#Mom's Diet Linked to Risk of Preterm Birth Pregnant women who eat a diet rich in vegetables fruits
and whole grains and drink plenty of water may have a lower risk of giving birth before their pregnancy reaches full term a large new study from Norway suggests.
Preterm delivery defined as giving birth between 22 and 37 weeks of pregnancy is linked with short-and long-term health problems in children and accounts for nearly 75 percent of all newborn deaths according to the study.
Pregnant women in the new study who ate either a diet of fruits veggies and whole grains or a diet of boiled potatoes and fish were less likely to have a preterm birth compared with women
whose diets included salty and sweet snacks and processed meat researchers reported today (March 4) in the journal BMJ.
and preterm birth the researchers said. We don't completely understand preterm labor and nutrition is only one factor said Christine Metz an obstetrics researcher at The Feinstein Institute for Medical Research in Manhasset N y. who was involved not in the study.
The biggest risk factor for preterm labor is having a previous preterm birth though factors such as smoking alcohol or drug use inadequate prenatal care
8 Odd Changes That Happen During Pregnancy The new study was based on data from the Norwegian Mother and Child Cohort Study
which includes 66000 Norwegian women who gave birth between 2002 and 2008. The women completed a questionnaire about their dietary habits during the first four to five months of pregnancy.
Women who had diabetes and those who did not deliver a single live baby were excluded from the study.
Preterm births occurred in 3505 women or 5. 3 percent of those in the study.
Eating the prudent diet was linked to a lower risk of preterm birth especially for women who were having their first baby the analysis showed.
It may be more important for pregnant women to consume more healthy foods than it is to cut out junk food
The findings reinforce existing nutrition guidelines for pregnant women but they don't establish a causal relationship between diet

And more than 60 other companies are working to move their pork suppliers away from gestation crates for breeding sows.
Sows routinely confined in gestation crates display behavioral abnormalities such as bar-biting and aggression caused by the environmental deficiencies and restricted feeding regimens.
When the Prairie Swine Center a prestigious pork-industry research firm compared animal housing systems that confine pigs in gestation crates with group housing
when sows are confined not throughout gestation. Science reveals that locking animals in cages barely larger than their own bodies is detrimental to their welfare.
If you put two opposite gender hamsters into a cage together the female will become pregnant very quickly.

Seniors vegans and pregnant women are especially prone to Vitamin b12 deficiency. People may not realize Vitamin b12 is missing from their diets
Pregnancy can also lower Vitamin b12 levels as can hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) if it causes the person to produce too much body heat according to the NIH.
Pregnant or breastfeeding women who do not get enough Vitamin b12 may cause their babies to have low Vitamin b12 levels.
Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding need more about 2. 8 micrograms a day according to recommendations from the National institutes of health's Office of Dietary Supplements.

#Pregnancy Diet & Nutrition: What to Eat, What Not to Eat What a woman eats
and drinks during pregnancy is her baby's main source of nourishment. So experts recommend that a mother-to-be choose a variety of healthy foods
A pregnant woman needs more calcium folic acid iron and protein than a woman who is not expecting according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG.
For that reason the March of Dimes an organization dedicated to preventing birth defects recommends that women who are trying to have a baby take a daily vitamin supplement containing 400 micrograms of folic acid per day for at least one month before becoming pregnant.
During pregnancy they advise women to increase the amount of folic acid to 600 micrograms a day an amount commonly found in a daily prenatal vitamin.
If a pregnant woman does not consume enough calcium the mineral will be drawn from the mother's stores in her bones
and given to the baby to meet the extra demands of pregnancy explains the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
Pregnant women age 19 and over need 1000 milligrams of calcium a day; pregnant teens ages 14 to 18 need 1300 milligrams daily according to ACOG.
Food sources: milk yogurt cheese calcium-fortified juices and foods sardines or salmon with bones some leafy greens (kale bok choy.
Pregnant women need 27 milligrams of iron a day which is double the amount needed by women who are not expecting according to ACOG.
Getting too little iron during pregnancy can lead to anemia a condition resulting in fatigue and an increased risk of infections.
More protein is needed during pregnancy but most women don't have problems getting enough of these foods in their diets said Sarah Krieger a registered dietitian and spokeswoman on prenatal nutrition for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics in St petersburg Florida.
During pregnancy the goal is to be eating nutritious foods most of the time Krieger told Live Science.
When counseling pregnant women Krieger recommends they fill half their plates with fruits and vegetables a quarter of it with whole grains and a quarter of it with a source of lean protein and to also have a dairy product at every meal.
Pregnant women should focus on fruits and vegetables particularly during the second and third trimesters Krieger said.
Pregnant women should include good protein sources at every meal to support the baby's growth such as meat poultry fish eggs beans tofu cheese milk and nuts Krieger said.
At least half of a pregnant woman's carbohydrate choices each day should come from whole grains such as oatmeal whole-wheat pasta
In addition to a healthy diet pregnant women also need a daily prenatal vitamin to obtain some of the nutrients that are hard to get from foods alone such as folic acid and iron according to ACOG.
Detailed information on healthy food choices and quantities to include at meals can also be found in the pregnancy section of the USDA's choosemyplate. gov. Caffeine:
which is the amount found in one 12-ounce cup of coffee is considered generally safe during pregnancy according to a 2010 ACOG committee opinion which was reaffirmed in 2013.
The committee report said moderate caffeine consumption does not appear to contribute to miscarriage or premature birth.
It is safe for pregnant women to eat 12 ounces of cooked fish and seafood a week according to ACOG.
and is safer to eat during pregnancy. Alcohol: Avoid alcohol during pregnancy Krieger advised. Alcohol in the mother's blood can pass directly to the baby through the umbilical cord.
Heavy use of alcohol during pregnancy has been linked with fetal alcohol spectrum disorders a group of conditions that can include physical problems as well as learning and behavioral difficulties in babies and children according to the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC. Fish with high levels of mercury: Seafood such as swordfish shark king mackerel and tilefish are high in levels of methyl mercury according to the Academy of Nutrition
According to the USDA pregnant women are at high risk of getting sick from two different types of food poisoning:
To avoid listeriosis the USDA recommends forgoing the following foods during pregnancy: Raw meat: A mother can pass a Toxoplasma infection on to her baby
To avoid toxoplasmosis the USDA recommends avoiding the following foods during pregnancy: Some foods may increase a pregnant woman's risk for other types of food poisoning including illness caused by salmonella and E coli bacteria.
Foodsafety. gov lists these foods to avoid during pregnancy and why they pose a threat.
Morning sickness When a mother-to-be is experiencing morning sickness the biggest mistake she can make is thinking that
It can bring on waves of nausea and vomiting in some women especially during the first three months of pregnancy.
Food cravings It is common for women to develop a sudden urge or a strong dislike for a food during pregnancy.
Eating for two When people say that a pregnant woman is eating for two it doesn't mean she needs to consume twice as much food or double her calories.
During the first three months Krieger tells women that their calorie needs are basically the same as they were before pregnancy
because weight gain is recommended to be between 1 and 4 pounds in this early stage of pregnancy.
Krieger typically advises pregnant women to add 200 calories to their usual dietary intake during the second trimester
Weight gain during pregnancy often has an ebb and a flow over the nine months Krieger said.
It's hard to measure where pregnancy weight is said going she adding that a scale does not reveal
When it comes to pregnancy weight gain Krieger advises mothers-to-be to look at the big picture:
The total number of calories needed per day during pregnancy depends on a woman's height her weight before becoming pregnant
and how active she is on a daily basis. In general underweight women need more calories during pregnancy;
The Institute of Medicine (IOM) guidelines for total weight gain during a full-term pregnancy recommend that:
Rate of weight gain The IOM guidelines suggest that pregnant women gain between 1 and 4. 5 lbs.
0. 45 to 2 kg) total during their first trimester of pregnancy. The guidelines recommend that underweight and normal-weight women gain on average about 1 pound every week during their second and third trimesters of pregnancy
and that overweight and obese women gain about half a pound every week in their second and third trimesters of pregnancy.
Twins The IOM guidelines for pregnancy weight gain when a woman is having twins are as follows:

#Trying to Conceive How to Get Pregnant Having a child can be one of the most joyous experiences in one's life.
For a woman trying to get pregnant there are a number of ways to increase the chances
Before trying to get pregnant it's important to understand exactly the best time for this to happen.
when pregnancy occurs so it's important for a woman trying to conceive to understand her ovulation cycle.
Though a special diet is required not to get pregnant it can certainly help a woman's chances.
Certain nutrients can help ready your body for pregnancy while other foods and drink can lower your chances of getting pregnant.
Caffeine has not been proven to affect a woman's ability to get pregnant but it still should be consumed in moderation.
The American Pregnancy Association notes that caffeine can block the body's ability to absorb iron and calcium
which are key nutrients for pregnant women. Before pregnancy the menstrual cycle can strip the body of iron as well so it's important for women trying to get pregnant to load up on iron either through meat or multivitamins.
Refined carbs should be avoided. When carbs are processed key nutrients are stripped from the grain including antioxidants B vitamins and iron all of
which boost fertility. Whole grains are much more conducive to helping the body get ready to conceive as they contain many more nutrients than refined carbs such as white bread white rice and pasta.
Consuming fresh vegetables and fruits can help boost a woman's chances of getting pregnant.
The male sperm count definitely impacts the chances of pregnancy. To stay at an optimal sperm count men should be of a healthy weight keep folate levels high stop smoking
when it announced plans to eliminate gestation crates from its supply system. Gestation crates are tiny cages that confine pigs so restrictively they can barely move an inch during their entire lives.
The crates about two feet wide by seven feet long are roughly the same dimensions as a pregnant sow s own body preventing her from even turning around.
The life cycle of a confined breeding sow is as such: the animal is locked inside a gestation crate and impregnated.
For the four months she is gestating the sow lingers in the cage essentially immobilized day and night.
and put back into a gestation crate. The cycle repeats for nearly four years after which the animal is sent to slaughter.
and about 60 others have announced they intend to drop from their supply chains pork producers that use gestation crates.
For example when the Prairie Swine Center a prestigious pork industry research firm compared animal housing systems that confine pigs in gestation crates with group housing
when sows are confined not throughout gestation. As the report found Research comparing group housed sows to those in crates found that the animals unable to exercise due to stall confinement have lower bone strength muscle mass and decreased physical fitness and cardiovascular health.#
and normal behaviors including swine gestation crates.##Science plus consumer support have motivated some major pork producers to move toward group housing.
In 2007 Smithfield foods the world's largest pork producer announced that it would eliminate gestation crates from all company-owned barns;
and engage in other natural behaviors that gestation-crate confinement prevents. As encouraging as this movement is it still is not universal.
Scientists veterinarians and the world's largest food brands not to mention several top producers like Cargill have made it clear that gestation crates are outdated and on their way out.

The ultimate aim is to improve honeybee pollination and productivity on farms as well as help us monitor for any biosecurity threats including Colony Collapse Disorder a global phenomenon where worker bees from a beehive
Baby sloths have a gestation of five to six months for some types sloths and as much as 11.5 months for others such as the Hoffman's two-toed sloth.
They ride around clinging to their mother's belly for several weeks after birth. Even after they stop dangling from their mother little sloths stay by their mother's side for up to four years.
Once a female chinchilla becomes pregnant she will carry her young for about 111 days before giving birth.
Constipation is caused by many factors such as poor diet dehydration lack of exercise jet lag or diet change while traveling pregnancy and certain medications.
For example last fall the Indianapolis Zoo gathered 96 school children for a group picture to promote greater awareness of the elephant-poaching crisis. The Houston Zoo is incorporating campaign messaging into its promotion of the birth
Loss of habitat and agricultural environments as well as the widespread use of pesticides and chemicals in farming are believed to be contributing to the current bee crisis throughout the United states. The value of pollination to agriculture is estimated at more than $200 billion each year worldwide
Once pregnant females will have a gestation period of 147 to 180 days. She will give birth to one to three babies called kids at a time.
Right after birth a kid is very alert and can jump around. After four weeks it is ready to join the other kids in the group.
The year of his birth is unknown; he died in A d. 219 or 220. Guan lived at a time when the Han Dynasty
#Pregnant Women May Lack Info on Household Toxins Pregnant women could be missing out on information about how environmental toxins may affect their unborn babies new research suggests.
The researchers noted that a 2011 study of more than 250 pregnant women found that all of them carried environmental chemicals in their bodies that could be passed onto the fetus.
Household cleaners are one of the main toxins pregnant women can try to avoid Stotland said.
Pregnant women can also avoid microwaving their food in plastic containers. Many plastics release toxic chemicals such as vinyl chloride
Other women not just those who are need pregnant to know about environmental chemicals too Conry said.
About 50 percent of pregnancies are planned not so we need to make sure all women are aware of healthy lifestyle decisions she said.
