Pregnancy tips: how to beat swine flu

By: Eddy R
Posted: Dec 09, 2009

A pregnant woman is more exposed to swine flu than the general population for her immune system is weakened, therefore more vulnerable. Like the seasonal influenza, swine flu could favor the occurrence of pulmonary complications in a future mother with a body already sensitized.

Some metabolisms are more susceptible to attacks of A H1N1. Everyone may be affected by the swine flu virus, but the most sensitive are the children, elderly and pregnant women.

Fever, one of the symptoms of influenza, can cause suffering, but no risk of malformations of the baby. If, however, fever continues contractions might occur, which increases the risk of premature pregnancy.
However, influenza A H1N1 should not scare you more than another cause. There are means of prevention and treatment, even if you are pregnant.

Influenza A H1N1, after birth

Placing in maternity should be as short as possible, and after birth you should meet with the doctor in a private office or a clinic, avoiding crowded hospitals.

If the mother was contaminated with the H1N1 virus is contagious, with the risk to transmit the disease to the new-born baby. A person affected by influenza A is contagious 24 to 48 hours before the first symptoms and between 4 and 5 days after their disappearance.

]]>

Regarding breastfeeding is not recommended to stop in case of flu. Breast milk is not contaminated, but rather is recognized for the transmission of antibodies from mother to child and will protect the newborn from possible infection. If you can not breastfeed directly, extract your milk to feed your baby with a bottle. Wash your hands and nipples before each feeding or extraction and wear a protective mask. Milking milk will be placed in a sterilized bottle.

Symptoms of influenza A H1N1 resembles very much the classic flu: fever, cough, headache, trouble breathing, etc.. If you suffer from any of these symptoms is appropriate to ask for medical advice.

Treatment for Pregnant Women

Health of a pregnant women should be monitored carefully. In the case of the flu, the doctor is the one that will recommend appropriate treatment. In general, it may consist of:

* Fever drop;
* Fluids;
* Rest;
* Treatment with antivirals but only if your doctor decides that.

Measures to prevent illness

The influenza virus is transmitted by air, mostly through saliva drops or nasal secretions (coughing, sneezing, runny nose ). To limit the risk of transmission, whatever the time of pregnancy, is recommended to respect certain rules of hygiene:

* Wash your hands regularly with soap and water
* Avoid direct contact with any person:hugs, hand shake, etc.
* Keep a minimum distance of 2 m from a person with symptoms of respiratory diseases;
* Do not borrow a towel from the bathroom, toothbrush, soap or other item of personal hygiene to any family member (husband, child, etc.);
* Clean surfaces regularly contact: handles, switches, cover the toilet etc.
* Avoid going to places where there is risk of contamination: hospitals, schools, transportation, public gatherings etc.

Pregnancy Tips – Should You Have An Epidural?

By: Susan Marshfield
Posted: Aug 15, 2009

]]>

When it comes to labor and delivery time, one of the things you hear discussed immediately is in regards to having, or not having, an epidural. Should you have one? What are the potential problems associated with them? Here’s a look at this and more.

The basics behind an epidural is that they can greatly reduce pregnancy labor and delivery pains. It is a form of pain relief that goes through a small catheter in your lower back. The medicine is controlled by a pump and delivers the medication on a regular basis as set by the nurse.

Generally speaking, but not in all cases, you will have the option of getting an epidural once you dilate to a 3-5. Why is that? Because the medicine relieves, and nearly eliminates the pain, it can prevent you from going further into labor. That is not what you want to have happen.

Many people mistakenly believe that having an epidural can somehow harm your baby, but this is not true. The only side effects will that you may get a headache or feel nauseous. Sometimes you may also get an itchy feeling.

The main concern you will be monitored for is your blood pressure. There is always a chance that it may create a sudden drop in your body’s blood pressure. If so, you don’t need to be overly concerned. There are medications your doctor will give you to alleviate the issue.

Can anyone have an epidural during labor? No, not all women can have one. If you are experiencing bleeding, placenta previa or fetal distress, you most likely will not be given one. With that said, only your own doctor will be able to make that decision at the time.

One thing is for sure though, having one is a blessing. For anyone who has gone through the process I’m sure you would agree.

How to Increase Fertility – Pregnancy Tips

Posted by: Your Maternity Resource | Comments (0)

Having children is one of the most anticipated moments for most couples. There are many hard times and difficulties related to giving birth but most women look forward to this time in their life. It is a significant part of womanhood.

Fertility problems is one of the difficulties that some women face when trying to become pregnant. This is a big problem that needs expensive consultations and fertility treatments from reproductive specialists. These treatments can also pose health hazards and adverse effects aside from being costly.

However, there are natural ways of how to increase fertility that can be tried first. These ways of how to increase fertility naturally have helped numerous couples in conceiving.

What is Fertility?
Before looking into the natural methods of how to increase fertility, it is important to understand the definition of fertility. Fertility basically refers to the ability to have children. Many factors significantly affect the fertility of a man or woman. The overall health of a person plays a very important part in the fertility of a person. About 1 in 5 couples have problems in conceiving because of the prevalence of an unhealthy lifestyle these days; people exercise less and eat more unhealthy food.

Increasing Fertility the Natural Way

For a woman, it is important to take note of your menstrual cycle so you can determine the time of your period when you’re most fertile. This is the time when you’re ovulating and this is the most ideal time for intercourse. The chances of conceiving are significantly higher during this period.

Some signs that a woman is ovulating are an increase in cervical mucus and rise in basal body temperature. It is important to make a fertility calendar so you can have a guide of when you’re ovulating. For women with a complicated menstrual period, fertility tools and ovulation prediction kits are available in pharmacies.

Sex position can also increase the chances of becoming pregnant. Some positions that allow semen to leak out of a woman’s body should be avoided. Sitting, standing and female on top position enables gravity to make the semen flow out from the woman’s vagina. The best position for conceiving is the missionary style because this will deposit sperm near the cervix.

Diet is a very significant factor in how to increase fertility. Women who have a normal bodyweight are more fertile because they usually have normal sex hormone levels. Overweight and underweight women who have higher or lower than normal sex hormone levels have a difficult time conceiving. Vitamin supplements specific to increasing fertility are available in pharmacies.

Some food and drinks that contain chemicals, caffeine and alcohol should be eliminated from the diet because these are known to significantly reduce fertility.

Moderate exercise is also advisable because this will help you have a normal bodyweight and regulate hormone levels. Avoid very strenuous workouts because this can decrease fertility.

Pregnancy Tip: Put Some Salt In Your Diet!

Posted by: Your Maternity Resource | Comments (0)

Salt is a nutrient that is needed daily by all humans. It is most important for proper cell maintenance andd creation and therefore is a critical nutrient in the diet of a pregnant woman. As a pregnancy progresses, a woman’s body will make additional blood (about 40 – 50% more) in order to ensure adequate oxygenation and nutrition of the unborn baby. To do this, the body must retain additional fluid and one of the properties of salt is fluid retention. If salt is restricted during pregnancy, this additional blood volume may not be made and the nutritional needs of the unborn baby will not be met. This may occur because the placenta’s growth is retarded or stopped or it may even peel off of the uterine wall.

The unborn baby is not the only one to suffer from too little salt. The pregnant woman will be more prone to hypertension, toxemia and other nutritionally derived diseases. Women who are put on low salt diets in the mistaken belief that this will keep them from retaining fluid and swelling, or keep their blood pressure down frequently become more edemic, rapidly gain weight from the water retention and find their blood pressures soaring. These are normal body responses to a salt deficiency and a coping mechanism to restore the necessary balance in the system.

When a woman meets her daily salt need by “salting to taste”, her body retains the correct amount of fluid to meet its needs and the excess salt is removed from the body via the kidneys. Edema in well-nourished women is not pathologic and may, in fact, have some benefits for the mother and baby. The pregnant woman will be more prone to hypertension, toxemia and other nutritionally derived diseases. Women who are put on low salt diets in the mistaken belief that this will keep them from retaining fluid and swelling, or keep their blood pressure down frequently become more edemic, rapidly gain weight from the water retention and find their blood pressures soaring. These are normal body responses to a salt deficiency and a coping mechanism to restore the necessary balance in the system.

Home Remedies For Insomnia During Pregnancy – Tips on Fighting Insomnia

Posted by: Your Maternity Resource | Comments (0)

Home Remedies For Insomnia During Pregnancy

Everyone has trouble sleeping every once in a while. Typically, the root cause is a day filled with stress, preoccupied thoughts, or a bed that isn’t comfortable. You are probably suffering from insomnia, however, if you find yourself counting sheep for too long. Don’t miss out on another minute of rest – just stick to this advice on battling insomnia. Get up off that bed and don’t wallow. Laying in bed while you are awake can intensify the effects of insomnia. It could take longer to fall asleep. Schedule twenty minutes to go to sleep.

In the event that you remain wide awake following this, then leave the bed. You’ll begin to get mad about not being able to fall asleep if you stay in bed much longer. This one factor creates huge stress, which makes it extremely difficult to get any sleep at all. If you find that you cannot sleep, find a quiet activity away from your room for half and hour or so and then give it another try. Perhaps there’s a tiny task you could get done. You could read the emails you have. At times your body requires just a bit of more ‘awakening time’ in order to pass through insomnia.

Get a book, any book. You still should not just lay there if you are suffering from insomnia if you prefer not to hop out of bed. You might try reading a bit if you are having trouble falling asleep provided it isn’t bothering anyone else. Switch on a lamp near your bed. The overhead room light will illuminate too much. Choose a book to read for around thirty minutes. Reading is a great distraction from the worries of the day. Read the book for a little while and then lay down once more, to determine if you are more able to get to sleep now. Home Remedies For Insomnia During Pregnancy

Think about using methods of relaxation. A busy schedule and thoughts racing through your head are common causes of insomnia. Some simple relaxation techniques work wonders to fight insomnia. Put on some soothing tunes to listen to. Use headphones to avoid waking up others around you. Meditation tapes lead to deep inner relaxation, which many people find helps them sleep. Also include some yoga as long as it appeals to you (not in bed, naturally!) The technique can help you to relax the body as well as mind. Bathe. A warm bath will be useful sometimes to check insomnia.

Fill a bathtub with steaming, sudsy water and light several candles. To prevent making you more alert avoid turning on any lights. A few drops of essential oils such as marjoram or lavender in your bath create a fragrant aroma that will help soothe and relax both your mind and body. You will begin to relax and feel a little more tired if you allow the water with its calming effects and the candlelight to drift you to a calmer place. Consider having a bite to eat or something to drink. It could be that you are hungry or thirsty when you suffer from sleeplessness.

Attend to your groaning tummy first before preparing an elaborate three-course meal. Food items containing a lot of amino acids are demonstrated to facilitate relaxation and sound sleep. These foods include turkey, bananas, figs, tuna, as well as the classic warm milk. Additionally, natural herb teas such as Chamomile, Valerian root, and Passion flower have the effect of relaxation, which will help you to sleep better. Do your body a favour.

Heartburn and Pregnancy Tips

Posted by: Your Maternity Resource | Comments (0)

Heartburn and pregnancy go hand in hand because of the hormonal and physiological changes that a pregnant woman undergoes. When a woman is pregnant, her abdomen has more pressure, forcing the acids to go upwards to the esophagus and the throat.

Another reason is because of the increase of hormones in a woman’s body, resulting to the softening of the ligaments which keep the lower esophagus muscles closed. Softened ligaments will result to a relaxed LES, causing gastric juices to come through.

If you are pregnant and you want to avoid heartburn, there are many practical tips to follow. Here are some of them:

1. Avoid smoking. Nicotine is found to weaken the LES, so stop smoking. Moreover, it is not really good for your health and your baby’s.

2. Don’t wear tight clothes and belts. Tight apparels and tight objects around the waist will only add more pressure around the abdomen, pushing the stomach contents upwards.

3. Don’t lie down after eating. Wait for at least two hours before you lie down, to ensure that the stomach acids will stay where they should be.

4. Maintain a healthy weight. Too much weight will only increase more pressure on the stomach, making the acids go to the esophagus.

5. Avoid foods that cause the LES to relax. These include fatty food, tomato-based products, citrus fruits and juices, alcoholic drinks, high fat butter and cream, greasy food and caffeine.

6. You are advised to eat low fat food and more vegetables, since these are the ones that are not heartburn triggers.

If your heartburn persists, you should visit a doctor to help treat your condition.

For more heartburn tips, visit my blog. You should read the book that taught thousands get rid of their condition naturally. It’s in my byline so check it out.

Would you like to know the best natural heartburn treatment? It’s the ebook “Heartburn No More” by Jeff Martin, who has found a totally holistic way of curing heartburn. This has helped thousands of other people get rid of their heartburn forever, and you might, too. Read my review on it on my Acid Reflux Natural Cure blog.
