Giving the mother a single injection of Vitamin b12 during pregnancy was enough to prevent stunted growth and the onset of osteoporosis in the offspring.
By contrast ensuring an adequate Vitamin d input to the mother during pregnancy and lactation is almost certainly the best way to meet the needs of both individuals.
--thus partially accounting for acne flare-ups in teens and pregnant women--and heredity can be a factor
#Poor diet before pregnancy linked with preterm birthuniversity of Adelaide research has confirmed for the first time that women who eat a poor diet before they become pregnant are around 50%more likely to have a preterm birth than those on a healthy diet.
Researchers at the University of Adelaide's Robinson Research Institute investigated the dietary patterns of more than 300 South Australian women to better understand their eating habits before pregnancy.

and death and occurs in approximately one in 10 pregnancies globally. Anything we can do to better understand the conditions that lead to preterm birth will be important in helping to improve survival and long-term health outcomes for children says the lead author of the paper Dr Jessica Grieger Posdoctoral Research Fellow with the Robinson
It is important to consume a healthy diet before as well as during pregnancy to support the best outcomes for the mum and baby Dr Grieger says.
We hope our work will help promote a healthy diet before and during pregnancy. This will help to reduce the number of neonatal deaths
Sows produce antibodies for their offspringto stimulate antibody production against Cystoisospora suis in sows researchers exposed pregnant sows to infectious stages (oocysts) of the parasite two weeks before parturition.
Growing evidence suggests that smoking during pregnancy may increase the risk of psychopathology such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD.
Therefore our findings strengthen the importance of smoking cessation programs for pregnant women and women planning to become pregnant to minimize prenatal exposure to tobacco smoke by the offspring researchers noted.

In pregnant women it can lead to miscarriage or stillbirth. Therefore experts recommend pregnant women to avoid raw milk raw meat and raw fish products.

#UV exposure found to lower folate levels in young womenwomen who are pregnant or trying to fall pregnant and taking a folic acid supplement may be at risk of reducing their folate benefit through sun exposure a new QUT study has warned.
In a paper titled Exposure to solar ultraviolet radiation is associated with decreased folate status in women of childbearing age published in the Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology B:
and during pregnancy Professor Kimlin said. Folate has been found to reduce miscarriage and neural tube defects such as spina bifida in unborn babies.
The NHMRC recommends pregnant women or those planning a pregnancy take 500 micrograms a day.
Professor Kimlin said the study which was the first to investigate the effects of sun exposure on folate levels in women of childbearing age found women who had high levels of sun exposure had folate levels below those recommended for women considering pregnancy.
The women at risk were those who were outside during the most UV intense time of the day between 10am
and the importance of folate in their diet especially those who are planning a pregnancy Dr Borradale said.
The results of this study reinforce the need for adequate folate levels prior to and during pregnancy.
Folic acid is A b vitamin that is very important for pregnant women and those planning a baby.
#Half of pregnant women are passive smokers, due above all to their partners, Spanish study findsas shown in a study carried out by researchers at 13 research centres in Asturias Gipuzkoa Sabadell
and Valencia over half of nonsmoking pregnant women 55%are passive smokers. These women are under the effect of tobacco smoke to a considerable extent
which nonsmoking pregnant women from Asturias Gipuzkoa Sabadell and Valencia are exposed to tobacco smoke. To find out about tobacco exposure researchers based themselves on urine samples collected during the medical check-up in the third trimester of pregnancy
and on the responses the women gave to a set of questions. They studied 1783 women after rejecting another 480 who had displayed signs of being smokers according to their urine samples and the results of the surveys.
when pregnant women are under the effect of it said Juanjo Aurrekoetxea; he is a researcher at the UPV/EHU's department of Preventative Medicine and Public health as well as a participant in the research.
when they become pregnant although 22%of pregnant women continue smoking. If the 55%of nonsmoking passive smokers are added to that Aurrekoetxea stresses that the message is not getting through.
Health education is crucial for protecting women and fetuses in particular. Cotinine the tobacco markerin the set of questions that the women in the study responded to they were asked about the lifestyles that could be linked to tobacco for example in
or not to force pregnant women to breathe tobacco smoke either. As the study was carried out between 2004 and 2008 they were able to measure the effect of the law of 2006 banning smoking.
Specifically the level of cotinine in the pregnant women analysed in the study fell 16%.
In the case of pregnant women in Gipuzkoa exposure on the whole was found to be lower;
Although these findings cannot establish causality they support dietary advice to pregnant women to eat a balanced diet including vegetables fruit whole grains
Preterm delivery (before 37 weeks of pregnancy) is associated with significant short and long term ill-health and accounts for almost 75%of all newborn deaths.
and completed a validated food frequency questionnaire on dietary habits during the first four to five months of pregnancy.
Preterm delivery was defined as delivery between 22 and<37 weeks of pregnancy. The researchers identified three distinct dietary patterns interpreted as prudent (vegetables fruits oils water as a beverage whole grain cereals poultry fibre rich bread) Western
Among the 66000 pregnant women preterm delivery occurred in 3505 (5. 3%)cases. After adjusting for several confounding factors the team found that an overall prudent dietary pattern was associated with a significantly reduced risk of preterm delivery especially among women having their first baby as well as spontaneous and late preterm delivery.
In an accompanying editorial Professor Lucilla Poston at King's college London says healthy eating in pregnancy is always a good idea.
therefore be well advised to reinforce the message that pregnant women eat a healthy diet. Story Source:
the female's color or the behavior that accompanies different reproductive statuses. Females at different reproductive stages--fertile pregnant
Pregnant females retain their coloration until laying and very large orange spots suggest the female is swollen with eggs
But male behavior was determined more strongly by the female's reproductive status. Males also mated more frequently with fertile females than pregnant ones or those outside of the breeding cycle.
Frustrated males often behaved aggressively--with chases and bites--towards pregnant females. If males persist with sexually aggressive behavior pregnant females have a final ace up their sleeves--they flip over onto their backs
and display their orange patterning This position prevents copulation and the bright orange color displayed is believed to have added the benefit of confusing

if this was true becoming pregnant with a daughter might influence milk production even in an ongoing lactation.

The milks derived from nuts are recommended especially for pregnant women because of its richness in folic acid and its good calcium/phosphorus ratio.
