importance of holistic and preventive care for young people.

Through this collection of articles, the journal aims to strengthen the translation of research evidence into clinical practice, education, and community health programs while fostering interdisciplinary collaboration to improve the health and well-being of women, children, adolescents, and families in diverse healthcare settings.
