Pregnancy
For many women, nutritional interventions and supplementation in preparation for pregnancy and childbirth, can begin a year or more before conception. In fact, pre conceptual preparation dates back centuries. Pre conceptual exercise, following a balanced diet, ensuring proper relaxation and a healthy mindset... these were considered necessary measures in order to cleanse and tonify the body and cultivate optimal health for the child.
Folic acid (Folate) and Calcium are the only vitamins/ minerals whose requirements double during pregnancy. Deficiencies in folic acid have been linked to both low birth weight infants and neural tube defects. Supplementation has been shown to effectively prevent these issues in the majority of high risk pregnancies. Folic acid can be found in green leafy vegetables, nuts, whole grains, liver, parsley and dandelion. Low dietary intake of calcium has been shown to correlate with incidence of preeclampsia, characterized by high blood pressure, swelling, and/or protein in the urine. Pre eclampsia poses a significant risk for pre-term delivery and can threaten the life of the mother, and cause much damage to the fetus. Calcium has also been shown effective in decreasing leg cramps, common in late pregnancy. Calcium is said to be better absorbed during pregnancy, that being said, some forms of calcium tend to cause constipation. Some high (and dairy free) sources of calcium include dark leafy green vegetables, asparagus, pumpkin seeds, fresh parsley, raspberry leaf and nettle infusions/teas.
Other essential nutrients that you want to make sure are present in your prenatal vitamin (or diet, if you are choosing to increase your intake of via diet) are:B vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B12 and B6), Vitamin C, Vitamin D3, Vitamin E, Vitamin K, Iron, Magnesium, Potassium, and Zinc).If hemoglobin tests suggest deficiency, iron supplementation may need to go beyond that supplied by your prenatal vitamin.
Separate and increased levels of B6 may be indicated for the treatment of nausea and morning sickness, especially in cases that include substantial vomiting. It is only recommended to use higher doses during the first trimester, as higher doses can lead to decreased breast milk production, and can cause the infant to experience withdrawal seizures, if still at high doses close to delivery. There is some research to suggest that given during labour, B6 increases oxygen carrying capacity of the blood that supplies the fetus. Ginger is another herb that is great for morning sickness and nausea. Just peel a small chunk and let it steep in hot water. Drink as needed.
Probiotics. There is some evidence to suggest that probiotic intake during pregnancy can prevent urogenital infections common to pregnancy (ie; bladder infection/cystitis). There are also studies to suggest that the use of probiotics, more specifically lactobaccillus rhamnosus, may help to prevent group B strep. infections in expecting mothers. Probiotic supplementation during pregnancy and continued in infancy can also decrease incidence of infantile atopic dermatitis. Additionally, probiotics can help to relieve constipation and decrease incidence of heartburn and gas, some of the common and less enjoyable side effects of being 'with child'.
DHA and EPA from Fish Oils. Studies confirm the importance of DHA for healthy brain development. DHA supplementation in pregnancy has been correlated with better hand eye coordination, IQ test scores, motor development and attention span in infancy and childhood. DHA supplementation during pregnancy and while breastfeeding has also been linked to higher birth weight and optimal visual development. There are no official requirements for DHA in pregnancy, although research is suggesting a minimum of 200 -300 mg of DHA/day. This amount can also be obtained easily through incorporating fish into the diet. Look for organic, wild salmon, tilapia, freshwater trout and other fish ranked low in contaminants like mercury.
