The key to predicting a progesterone early birth. The hormone has anti-inflammatory properties that is, without relief bacterial infections, one of the possible causes of preterm birth. Scientists have low progesterone in the saliva of women in the labor market before 34 Gestation found.

According to the authors of the tests, such as saliva, "easy to without a needle or blood together," said the coordinator of the research group Lucilla Poston, late in the future, time for life-saving therapies, treatments with steroids to. Better development of the lungs of premature infants

Alcoholic Beverages During Pregnancy

The consumption of alcoholic beverages during pregnancy and low birth weight of the baby as a result of poor sleep quality and increased risk of sleep disorders in children under eight years: it is the result of a study by Finnish researchers conducted the University of Helsinki and published in Sleep , the journal of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies'.

Were testing 289 children prematurely subjected born between March and November 1998: the duration and quality of sleep was measured with actigrafi and evaluated by means of questionnaires that they parents who reported a decreased respiratory and subjected restlessness during sleep .

"The response from the tests on the groove` fetal origins hypothesis our health have been carried out - says Katri Raikkonen, who coordianto study -. And a further confirmation of the theory that, the living conditions in the prenatal period provides advance the behavior

This finding has interesting implications studies: l `insomnia associated child indeed with diseases such as obesity, depression, disorders of` attention and hyperactivity, poor neurological function.

No Wine When Pregnancy

Alcohol consumption during pregnancy is a major cause of mental retardation in children in Western countries, but not as the alcoholic beverage of choice wine is due to the properties of the compounds such as polyphenols and anthocyanins, is capable of. The toxic effects `limit of ethanol To prove that a study by the Institute of Neurobiology and Molecular Medicine, National Research Council of Rome (INMM-CNR) was carried out in collaboration with the National Institute for Health and the Center alcologico the Lazio Region, by Mark Fiore.

During pregnancy, the `alcohol toxic because damage the placenta, ethanol, growth and weight of the fetus, permanent damage to the central nervous system in the development and deformation of cells and brain structural and functional consequences and cognitive (memory loss, attention deficits, impulsive behavior ). Red wine seems to reduce the toxicity of ethanol `:" We have exposed a model of fetal alcohol syndrome in mice during pregnancy and lactation ethanol content in alcoholic solution of water and red wine, both alcohol content of 11% - said Fiore -. . A comparison shows the differences in toxicity in mice induced a very high alcohol solution, little or nothing in the exposed red "Research data, explains the` experts showed that in mice of mothers exposed only red wine is not shown that cognitive problems and liver damage is observed or is minimized when ethanol is administered as red wine.


The study points to the `experts explain why, in the Mediterranean countries of the region, where there is a greater consumption of red wine, the" fetal alcohol syndrome rarer than the other industrialized countries where the consumption of alcohol during pregnancy, especially based on other alcoholic beverages. "Be warned, however, researchers caution during pregnancy and lactation, alcohol should always be avoided. Red wine contains.

If The Mother Infidelity

Fewer complications during pregnancy, if you remain faithful to their partners. This is indicated by the study in the Journal of Reproductive Immunology by researchers at the University of Auckland, New Zealand proved published protect that a sustainable relationship with the biological father of the child, new mothers from the risk of preeclampsia.
 
During the search, to 2,507 pregnant women found that women who had had sexual relations with the father of the unborn child, less than gestational diabetes suffered illnesses - such as pre-eclampsia - than those who had changed partners. In addition, mothers who had relations "volatile", ie, less than six months were more likely to give birth to premature or underweight children.
 
According to scientists, this is due to the fact that the immune system of women have "believers" durable, the sex - and without contraceptives - the biological father of the child, a kind of tolerance to the antigens in the sperm of the father developed. However, problems arise when a pregnancy in women partners is changing in contact with various biological materials, where the antibodies are not in an appropriate manner.

Festival of Women's Health

Twenty pavilion, informative and video exhibit chronic direct, immediate information about the problems, the most important to come to the woman, nutrition, health, wellness, generic, information on bone problems such as arthritis and osteoporosis, alternative therapies, diabetes, skin problems, pain. Not to forget to mention the great themes of health pink, connected as pregnancy, lactation and infancy and disorders with womanhood. Diseases of the breast and uterus It opened this morning in Milan at the Museum of Science and Technology, was the first festival of women's health to Onda (National Observatory for Women's Health), funded by the City of Milan and under the auspices of the Ministry of Social Affairs, and Equal Opportunities the Lombardy region.

"Our museum - the vice president of the National Museum of Science and Technology Massimo Sordi - is always the center of the discussion on topical issues in the form of meetings between experts and the public, this meeting is the sharing of knowledge and experiences between the expertise of. scientists and non-expert knowledge of the people. "

"The definition of Festival - explained Francesca Merzagora, president of Onda - has a positive and proactive value to the world of the women we know from experience that they devote not enough time, their health, responsible for the welfare of her husband.. children and elderly parents, and often can not hear any signs of discomfort. In recent years, there have besides taking care of the house, and women a job, the possibilities are further reduced. "An event for women of all ages is directed, but not only. There is also space for the children and the family: "Because if a mother - still in the middle of the family - you get sick, it is important that her husband and children are aware of."

About Baby

Pregnancy is not a forgetful women: the myth that the brain will suffer from a loss of pregnant women exposed recordings performed by a study by researchers at the Australian National University in `Helen Christensen. The study, whose results were published in the British Journal of Psychiatry, was conducted on 1,241 women aged between 20 and 24 years and the results showed no significant changes in memory and mental agility show 'Women in the sweet waiting.
 
Scientists have discovered that women suffer no memory disorders during pregnancy. "The problem is that pregnancy manuals say that women tend to have problems with memory and concentration, - explains Christensen -. Why women and their partners can be ready for the pregnancy to every small mistake"
What happens, in fact, "is that to happen pregnant women shift their attention from the work at those related to pregnancy and childbirth, and it is possible that you` off as ordinary tasks and - ends Christensen -. However, this shift of labeled adaptive attentional focus, and done even less than `` cognitive disorders are as yet ".

Sweets, Spicy Foods, Save for Pregnant Women?

Ice cream, chocolate, fruit: These are the foods at the top of the mind and "wishes" of pregnant women. According to a study from the website gurgle.com performed and filmed by the BBC online, it seems that three-quarters of pregnant women experience at least one mole. An army compared to 30% of the "fifty years ago. And seduce pregnant women not only sweet and fresh fruit. 

Besides these, there are delicacies such as cakes, sweets, spicy foods, peanuts and chips, but also bizarre combinations such as tuna and banana , or fried eggs with mint sauce. And as the needs of mothers, according to tradition, are always happy, not "trauma" to the baby, it is much more difficult to deal with some really extraordinary passion for the detergent or toothpaste. In Indeed, it seems that in one third of cases (about 31%) who do not feel like eating, but things like ice cream (22%), coal ((17%), toothpaste (9%), sponges 8% ), soap washing (5%), and rubber (1%).

`When examined under the microscope, habits, passions and desires of 2,200 British women were gone. Result: The favorite food in the nine months of pregnancy of the mother is chocolate, followed by ice cream and candy. The cravings are especially in the afternoon (40%) or evening (38%), awake with only 8% of pregnant women until midnight snacks. Why the cravings have become so common? By Fiona Ford of the University of Sheffield, the wide availability of snacks and makes it easier to expectant mothers meet the food demands as they arise. While the desire of foreign matters, such as toothpaste or soap of the tester is to the taste and the texture of the objects linked instead of the aroma.The share of non-food cravings in the list of sfaterebbe the theory that the wishes of the pregnant women are affected by malnutrition.

Eating Food During Birth

Women should be able to eat and what YOU want to drink during labor YOU: Support is a study door a group of researchers from the East London Hospital Complex, East London `(South Africa), directed by Mandisa Singata and published Cochrane Systematic Review, after which the traditional practice of banning the recruitment of women die giving birth fluids and food during labor has no scientific basis, if pregnant women do not need anesthesia and has no effect on the risk of complications.
 
The last century has been eating and drinking during labor ALS as dangerous because of the damage - death - IF because of "the syndrome of Mendelson" pneumonia tag advocates `inhalation of regurgitated food because of stomach juices have day a toxic effect of the lung (event day, can during "general anesthesia for caesarean occur). Recently, however, attitudes began to change yOU and many maternity units in the TRAF Names UK, women are now allowed, yOU eat and drink what they want.
 
While researchers have analyzed are from 3130 pregnant women who eat die die between them and drink at will, die alone drunk water, and those who die on specific products are abundantly compensated fluids and carbohydrates divided. Large suggested that "there is no salvation, the Full fasting pregnant YOU AS justify at a low risk of complications and anesthesia - Mandisa explains Singata -. Parturients be able to drink for themselves the food during the work of select not. "
Pregnant women at risk for anesthesia, the researchers explain IS no assurance, however, that eating and drinking are not dangerous.

Smoking When Pregnant

Smoking when pregnant harms your baby seriously. To emphasize the prohibition of smoking during pregnancy, is a study in `Ankara University School of Medicine, which found that women who smoke pass on their unborn children a small amount of vitamin E and other antioxidants than their mothers tabagiste.
That toxic substances in tobacco smoke that the mother made directly through the vessels of the umbilical cord of the child already is known in the scientific community. And, yes, you know that nicotine leads to a reduction of blood flow to the `uterus and placenta, and thus a lower supply of nutrients to the fetus.
Ankara scientists now have a step further. The analysis of blood samples from the day of birth of a sample of 20 women who smoke, and 20 Non smoking, the researchers initially observed the concentration of antioxidants in the blood of the "mothers nicotine", is lower compared to mothers without the habit of smoking.

This difference was then compared to the health of children, after seven days of birth. It is at this point that the `unexpected result out: they were found to be the level of antioxidants in the urine of infants and breast milk of smoking mothers is much lower than those of mothers who grew up in the bosom of your own little away from nicotine.

Especially the scientists explain, smoking during pregnancy can lead to a reduction in the concentrations of vitamin E in human milk. It is a molecule that is an important antioxidant effect can also ask `the baby against the risk of cancer does protect. Besides running the greatest risk of asthma, are babies of mothers who smoke are less well protected against cancer.
Despite education campaigns about the dangers of smoking during pregnancy, according to the Italian League for the Fight against Cancer (Lilt), about 38% of Italian women continue to smoke during pregnancy. In fact, had to smoke even though six of the ten mothers, limited to about 30% of the daily amount of cigarettes to more than 7% is to reduce smoking the same number to the period before pregnancy.

Passive smoking Not Good for Pregnant

Women are exposed to passive smoking at a young age have a higher risk of developing problems during pregnancy. This is published by the study in Tobacco Control and conducted by researchers at the "University of Rochester in New York proves showed before that in women, the correlation between exposure to secondhand smoke and an increased difficulty level and during the gestation period
.
The study was conducted on 4800 women at the Roswell Park Cancer Institute from 1982 to 1998, the invited were conducted to respond to a questionnaire on the state of pregnancy trying to get pregnant and all miscarriages against in relation to their use of cigarettes and exposure to tobacco smoke .
The data showed that 40% of women reported a number of problems during pregnancy and motherhood: some were unable to get pregnant, while others the loss of the fetus, 11, 3% suffer from discomfort during pregnancy, have suffered, while 32 % had multiple miscarriages.

The researchers found that the women studied were four of the exposed five to parental smoking when they were young and only a 26% greater risk of non-pregnant, and so, as in the past, continue to smoke in the house ran a, 39% risk of miscarriage.
According to scientists, it is possible that passive smoking with the normal functioning of hormones disturbs involved in fertility and pregnancy, so it is necessary that all women. Before exposure to age, to protect the right for reproductive development

Pregnant : No more Smoke for Baby Health

Pregnant women who stop smoking with the habit during pregnancy gave birth to healthy children, and with the same weight as those of mothers who do not smoke. This goes on from a study of Nick Macklon University of Southampton (UK) at the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology meeting in Stockholm (Sweden), indicating that the negative effects of smoking, the baby on the way, you can "Cancel" if you quit the habit during pregnancy.

Decreased birth weight is the most common effect of smoking during pregnancy, which in some cases. Risk of preterm birth and disorders related to the development of the brain Mothers who smoke, the researchers said, have always been encouraged to give up smoking again and became pregnant, although until now there was little evidence that the object could have positive effects on the unborn child in the last minute.

The result comes from a study of 50 000 pregnant women from the University Medical Centre in Southampton from 2002 to 2010 were followed, the researchers identified seven groups of women - Non smoking, who for more than a year to before conception closing, which was less than a year before conception, which was confirmed after the pregnancy stopped, further comprising up to 10 cigarettes a day, between 10 and 20 per day, more than 20 stops per day -. and are the data collected, the parameters of the newborn

After adjusting the results for other factors known that the properties of the baby at birth - gestational age, weight and age of the mother and the socio-economic class - the researchers found that children whose mothers had stopped smoking during the period " periconceptional "- or the time when they thought they were pregnant or as soon as pregnancy is confirmed - they were was born with a birth weight were significantly higher in children who smoke whose mothers continue, and similar to the offspring of women who never even smoked. "Not only was birth weight is much higher than among children of mothers who had to continue to smoke, was - explained Macklon - but we also have found that babies born the same gestational age and the same head circumference than those achieved by women had never smoked.

Pregnancy save : No More Eat

"Eating for two" in pregnancy increases the risk that the child develops a low IQ, eating disorders and psychosis. This according to a study published in Obesity Reviews by researchers at McMaster University in Hamilton, Canada.

During the investigation, the experts, the results of 12 studies on numerous subjects whose mothers were waiting when they had examined a balanced diet or followed excessive. After the analysis showed that the children of women who are pregnant, had too much to eat, when to grow them at higher risk of the development during childhood was, disorders of attention, and IQ made ​​as a teenager, to an expression five points lower than the average. That's not all: Always in adolescence, these subjects showed a more than 11% chance of eating disorders, and as an adult, a 24% greater risk of developing a form of schizophrenia.

Even if you are not able to explain why. Researchers that are at the root of these problems, hormonal changes, circulation and immune system, which can speculate caused by obesity during pregnancy

Pregnancy and Smoke about The Risk

Researchers from University College London (UK), Allan Hackshaw led for the first time shown that smoking during pregnancy is very harmful for the fetus: the vice of cigarettes may, in fact, to various malformations, including heart defects, abnormalities of the limbs, clubfoot , gastrointestinal disorders and lips. To this end, all the studies carried out on this subject in the last 50 years for a total of 173,687 valuation analyzes malformations. The results are published in Human Reproduction Update.

According to Michael Katz, vice president of the March of Dime, a nonprofit organization for pregnancy and baby health smokers find it difficult to comprehend. The smoke also increases the risk for the birth of a dead baby and premature birth if they exposed the baby to identify problems such as cerebral palsy and learning disabilities.

Katz explains that present during pregnancy, the chemicals in the smoke - including nicotine, carbon monoxide and tar - the child of the oxygen they need to grow and steal in a healthy way to develop. And the problems do not spare the pregnant women with an ectopic pregnancy, vaginal bleeding and removal of the placenta.

In this type of setting, the child has the called jaundice in infants. occasionally. Infections in urine or under the influence child thyroid and other rare disease that can lead to the same kind of problems.

Breast milk jaundice peaks at 10 - 21 days but it can be 2-3 months. turn to what you might think, is breast milk jaundice normally. Seldom, if ever, makes breast feeding should be stopped, even for a short period.

Adapted Child get Breastfeeding

Not only does breastfeeding simply adopted the baby, it is likely that large amounts of milk. It is not complicated to make, even if it is different lactation baby you were pregnant for 9 months.

Breastfeeding have two targets involved in breastfeeding an adopted child. the first you to feed baby, and other enough milk.

There's more to not breast milk only, that is why many women who like to eat without expecting to produce milk on the way children need. And "close and colume is expected that many mothers breastfeed looking.

Baby-system matures, will begin his body they are antibodies, and he will be better prepared managing food hypersensitivity.

Unlike the formula, breast milk is always ready, always available, affordable, and always the right temperaturefor the power supply. It also contains all the vitamins
Mineral and needs of a growing child store, a lot of money.

We are also know that breastfeeding has many benefits for mothers as well. Infants breast sucking cause contraction immediately after birth, which means less to bleeding in the mother and helping her uterus to the faster pre-pregnancy shape.

No Diet for Mothers Pregnancy

Food can be little in the first half of pregnancy other people harm brain development of the unborn child as a study by researchers at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (Texas, USA) is carried out in collaboration with the South-West Foundation for Biomedical Research (SFBR) in San Antonio and the Friedrich Schiller University Jena (Germany), after which the fetal brain. sensitive to even modest reduction in the maternal diet
 
The study was conducted on two groups of baboon mothers: one of them was so much he wanted to eat, while the other was induced to follow a diet of 30% less than the adequate daily intake. The researchers found babbuine in fetuses "on a diet" in the first half of pregnancy, reduces the formation of cell-cell connections, cell division and reduced lower levels of growth factors compared with fetuses babbuine fed normally. "This is a time window in which they can develop many different neurons and supporting cells in the brain," said Peter Nathanielsz, University of Texas, who participated in the study.
 
"We have found - Laura Cox of claims SFBR -. A disturbed hundreds of genes, many of which are known to inhibit the growth and the cell, which means that regulate that diet plays an important role in the development of the fetus shows"

Obesity Before and During Pregnancy

Obesity before and during pregnancy is not only a threat to the health of the mother, but also the future children, as adults, are more susceptible to high blood pressure, hyperglycemia and high cholesterol. To discover the relationship between the body mass index of the mother, the pounds during pregnancy and cardiovascular risk factors in the offspring study collected a collaboration between the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (Israel) and the University of Washington (Seattle, USA), published in the journal Circulation.
 
Evaluated born looking Hagit Hochner and colleagues, the health of 1,400 people in Jerusalem between 1974 and 1976. The researchers found that at the age of thirty years, the children of women who are overweight to great weight problems, a wider waist, blood pressure (both minimum and maximum) and higher levels of insulin and triglycerides tend to rotate. Conversely, lower levels of these individuals from the so-called "good" cholesterol. Then, when the mother during pregnancy over 14 pounds of fat, the body mass index of the child is substantially higher than that detected when. Expectant mothers fat of less than 9 pounds

Hochner said the discovery emphasizes that "we now know that events early in the life of the fetus in the long-term consequences for the health of adults"

Food for Pregnancy

Eat salmon during pregnancy increases the levels of omega-3 in human breast milk. The finding, published in the Journal of Nutrition, is a collaboration between the Universities of Reading and Southampton (UK) by Parveen Yaqoob, an expert in the physiology of nutrition matched.

The omega-3 fatty acids are essential for proper development of the fetus. For this reason, doctors recommend that pregnant women eat fish at least twice a week the rich in these nutrients, such as salmon. Until today, however, is clear, no study whether omega-3 would affect the content of fatty acids in breast milk during pregnancy. This research has shown that. Increasing the consumption of salmon in late pregnancy, the levels of omega-3 increases in breast milk in the first few months after birth Unfortunately, the high consumption of salmon is also a side effect. In fact, in the milk of pregnant women who eat a lot of salmon levels of immunoglobulins - antibodies, which help to protect the baby from infections - are lower than those of mothers who follow a standard diet.

Yaqoob explained, however, that "breast milk. Several ingredients that contribute to the immunity and can not say, including on the basis of this study, if the reduction of a type of antibody does not affect the child's health" According to the researchers, "is positive to note that according to the current guidelines for the consumption of fatty fish during pregnancy, women can increase the beneficial nutrients to the early stages of growth of the children to help at a crucial stage of development."

Pregnancy for New Dads

"How far are you, what a beautiful belly! Congratulations" These are just some of the expressions that usually give birth to the baby from the moment of first sounds bounce off a rounded saw to hear all the houses. If small changes when he receives the compliments mother is alone or in the company of the father of the future: notes and phrases of encouragement are all really just for them. As you, Father, life has not suffered any change. To do justice to the to the despised status fathers from the book by Mark Woods made "... I'm pregnant practical guide future father.. Knowing what that make you happy with the pregnancy" Each month, the book begins with "1 month: There's no one there?" Continues "Moon 4: I see you, baby" and "6 months: Past father," get on "9 months" and then "Nine and a half" because of the expected date of birth, the author explains, is always much more approximate.
Testimony of a father with experience behind quite different, says Woods, as we "year without hope" and if frugoletto this small creeping into the lives of two people interrupt said from the moment of birth - of course, from the perspective the Father - "Stories from the front." in
Woods book was very successful Anglo-Saxon countries, was designed to fill the void of information on pregnancy for new dads, too often written as small of millions of books about the gestation period of exclusively female audience. Author Experience suggests that a detailed guide, month after month, until the fateful date of birth, what. With the mother and the fetus, and the various stages of the life of a couple in this sensitive time And not to forget, of course, suggestions for future actions a father should be taken "definitely" to reduce discomfort and comfort of your funeral, to improve.

The Detection of Genetic

Amniocentesis and CVS, in the not too distant future, by a simple and for the same purpose, accurate and less invasive: sufficient for the detection of genetic abnormalities in the offspring is, a blood sample from the mother are analyzed. The discovery by researchers at Stanford University (USA), the first sequenced the genome of a fetus with only a sample of the mother's.
The results of the new approach, was published in Nature, had carried out the movements of the other study by researchers at the University of Washington (USA), in order to achieve the same result, but a blood sample dual use of the mother and the father of the future . The technique of DNA sequencing was performed at Stanford, but requires no paternal blood: an advantage of no small importance in cases where the father is unknown or unwilling to acknowledge paternity.

Syndrome of pregnancy for a fatherAs the cost of technology continues to decline, the researchers believe that it will be easier to diagnose genetic diseases in the first trimester of pregnancy. "We are interested in determining the conditions that can be treated before or shortly after birth - says Stephen Quake, the first author of the study -. Without this diagnosis, children with metabolic disorders or immune system treated, cured to be symptoms. "

Procedures that return result sets can say the researchers from Stanford, an abortion every 200 pregnancies - amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling (CVS) to determine whether the fetus carries genetic abnormalities can be done by inserting a needle into the uterus. New research would instead identified with lower invasiveness, a large number of genetic diseases. "This important study - closed Quake - instead confirms our ability to test individual genetic disorders of the fetus only the mother's blood to identify."
