Importance of nutrition:
Pre-pregnancy
Pregnancy
Weaning
Lesson 1 Learning Outcomes
Nutrition Pre-Pregnancy
Healthy Weight Pre-Pregnancy
Aim to achieve a healthy weight BEFORE trying to conceive
Dieting while trying for a baby or while pregnant NOT recommended
Women with BMI 20-25kg/m² have a higher rate of pregnancy than those with a higher or lower BMI
Obese women twice as likely to have large baby-complicates birth
Obese women are at increased risk of developing gestational diabetes
Neural Tube Defects: group of birth defects
involving the spine or brain
Spinabifida
Anencephaly
Encephalocele
Neural Tube Defects
Neural Tube Defects: group of birth defects
involving the spine or brain
Spinabifida
Anencephaly
Encephalocele
Neural Tube Defects
What Causes NTDs?
Lack of folic acid- when neural tube is forming
Insulin dependent diabetes in the mother
Certain medications i.e. to control epilepsy
Maybe elevations in body temperature when the neural tube is forming- fever, sauna, hot tubs
Genetic conditions- may consult a genetic counsellor if concerned
Folic acid- B vitamin
Take 0.4mg or 400mcg 12 weeks prior and post conception
50% pregnancies unplanned so women of child bearing age recommended to take a supplement
Note: dosage may be increased where there is a family history of NTDs, epilepsy, diabetes…see GP
Importance of Folic Acid
Folic acid:
Well-tolerated
Found in fortified foods and supplements
Folate
• Occurs naturally in food
• Green leafy veg, avocado,
cereals, meat, beans and
lentils
Folic Acid
• Synthetic form
• Well tolerated
• Found in fortified foods
and supplements

Do you know the difference?
Building Strong bones
1,000mg/day if considering getting pregnant
Preparing for pregnancy includes building healthy bones
Three servings of milk or other dairy products each day equals about 1,000 milligrams of calcium.
Calcium Pre-Pregnancy
Iron Pre- Conception
Many women have low iron stores pre-conception due to monthly menstruation
Important to build iron stores to meet iron need’s of the foetus
Good sources:
Meats such as beef, pork, lamb, liver andother organ meats
Poultry such as chicken, duck and turkey Fish and shellfish including sardines, anchovies,
clams, mussels and oysters (avoid those high in mercury) Leafy greens of the cabbage family such as broccoli,
kale, turnip greens and collards Legumes such as lima beans and green peas,
dry beans and peas such as pinto beans and black-eyed peas and canned baked beans
Whole grain breads and iron-enriched cereals
Caffeine Pre-Pregnancy
Begin to wean yourself off caffeine
>200-300mg caffeine/day may reduce fertility
>200mg caffeine/day can increase the risk of miscarriage
Caffeine also affects the body’s ability to absorb nutrients such as iron and calcium
Sources: soft drinks, tea, hot chocolate, coffee, medications
Nutritional Guidelines When Planning a Pregnancy
Eat a well balanced diet
Supplement diet with
0.4mg folic acid
Limit alcohol to 1-2
units/week
Eat fish twice a week
Eat plentiful iron
Nutrition During Pregnancy
Placenta
Carries oxygen and nutrients to your baby
Removes waste products that baby produces in womb
Does not protect baby from harmful substances such as alcohol and nicotine from crossing to baby
The growth and potential development of the foetus
The health of mother and baby
Reduces the risk of chronic diseases in adulthood
“Barker Hypothesis” first described the link between foetal development and later development of chronic diseases
Maternal Nutrition at Conception and During Pregnancy influences:
Importance of Nutrition for Pregnancy
Obesity
CVD
Type 2 diabetes
Most mothers overestimate how much extra they need to eat!
Adequate energy intake essential to promote optimal growth of the foetus and energy for mother
Energy requirements vary by individual Increased requirements usually compensated
for by decreased activity
5% extra in first trimester 10% in second trimester 25% in third trimester
Energy During Pregnancy
Most mothers overestimate how much
extra they need to eat
Based on a well-nourished woman with a normal BMI this intake equates to an additional 70kcal per day in the 1st trimester, 260 kcal per day in the
second and 500kcal a day in the third trimester (EFSA, 2013).
Weight Gain During Pregnancy
Recommendations based on pre-pregnancy BMI(Institute of Medicine, 1990)
Pre-pregnancy BMI Healthy weight gain
>26 <11.5kg
19.8-26 11.5-16kg
<19.8 17-18kg
Excessive weight gain during pregnancy can lead to obesity in mothers long-term
Eat according to appetite Monitor weight gain
Healthy Eating Across The Globe
Healthy Eating Across The Globe
Food Groups
Foods and Drinks high in fat, sugar and salt should be avoided
Fruit and Vegetables
Carbohydrates
Milk and Dairy Products
Meat, fish, eggs and alternatives
Fats and Oils
Healthy Eating Across The Globe
Carbohydrates- 6-11 portions/day
1 serving =
1 slice bread2 dessert spoons
mashed potatoes
3 dessertspoons or ½ cup boiled
pasta, rice, noodles
1 medium or 2 small potatoes
2 breakfast cereal wheat or
oat biscuits
3 dessert spoons dry porridge
oats
2-3 crackers or crisp breads
4 dessertspoons flake type
cereal
Protein Requirements During Pregnancy
Functions:
Development of healthy baby
Forms structural basis for all new cells and
tissues
Ensure adequate balance of protein:
energy
Who is at risk of insufficient protein?
2 portions usually sufficient
Women from lower socioeconomic groups
Who is at risk of insufficient protein?
Women suffering from nausea and vomiting
Vegetarians
Women from lower socioeconomic groups
So how much do they need?
Long chain Omega 3 PUFA recommended
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)Helps in the development of foetusLinked to improved retinal developmentForms an important part in the grey
matter of the brain tissuePlay a role in reducing risk of maternal
depression Improving mood Reducing risk of allergy in infants Improved cognitive and visual abilities
Fat Requirement During Pregnancy
Functions:
Important energy source
Provision and aids in the absorption
of fat soluble vitamins
EFSA recommend:
700-1400mg/week of DHA in addition
to the requirement of 1750mg/week
combined EPA and DHA
Achieved in 1-2 portions of oil rich
fish/week
I Heard You Should Avoid Fish?!
Pregnant women should avoid:Marlin
Shark
Swordfish
Limit tuna: 1-2 servings of fresh tuna
(150g) or two cans tinned tuna per
week
Avoid methylmercury
: harmful to
developing
foetus
Fruit and Veg- at least 5 portions/day
1 serving =
½ a grapefruit10-12 berries,
grapes or cherries2 small fruits:
plums, kiwis etc.
1 medium fruit: apple, orange, small banana,
pear
A bowl of homemade
vegetable soup
A bowl of salad-lettuce, tomato,
cucumber
A small glass of unsweetened fruit juice or fruit/veg smoothie (100ml)
1 heaped dessertspoon of raisins or sultanas
Required to provide oxygen for development and growth
Pregnant women need approx. 27mg iron/day WHO recommend 30-60mg of elemental iron/day from
beginning of pregnancy Iron supplement recommend in conjunction with folic
acid Low iron stores before pregnancy are a risk for
developing iron deficiency anaemia Iron absorption from GI tract is increased during
pregnancy Foetus accumulates most of its iron during the last
trimester Iron requirements increase progressively after 25 weeks Must be foetus growth needs as well as mother’s needs Needs are usually met through diet and
supplementation Check iron stores via FBC and serum ferritin
Iron
Sources of Iron
Bioavailability of Iron more important than
actual amount of iron
Haem Iron
Meat
Fish
Poultry
WHO estimate
that 41.8% of
pregnant
women
worldwide are
anaemic
Non-haem iron
Vegetables
Cereals
Eggs
Dried beans
Peas
Lentils
Maternal Iron Status During Pregnancy
Can cause constipation and nauseaHelpful for women with a history of
anaemia
Fat soluble vitamin found in several forms Vitamin A found in foods that come from animals (liver,
whole milk) is called preformed vitamin A- it is absorbed in the form of retinol, which is made into retinal and retinoic acid (other active forms of vitamin A in the body)
Vitamin A that is found in fruit and vegetables is called provitamin A carotenoid, which is made into retinol in the body
Isotretinoin used to treat acne- linked to congenital malformations
Avoid liver and liver products e.g. pate
Vitamin A
Guidance level for safe intake of retinol= 1000ug RE/day (WHO, 1998)
Formation of healthy bones and teeth Extra-cellular fluid Vascular contractions Vasodilation Muscle contractions Neural transmission Glandular secretion IOM recommends 1300mg/day for pregnant and
lactating women. Supplements recommended if diet inadequate
Adequate calcium intake before and during early pregnancy may reduce the risk or severity of pre-eclampsia
Pregnant teenagers need 5 portions dairy/day In populations where calcium intake is low,
calcium supplementation of 1.5-2.0g of elemental calcium/day is recommended (WHO) from 20 weeks gestation until the end of pregnancy
Calcium3 portions per day of dairy or calcium fortified alternatives
Supplement Vitamin D Lipid soluble vitamin important in the metabolism of calcium and phosphorous Promotes calcium absorption and bone mineralisation Increasing prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in pregnant women WHO- Vit D deficiency in pregnancy associated with increased risk of pre-
eclampsia, gestational diabetes mellitus, pre-term birth, small for gestational age infants, impaired foetal skeletal formation and reduced bone mass
Some studies link vitamin D insufficiency with asthma, diabetes, autoimmune disease and certain cancers
Optimum dose pre- and during pregnancy is unknown
Experts believe requirements closer to 1000IU or higher American college of obstetricians and gynaecology recommend daily
consumption of 400-800IU/day
Sources: sunlight, fortified milk, orange juice, cereals, fatty fish, egg yolks, beef liver and cheese
Supplements may be required pre- and during pregnancy as advised by GP
WHO recommend RNI Vitamin D 5ug (200IU)/day
Alcohol and Pregnancy
Advised to avoid alcohol if trying to conceive
Monitor alcohol intake- no more than 1-2 units/day (FSA 2005)
Alcohol crosses placenta and can lead to physical, growth and mental problems in some babies
It is especially important not to drink alcohol at the time of conception and during the first 3 months of pregnancy- the embryo is most vulnerable to the toxic effects of alcohol
Physical Activity
Aids weight loss and weight control
Reduces the risk of type 2 diabetes and aids management of blood glucose levels in type 1 and type 2 diabetes
Lowers LDL cholesterol and increases HDL cholesterol
Keeps blood pressure in check
Study found women who did vigorous exercise 1 year prior to conception were 81% less likely to develop gestational diabetes
Moderate exercisers had a 59% lower risk Benefit was obtained even when woman was
overweight
Also found to lower risk of NTDs by 30-50%
Aim 150mins/ week for weight maintenance and 300mins for weight loss
30mins moderate-intensity activity is recommended during pregnancy (NICE guidelines)
About 70% of women suffer from sickness, usually in early pregnancy
Usually disappears by the end of 4th month
To relieve symptoms try: Eat small and frequent meals Avoid strong smells or flavours Try dry toast, crackers, breakfast cereals, fruit,
veg throughout day Eat less fatty and sugary foods
Morning Sickness
35-40% of women suffer from
constipation during pregnancy
Relieve by: Increasing fluid- 6-8 cups/day Increase fibre intake
Stop iron supplements
Constipation
Heartburn
Symptoms usually get worse at the end of pregnancy 30-50% of pregnant women suffer from heart burn
Relieve by: Avoid chocolate, fatty foods, alcohol and mint,
especially Before bedtime - they tend to relax oesophageal
muscle so that Acid from the stomach regurgitates up into the
oesophagus more easily Avoid acidic and spicy foods that may irritate mucosa
(tomato, citrus fruits and juices, vinegar, hot pepper, etc.)
Milk and dairy products can temporarily relieve the symptoms of heartburn
Eat slowly, drink fluids between meals rather than with meals
Eat small frequent meals, do not eat large meals before bedtime
Sleep well propped up, not lying flat
A healthy diet is important even before you fall pregnant
Being overweight and having an unhealthy diet can lead to infertility issues in both men and women
Folic acid is of vital importance both pre- and post conception to help prevent neural tube defects in baby
Iron, calcium and vitamin D as well as 400mg folic acid daily are of importance during pregnancy
Iron, calcium and vitamin D can be obtained via the diet but supplementation may be necessary where stores are low
Alcohol should be avoided during pregnancy and caffeine should be limited
Vitamin A can be dangerous during pregnancy and concentrated sources should be avoided
In Conclusion
Breastmilk is best for baby and is recommended as the sole source of nutrition until age 6 months
Solid foods should be introduced at 6 monthsWeaning guidelines should be followed to
ensure adequate nutrients are being obtainedPre-schoolers have small appetites and should
be given small and frequent mealsDental health is of concern for children
In Conclusion
Nicola has just received confirmation from her Doctor that she is 4 weeks pregnant- the pregnancy was unplanned
