Physiology of Pregnancy
• Fetal growth:– Zygote: fertilized ovum– Blastocyst: first 2 weeks
•Cells differentiate into fetus & placenta
– Embryo: weeks 2-8 •Development of organ systems
– Fetus: week 9-delivery•Growth
– Newborn
![Page 8: Lifecycle nutrition: Pregnancy and Lactation](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012822/5492404db47959b0088b45cb/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Physiology of Pregnancy
• Placental Development – Placenta: metabolically active organ•Interwoven fetal and maternal blood vessels
•Exchange of oxygen, nutrients, and waste products
– Amniotic sac– Umbilical cord
![Page 9: Lifecycle nutrition: Pregnancy and Lactation](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012822/5492404db47959b0088b45cb/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Definition of a Successful Pregnancy
• Gestation at least 37 weeks– Lung development
• Birth weight >5.5 lb• Otherwise
– Low birth weight (LBW)– Small for gestational age (SGA)– Preterm vs. SGA
• Potential for catch-up growth• Malnutrition
![Page 19: Lifecycle nutrition: Pregnancy and Lactation](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012822/5492404db47959b0088b45cb/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
If a baby is born at 38 weeks and weighs 4lbs, he/she would be considered:
a) Low birth weight (LBW)b) Small for gestational age
(SGA)c) Pretermd) Both a and be) All of the above
![Page 20: Lifecycle nutrition: Pregnancy and Lactation](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012822/5492404db47959b0088b45cb/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Critical Periods
•Times of intense development and rapid cell division– Cellular activities can occur only during these times
•Organ and tissue development most vulnerable to adverse influences
•First trimester
![Page 22: Lifecycle nutrition: Pregnancy and Lactation](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012822/5492404db47959b0088b45cb/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Neural Tube Development
• Critical period is 17-30 days gestation
• Most women unaware they are pregnant during this time
• Vulnerable to – Nutrient deficiencies– Nutrient excesses– Toxins
![Page 24: Lifecycle nutrition: Pregnancy and Lactation](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012822/5492404db47959b0088b45cb/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Neural Tube Defects

Folate Supplementation
• Prevents & reduces severity of neural tube defects
• Folate status important prior to pregnancy and during 1st trimester
• RDA: 600 micrograms• Fortification of grains
– 50% of pregnancies are unplanned
![Page 31: Lifecycle nutrition: Pregnancy and Lactation](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012822/5492404db47959b0088b45cb/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Fetal Programming
• Adverse influences at critical stages in utero may set the stage for chronic disease development later in life
• Maternal nutrition status may change gene expression in fetus
• Examples:– beta cell growth and diabetes– blood vessel growth, lipid metabolism and CVD
![Page 32: Lifecycle nutrition: Pregnancy and Lactation](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012822/5492404db47959b0088b45cb/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

Maternal Weight
• Birth weight is most reliable indicator of infant health
• Maternal weight prior to conception influences fetal growth – Underweight
•Risk of LBW, preterm, infant death
– Overweight and obesity•Medical complications for mother•Risks for infant
![Page 37: Lifecycle nutrition: Pregnancy and Lactation](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012822/5492404db47959b0088b45cb/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Maternal Weight
• Weight gain during pregnancy–Correlates closely to infant birth weight
–Recommendations (single birth)•Healthy weight: 25-35lbs•Underweight: 28-40lbs•Overweight: 15-25lbs
–Most women gain more than recommended!
![Page 38: Lifecycle nutrition: Pregnancy and Lactation](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012822/5492404db47959b0088b45cb/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Maternal Weight Gain
•Normal: 3.5lbs in 1st tri, then 1lb/week after that•Underweight: 5lbs in 1st tri, then just over 1lb/week•Overweight: 2lbs in 1st tri, then 2/3lb per week

Nutrition during Pregnancy
• Vegetarians – Able to meet most nutrient needs through diet alone
– Exception: iron
• Vegans– May require supplementation for B12, calcium, vitamin D
– B12 deficiency: spinal chord damage, psychomotor retardation
![Page 54: Lifecycle nutrition: Pregnancy and Lactation](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012822/5492404db47959b0088b45cb/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)

Recommendations• American Academy of Pediatrics• American Academy of Family Physicians• American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists• American College of Nurse-Midwives• American Dietetic Association,• American Public Health Association
– Officially recommend that most infants
breastfeed for at least 12 months. – Also recommend that for about the first six months infants be exclusively breastfed, meaning that they not be given any foods or liquids other than breast milk.

Healthy People 2020
• Breastfeeding ever – 81.9%• Breastfeeding at 6 months – 60.5%• Breastfeeding at 1 year – 34.1% • Exclusively through 3 months – 44.3%• Exclusively through 6 months – 23.7%• Reduce the proportion of breastfed newborns who
receive formula supplementation within the first 2 days of life – to 15.6% (from 25.6%)

Benefits for infant• Optimal nutrition
– Nutritionally superior to formula– Sterile and always fresh– More easily digestible
• Immune protection • Fewer allergies and intolerances• Fewer respiratory, GI, and ear infections
• Cognitive benefits • Infant-led feeding• May protect against some chronic diseases later in life

Benefits to Mother
• Increased rate of uterine contraction after childbirth and consequent reduced risk of postpartum blood loss
• Possible reduced risk of pre-menopausal breast and ovarian cancers
• Amenorrhea and decreased fertility• Promotes mother-infant bond• Weight loss• Convenience• Economic benefits

Anatomy of the Breast

Hormonal Control of Lactation
• Hormonal controls– Prolactin– Oxytocin: MER
• Sucking stimulus signals release of prolactin
• Supply follows demand
![Page 78: Lifecycle nutrition: Pregnancy and Lactation](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012822/5492404db47959b0088b45cb/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
Composition of Breast Milk
• Colostrum – First fluid, thick, yellowish– Rich in immune factors and protein– About 20 kcal/oz
– Bifidus flora• In first 24hrs, total intake: 10-108ml
• Transitional milk: 6-13 days postpartum
![Page 79: Lifecycle nutrition: Pregnancy and Lactation](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012822/5492404db47959b0088b45cb/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
Composition of Breast Milk
• 20 calories per ounce• Whey:Casein (70:30)
– More easily digested• Foremilk vs. hindmilk: fat content
– Don’t limit time at breast– No clear distinction
• Contains small amount of Fe– Sufficient for first 6 months– Absorption is facilitated by high vitamin C concentration

Nutrient Requirements for Lactation
• Energy requirement –Extra 500 kcals/day –Higher needs than pregnancy
• Increased need for carbohydrate• Fluid intake• Inadequacies reduce quantity and not quality of milk

• Alcohol• Certain medications• Smoking• Illicit drugs• Caffeine

Formula Feeding
• Safety and adequacy• Preparation• Can interfere with breastfeeding– Supply & demand– Nipple confusion/preference
• More likely to be overfed– Increased risk of obesity?

Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative
1. A written bf policy routinely communicated to staff
2. Train staff in skills to implement policy3. Inform pregnant women about benefits and
management of breast feeding4. Help mothers initiate bf within 30 minutes of
delivery5. Show mothers how to initiate and maintain bf 6. Give newborns no food or drink other than breast
milk unless medically indicated7. Practice rooming in: allow mothers and infants to
stay together8. Encourage breast feeding on demand9. Give no pacifiers 10. Foster establishment of support groups and refer
mothers to them
