Say No to alcohol!!!

[Ani]

I was surprised to find out that

 

1.During pregnancy use of alcohol increases risks for birth defects (leading cause for mental retardation and heart defects) more that use of drugs such as cocaine…

Alcohol interferes with neuronal development, which has major impact on the developing fetus… Cocaine works on dopamine only…research showed slightly low IQ in such children…

 

2.This is still in debate, but there is a lot of research that proves that smoking during pregnancy (which includes second hand smoking) increases the risk for SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome…and they'e more likely to be inclined toward delinquency and crime.

Birth defects affect about one in every 33 babies born in the United States each year. They are the leading cause of infant deaths, accounting for more than 20% of all infant deaths. Babies born with birth defects have a greater chance of illness and long term disability than babies without birth defects.

 

Although we do not know the cause of most birth defects, the good news is that we know how to prevent some birth defects.

 

I will divide these into 6 sections so it would be easier to read!!!

Why Folic Acid is So Important

 

What is folic acid?

 

Folic acid is a B vitamin. Our bodies use it to make new cells. Everyone needs folic acid. But for women who can get pregnant, it is really important! If a woman has enough folic acid in her body before she is pregnant, it can help prevent major birth defects of her baby’s brain and spine. These birth defects are neural tube defects or NTDs. Women need to take folic acid every day, starting before they are pregnant to help prevent NTDs.

 

CDC and the U.S. Public Health Service urge every woman who could become pregnant to get 400 micrograms (400 mcg) of synthetic folic acid every day.

 

How much is enough? Look for 100% DV (Daily Value)

 

One easy way a woman can be sure she is getting enough folic acid is to take a vitamin that has folic acid in it every day. Folic acid pills and most multivitamins sold in the United States have 100% of the daily value (DV) of folic acid; check the label to be sure. Another way to get enough is to eat a serving of breakfast cereal every day that has been enriched with 100% of the daily value of folic acid. Not every cereal has this amount. Check the label on the side of the box, and look for one that has “100%” next to folic acid.

 

When should a woman start taking folic acid?

 

These birth defects happen in the first few weeks of pregnancy, often before a woman finds out that she is pregnant. All women should get in the habit of taking folic acid daily even when they are not planning to get pregnant. For folic acid to help, a woman needs to take every day, starting before she becomes pregnant.

Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders

 

When a pregnant woman drinks alcohol, so does her unborn baby. There is no known safe amount of alcohol to drink while pregnant and there also does not appear to be a safe time to drink during pregnancy either. Therefore, it is recommended that women abstain from drinking alcohol at any time during pregnancy. Women who are sexually active and do not use effective birth control should also refrain from drinking because they could become pregnant and not know for several weeks or more.

Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis Virus (LCMV) and Pregnancy: Facts and Prevention

 

What is LCMV and how is it spread?

 

Lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) is carried by wild mice. Laboratory rodents and pet rodents, such as hamsters and guinea pigs, can become infected with LCMV from contact with wild mice. This can happen in a breeding facility, in a laboratory facility, in a pet store, or in the home (e.g., if wild mice are present).

 

Humans can become infected with LCMV through contact with urine, blood, saliva, droppings, or nesting materials of infected rodents. This could occur, for example, through a break in the skin or a bite from an infected rodent. Infection can also be spread by inhaling dust or droplets containing LCMV, such as while sweeping infected rodent droppings. A pregnant woman who becomes infected with LCMV can pass the infection to her unborn baby. LCMV infection can also be spread to patients who receive an organ transplant from an infected donor. However, spread of LCMV infection from one person to another is not known to occur outside these situations (1).

 

About 5% of adults have a positive blood test that shows they were infected with LCMV at some time in their lives (2, 3). Some people with normal immune systems have no symptoms during LCMV infection. Others have a mild illness with symptoms such as headache, fever, chills, and muscle aches. Sometimes, meningitis (inflammation around the brain and spinal cord) will occur.

 

How can I prevent becoming infected with LCMV?

 

In general, the risk of LCMV infection is low. If you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, you should avoid contact with rodents, including pets such as hamsters and guinea pigs, and rodent droppings whenever possible. Following these instructions can reduce the risk of LCMV infection:

 

If you suspect there are mice in your home, call a professional pest control company to control them or have another member of the household remove them. Avoid vacuuming or sweeping rodent urine, droppings, or nesting materials.

Ask a friend or family member who does not live with you to care for pet rodents in his or her home while you are pregnant. If this is not possible, keep the pet rodent in a separate part of the home and have another family member or friend care for the pet and clean its cage. Avoid being in the same room where the rodent is kept.

If you have contact with a wild rodent or its urine, droppings, or nesting materials, thoroughly wash your hands afterward.

Further guidance on preventing LCMV infection, including management and prevention of rodents in the home, may be provided upon request - Let me know!!!

 

Is there treatment for LCMV infection during pregnancy?

 

Currently, there is no specific treatment available for LCMV infection. Pregnant women who have LCMV infection should talk with their doctors about how to manage their symptoms and how the infection might affect the outcome of their pregnancy.

 

If you are pregnant and have come in contact with a rodent, or have fever or other symptoms during your pregnancy, contact your doctor. A blood test is available to detect current or previous LCMV infection. Having had LCMV infection in the past is not a risk for current or future pregnancies.

Diabetes and Pregnancy

 

Diabetes is often detected in women during their childbearing years and can affect the health of both the mother and her unborn child. Poor control of diabetes in a woman who is pregnant increases the chance for birth defects and other problems for the baby and might cause serious complications for the woman.

 

Proper health care before and during pregnancy will help prevent birth defects and other poor outcomes, such as miscarriage and stillbirth.

Having a Healthy Pregnancy

 

Not all birth defects can be prevented, but a woman can take some actions that increase her chance of having a healthy baby. Many birth defects happen very early in pregnancy, sometimes before a woman even knows she is pregnant. Remember that about half of all pregnancies are unplanned.

 

ABC's...Pregnancy Tips (A-Z)

 

A Avoid exposure to toxic substances and chemicals --- such as cleaning solvents, lead and mercury, some insecticides, and paint. Pregnant women should avoid exposure to paint fumes.

 

B Be sure to see your doctor and get prenatal care as soon as you think you're pregnant. It's important to see your doctor regularly throughout pregnancy, so be sure to keep all your prenatal care appointments.

 

and...

 

Breastfeeding is the healthiest choice for both you and your baby. Talk to your doctor, your family and friends, and your employer about how you choose to feed your baby and how they can support you in your decision.

 

C Cigarette smoking during pregnancy increases the chances of premature birth, certain birth defects, and infant death. Women who smoke during pregnancy are more likely than other women to have a miscarriage and to have a baby born with a cleft lip or cleft palate--types of birth defects. Smoking is one of the causes of problems with the placenta and can cause a baby to be born too early and have low birth weight. Smoking is also one of the causes of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).

 

D Drink extra fluids (water is best) throughout pregnancy to help your body keep up with the increases in your blood volume. Drink at least 6 to 8 glasses of water, fruit juice, or milk each day. A good way to know you're drinking enough fluid is when your urine looks like almost-clear water or is very light yellow.

 

E Eat healthy to get the nutrients you and your unborn baby need. Your meals should include the five basic food groups. Each day you should get the following: 6-11 servings of grain products, 3-5 servings of vegetables, 2-4 servings of fruits,

4-6 servings of milk and milk products, 3-4 servings of meat and protein foods. Foods low in fat and high in fiber are important to a healthy diet.

 

F Take 400 micrograms of folic acid daily both before pregnancy and during the first few months of pregnancy to reduce the risk of birth defects of the brain and spine. All women who could possibly become pregnant should take a vitamin with folic acid, every day. It is also important to eat a healthy diet with fortified foods (enriched grain products, including cereals, rice, breads, and pastas) and foods with natural sources of folate (orange juice, green leafy vegetables, beans, peanuts, broccoli, asparagus, peas, and lentils).

 

G Genetic testing should be done appropriately. It's important to know your family history. If there have been problems with pregnancies or birth defects in your family, report these to your doctor. Also, genetic counselors can talk with you about the information you might need in making decisions about having a family. You can call a major medical center in your area for help in finding a board-certified genetic counselor.

 

H Hand-washing is important throughout the day, especially after handling raw meat or using the bathroom. This can help prevent the spread of many bacteria and viruses that cause infection.

 

I Take 30 milligrams of iron during your pregnancy as prescribed by your doctor to reduce the risk of anemia later in pregnancy. All women of childbearing age should eat a diet rich in iron.

 

J Join a support group for moms to be, or join a class on parenting or childbirth.

 

K Know your limits. Let your physician know if you experience any of the following: pain of any kind, strong cramps, uterine contractions at 20-minute intervals, vaginal bleeding, leaking of amniotic fluid, dizziness, fainting, shortness of breath, palpitations, tachycardia (rapid beating of the heart), constant nausea and vomiting, trouble walking, edema (swelling of joints), or if your baby has decreased activity.

 

L Legal drugs such as alcohol and caffeine are important issues for pregnant women. There is no known safe amount of alcohol a woman can drink while pregnant. Fetal alcohol syndrome , a disorder characterized by growth retardation, facial abnormalities, and central nervous system dysfunction, is caused by a woman's use of alcohol during pregnancy. Caffeine, found in tea, coffee, soft drinks and chocolate, should also be limited. Be sure to read labels when trying to cut down on caffeine during pregnancy. More than 200 foods, beverages, and over-the-counter medications contain caffeine!

 

M Medical conditions/complications such as diabetes, epilepsy, and high blood pressure should be treated and kept under control. Ask your doctor about any medications that may need to be changed or adjusted during pregnancy. If you are currently taking any medications ask your doctor if it is safe to take them while you're pregnant. Also, be sure to discuss any herbs or vitamins you are taking. They are medicines, too! Discuss with your doctor all medications, prescribed and over-the-counter, that you are taking.

 

N Now is the time to baby-proof your home. These are important tips for making your home a safer environment for your baby.

 

O Over-the-counter cough and cold remedies may contain alcohol or other ingredients that should be avoided during pregnancy. Ask your health care provider about prescription or over-the-counter drugs that you are taking or may consider taking while pregnant.

 

P Physical activity during pregnancy can benefit both you and your baby by lessening discomfort and fatigue, providing a sense of well-being, and increasing the likelihood of early recovery after delivery. Light to moderate exercise during pregnancy strengthens the abdominal and back muscles, which help to improve posture. Practicing yoga, walking, swimming, and cycling on a stationary bicycle are usually safe exercises for pregnant women. But always check with your doctor before beginning any kind of exercise, especially during pregnancy.

 

Q Queasiness, stomach upset and morning sickness are common during pregnancy. Foods that you normally love may make you feel sick to your stomach. You may need to substitute other nutritious foods. Eating five or six small meals a day instead of three large ones may make you feel better.

 

R Rodents may carry lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV). If a pregnant woman is infected with LCMV, it can pass to the unborn baby and cause severe abnormalities or loss of the pregnancy. Avoid all contact with rodents, including pet hamsters and guinea pigs, and with their urine, droppings and nesting materials throughout pregnancy. Mice in the home should be removed promptly by a professional pest control company or another member of the household. Pet rodents should be housed in a separate part of the house where other household members or friends can care for the pet and clean its cage. For more information, see http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvrd/spb/mnpages...ges/lcmv/qa.htm

 

S Saunas, hot tubs, and steam rooms should be avoided while you are pregnant. Excessive high heat may be harmful during your pregnancy.

 

T Toxoplasmosis is an infection caused by a parasite that can seriously harm an unborn baby. Avoid eating undercooked meat and handling cat litter, and be sure to wear gloves when gardening.

 

U Uterus size increases during the first trimester, which, along with more efficient functioning of your kidneys, may cause you to feel the need to urinate more often. You may also leak urine when sneezing, coughing or laughing. This is due to the growing uterus pressing against your bladder, which lies directly in front of and slightly under the uterus during the first few months of pregnancy. If you experience burning along with frequency of urination, be sure to tell your doctor.

 

V Vaccinations are an important concern for pregnant women. Get needed vaccines before pregnancy. CDC has clear guidelines for the use of vaccines during pregnancy. Review the list and be sure to discuss with your doctor.

 

W Being overweight or underweight during pregnancy may cause problems. Try to get within 15 pounds of your ideal weight before pregnancy. Remember, pregnancy is not a time to be dieting! Don't stop eating or start skipping meals as your weight increases. Both you and your baby need the calories and nutrition you receive from a healthy diet. Be sure to consult with your doctor about your diet.

 

X Avoid X rays. If you must have dental work or diagnostic tests, tell your dentist or physician that you are pregnant so that extra care can be taken.

 

Y Your baby loves you, and you should show your baby that you love her, too. Give your baby a healthy environment to live in while you are pregnant. Infants and children require constant care and guidance. Their health and safety should be carefully watched at all times. Refer to the link above for tips on safe and healthy child care.

 

Z Get your ZZZZZZZZZ's...Be sure to get plenty of rest... Resting on your side as often as possible, especially on your left side is advised, as it provides the best circulation to your baby and helps reduce swelling.

You can prevent infection and help keep your unborn baby safe.

Here’s how:

 

1. Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially when…

 

Using the bathroom

Touching raw meat, raw eggs or unwashed vegetables

Preparing food and eating

Gardening or touching dirt or soil

Handling pets

Being around people who are sick

Getting saliva (spit) on your hands

Caring for and playing with children

Changing diapers

 

If soap and running water are not available, you may use alcohol-based hand gel.

 

2. Try not to share forks, cups, and food with young children.

 

Wash your hands often when around children. Their saliva and urine might contain a virus. It is likely harmless to them, but it can be dangerous for you and your unborn baby.

 

3. Cook your meat until it’s well done.

 

The juices should run clear and there should be no pink inside. Do not eat hot dogs, luncheon meats, or deli meats, unless they are reheated until steaming hot. These undercooked meats and processed meats might contain harmful bacteria.

 

4. Avoid unpasteurized (raw) milk and foods made from it.

 

Do not eat soft cheeses such as feta, brie, and queso fresco unless they have labels that say they are pasteurized. Unpasteurized products can contain harmful bacteria.

 

5. Do not touch or change dirty cat litter.

 

Have someone else do it. If you must change the litter yourself, be sure to wear gloves and wash your hands afterwards. Dirty cat litter might contain a harmful parasite.

 

6. Stay away from wild or pet rodents and their droppings.

 

Have a pest control professional get rid of pests in or around your home. If you have a pet rodent, like a hamster or guinea pig, have someone else care for it until after your baby arrives. Some rodents might carry a harmful virus.

 

7. Get tested for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), such as HIV and hepatitis B, and protect yourself from them.

 

Some people that have HIV, hepatitis B, or an STD do not feel sick. Knowing if you have one of these diseases is important. If you do, talk to your doctor about how you can reduce the chance that your baby will become sick.

 

8. Talk to your doctor about vaccinations (shots).

 

Some are recommended before you become pregnant, during pregnancy, or right after delivery. Having the right vaccinations at the right time can help keep you healthy and help keep your baby from getting very sick or having life-long health problems.

 

9. Avoid people who have an infection.

 

Stay away from people who you know have infections, such as chickenpox or rubella, if you have not yet had it yourself or did not have the vaccine before pregnancy.

 

10. Ask your doctor about group B strep.

 

About 1 in 4 women carry this type of bacteria, but do not feel sick. An easy swab test near the end of pregnancy will show if you have this type of bacteria. If you do have group B strep, talk to your doctor about how to protect your baby during labor.

 

Note: These tips can help you prevent infections that could harm your unborn baby. You won’t always know if you have an infection - sometimes you won’t even feel sick. If you think you might have an infection or think you are at risk, see your doctor. This is not a complete guide to a healthy pregnancy. Be sure to talk with your doctor to learn more about safe food preparation, wearing insect repellent when outside, taking medicine, and other important topics.

It won't make significant differences. Flax seed oil contains the vegetable form of Omega 3, the active form is the one found in fish. Only a little amount of it is converted to the active form.

But that is what I disagree on, while it is true that Cocaine is a DRI (dopamine reuptake inhibitor), it is an oversimplifcation to claim that cocaine effect is only due to its action on dopamine. This does not take into account the effect of the metabolites. Even if we ignore its metabolites and other actions of cocaine itself, it does not only act on one neurotransmetter, it acts on serotonine and norepinephrine as well.

 

Also, on alcohol, the worst about alcohol is one of its metabolite acetaldehyde which is much more toxic. There is rarelly if any molecule which only act on one system.

[DominO123]

i chose Flax seed oil since it's good for diabetics

 

i might even start taking some fish oil - any recommendations Dr. jan ??

 

Flax seed oil is good mostly because of its active metabolites EPA and DHA..., those which are directly available from fish oil.

 

If you want to have anything good, search for a fish based Omega 3, which is enteric coated which has gone through molecular distillation (it is generally written on the box when it is). The Omega 3 content of the oil must be over 50%... There is now ester forms, they are expensive though, but they contain 90% of Ethyl EPA.

Also, on alcohol, the worst about alcohol is one of its metabolite acetaldehyde which is much more toxic. There is rarelly if any molecule which only act on one system.

 

Also...alcohol suppresses the release of glutamate the brain's main excitatory transmitter, and enhances activity of GABA, the main inhibitory transmitter. As a result neurons commit apoptosis (suicide)...

 

Cocaine blocks the reuptake of dopamine, norepinerphine and serotonin, thus prolonging their effects. Several kind of evidence indicates that the behavioral effects of cocaine depend mainly on dopamine effects and secondarily on serotonin effects. The effects of cocaine on dopamine synapses are intense but short lived. Children of mothers who use cocaine during pregnancy have a decrease in language skills compared to other children, slightly lower IQ scores, and impaired hearing.

Infant brain is highly vulnerable to damage by alcohol. Children of mothers who drink during pregnancy are born with fetal alcohol syndrome, a condition marked by hyperactivity, impulsiveness, difficulty maintaining attention, varying degrees of mental retardation, heart defects. Children with FDS have high risk of alcoholism, drug dependence, and other psych. disorders. Even in children with normal appearance impulsive behavior and poor school performance correlate with mother’s alcohol consumption during pregnancy.

 

I agree with what you've sais above...The point I am trying to make is…We all know how bad cocaine and similar drugs are. But I’ve witnessed myself how pregnant women, who are normal not alcoholics, drunk beer for example, thinking “o…its just a beer.”

 

i had a very good link on this, but it doesnt work now...i'll try to put it up...

Children with ADD (attention deficit disorder) are prescribed Methylphenidate (Ritalin), this works the same way as cocaine, blocking reuptake of dopamine at the same brain receptors. The only difference relates to dose and time course. However, medics declare that children who take long term Methylphenidate are less likely than others to abuse drugs during adolescence or early childhood. By the way they came to this conclusion based on the experiment on rats, because it was impossible to conduct research on children. How convenient for ADD treating doctors, the kid takes the pill, gets super active, and doctor gets paid for curing the poor kid who couldn’t pay attention before…

 

P.S. Domino...i take back "only" on dopamine...i put "mainly"

[Em]

It's absurd ..the percentage of kids "diagnosed" with ADD or ADHD and quickley put on drugs. And the parents go for it.
