Nutrition Prior to Nutrition Prior to PregnancyPregnancy
• Nutrition may affect fertility• Preparation before pregnancy
– Achieve and maintain healthy body weight– Choose an adequate and balanced diet– Be physically active– Receive regular medical care– Manage chronic conditions– Avoid harmful influences

Growth and Development Growth and Development During PregnancyDuring Pregnancy
• Placental development– Develops in uterus
• Amniotic sac and umbilical cord
– Expelled during childbirth– Interweaving of fetal and maternal blood vessels– Metabolically active organ
• Requires energy and nutrients• Produces hormones
![Page 4: Life Cycle Nutrition: Pregnancy and Lactation](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081507/56815e8b550346895dcd1a81/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Growth and Development Growth and Development During PregnancyDuring Pregnancy
• Fetal growth and development– Fertilization of an ovum by a sperm– Zygote
• Rapidly divides to become blastocyst • Implantation
– Embryo• Eight weeks
– Fetus• Full-term

Growth and Development Growth and Development During PregnancyDuring Pregnancy
• Critical periods– Times of intense development
• Cellular activities can occur only during these times
– Adverse influences on organ and tissue development
![Page 6: Life Cycle Nutrition: Pregnancy and Lactation](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081507/56815e8b550346895dcd1a81/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Growth and Development Growth and Development During PregnancyDuring Pregnancy
• Neural tube defects – Anacephaly
• Brain either missing or fails to develop
– Spina bifida• Incomplete closure of spinal cord & its bony
encasement
– Folate supplementation

Growth and Development Growth and Development During PregnancyDuring Pregnancy
Chronic diseases Adverse influences at critical times during
fetal development Malnutrition – type 2 diabetes Inadequate growth during placental & gestational
development – hypertension
Fetal programming Mother’s nutrition may change gene
expression in fetus

Maternal WeightMaternal Weight Birthweight is most reliable indicator of
infant’s health Weight prior to conception
Influences fetal growth Underweight
Rates of preterm births and infant deaths Overweight & obesity
Medical complications Risks for infant

Maternal WeightMaternal Weight• Weight gain during pregnancy
– Fetal growth and maternal health– Correlates closely with infant birthweight
• Predictor of health and development
– Recommended weight gains

Maternal WeightMaternal Weight• Weight gain patterns
– 3.5 pounds in first trimester– 1 pound per week thereafter– Large weight gain over short time
• Preeclampsia
• Components of weight gain– Placenta, uterus, blood, breasts, fluid volume,
baby

• Hormones promote growth and branching of duct system & milk-producing cells– Prolactin
• Milk production
– Oxytocin• Cause mammary glands to eject milk into ducts

Breastfeeding: A Learned Breastfeeding: A Learned BehaviorBehavior
• Lactation is an automatic, physiological process
• Breastfeeding is a learned behavior– Some decide not to breastfeed
• Factors influencing breastfeeding and its success– Partner– Adequate nutrition and rest

Maternal Energy & Nutrient Maternal Energy & Nutrient Needs During LactationNeeds During Lactation
• Energy intake and exercise– Almost 500 extra kcalories per day– Exercise is compatible with breastfeeding
• Energy nutrients– Recommendations increase for carbohydrates and
fibers• Water
– Prevent dehydration
