Pregnancy and obesity

Pregnancy and obesity

The effects of lack of food, is particularly common in carbohydrates and saturated fats (fast food) which triggers a growing prevalence of overweight and obesity. No doubt, the food industry is increasingly directed, so that people cheaper food exactly prefer the dominance of carbohydrates in the diet of most people.

Nutrition in adults is usually determined by the ratio between the height and weight (body mass index: BMI) assessed, but no mention of the current nutritional status, because of the size of this term also implies large supply of nutrients, dietary vitamins, minerals and trace elements of some may be of crucial importance and high physiological and metabolic, as the concentration of iron and hemoglobin can be easily found, are populations with a low hemoglobin level and obese. Therefore, nutrition is always well defined term health of people, their amplitude is not only the receipt of a proper body mass index, but also the provision of other micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) is committed on the health factors a person's metabolism.

Obesity is a term associated with the significant increase in BMI. BMI increased excess product is deposited on the cell fatty acid triglycerides, it is important how and why they are made to recognize, including triglycerides.

In the diet of male type all thicknesses are crushed, in order to give the process of digestion in the intestine as monosaccharides, in particular in the form of glucose. Glucose in the circulation, whereby transient hyperglycemia. Because insulin by the pancreas, which secretes the entry of glucose into the cell Introduced into the cell, glucose is again immediately (the osmotic effect lose) phosphorylates and glucose-6 - phosphate to the glycolytic pathway, to locate the body in order to generate energy (in the form of ATP). This energy, which is dominated by the activities of each person, and remember that people need Kcal 2200 days on average use 50% of this energy for basal metabolism and the remaining 50% are for daily activities.

If caloric intake is excessive, then there is a damming of the metabolites of glycolysis, leading to the formation of triglycerides. To the formation of two products requires glycerol triglycerides -3 - fatty acids and phosphate. Glycerol -3 - phosphate metabolite glycolysis glyceraldehyde is -3 - phosphate addition, because dietary calories was already above aldehyde and alcohol, and can not with saturated fatty acids, which are the ones that produce bind triglycerides.

Normally, glyceraldehyde-3 - phosphate catalyst should go ahead and in pyruvate to produce what then acetyl-CoA formed in the Krebs cycle, NADH + H and FADH2 then enter a series of nucleotides transportation dora electronics (also called oxidative phosphorylation) to water and energy (ATP). Therefore, the excess energy is provided (excess carbohydrates in the diet), involves the enrichment of glyceraldehyde -3 - phosphate and subsequent conversion to glycerol -3 - phosphate, which requires the presence of saturated fatty acids to synthesize triglycerides.

Fatty acids in turn may be a product of dietary fatty acids and / or product in the synthesis in the cell. When they are in the diet (in the form of fatty acids or in the form of triglycerides, fatty acids are broken in order to be included in the bloodstream) is introduced, then we can synthesize triglycerides. But they are not allowed on the diet, the body can not produce itself when excess glucose in the feed reaches and enters the Krebs pyruvate, stops and allows the accumulation of metabolites citrate leaves the mitochondria and is acetyl CoA and oxaloacetate in the cytoplasm . Metabolite is the source of the organism to synthesize fatty acids. Phosphoenolpyruvate to oxaloacetate trips on which a further increase Glcierol -3 - phosphate.

From the foregoing discussion, it is concluded that no entry required in the diet of fatty acids to form triglycerides as excess carbs only a surplus of glycerol -3 - the synthesis of fatty acids and phosphate. Triglycerides are formed by plasma transferred (bound to a carrier protein: chylomicrons) and deposited in cells called adipocytes.

We can conclude that overweight and obesity are the result of excess ingested carbohydrates (sometimes fatty acids) that cause a greater weight and weight for height, which leads to a more than 24 (overweight), BMI, and if there is more than 28 (obese).

Weight gain during pregnancy: usually a pregnant woman with a BMI = 20 to win, should be 12 kg, 3.5 kg of fat cells (30% of the total weight gain), which serves as an energy reserve for lactation, gestational diabetes Post this step a higher energy than a pregnancy. If the patient is breastfeeding her newborn at least for a period of six months, completely lost fat weight remaining battery capacity during pregnancy and recovered before it can be even lower.

If the patient has more weight gain before pregnancy, less weight, which is obtained their previous weight should.

Obese patients, pregnancy, prenatal care should be strictly in restricting carbohydrates in the diet, as these patients should be less (based on BMI) and should have as the patient and contains triglycerides before pregnancy and therefore reduces weight gain. If the patient has no control over their gestational weight gain increases the risk of complications of obesity (diabetes, polyhydramnios, macrosomia, etc.)

The patient developed overweight and obesity during pregnancy is due to the high consumption of carbohydrates. The excess food energy available, behaves similarly to non-pregnant women. Glycerin is an oversupply -3 - phosphate and citrate via the Krebs cycle, the supply of cytoplasmic acetyl-CoA, the same for the synthesis of saturated fatty acids son that binds with glycerol -3 - phosphate, which leads to an increased synthesis of triglycerides.

Undoubtedly, this complication is the responsibility of the treating physician performs prenatal care, such as preventive check does not evaluate changes in maternal weight and give the restriction of carbohydrates to avoid overweight or obese.

In general, patients with complications of obesity are almost similar for both the mother and the unborn child associated and / or newborns. If the mother before pregnancy fat can be esterified with fatty acids and cholesterol, and therefore, there is a deposition of atheromatous plaques in the vascular endothelium. (5, 6) if it is present, even if hypertension and pregnancy is insufficient production of nitric oxide, which is essential for the physiological vasodilation pregnancy and therefore blood flow to the placenta and fetus will be lower, to changes in fetal growth was. In these cases there is an increased risk of high blood pressure, and a 17% increase in the likelihood of developing gestational diabetes and 90% lead to macrosomia. There is also the risk of preterm delivery (7) In these patients, the treatment only preventive and prenatal care is a rigorous process, especially in the diet and the oil level is weight gain.

In the case of a pregnant woman develops obesity or overweight during pregnancy complications are the same as described above, the patient, but in general, atherosclerosis, and is thus less likely to develop chronic hypertension, although there is an increased risk of pre-eclampsia.

There is also an increased risk for the development of excessive consumption of carbohydrates macrosomia maternal hyperglycaemia lead terms, which produce more fetal insulinismo and thus the synthesis of fetal cells into larger cells occur due to moisture cell eventually producing high weight fetus, but not necessarily an larger number of cells. Since the uncontrolled increase in fetal weight bears the risk of premature birth, because expansion uterus.

In both cases, the patient has a high risk of macrosomia with neonatal hypoglycemia, and certainly follow Caesarean section and maternal tissue healing certainly more difficult, due to excess fat, which makes infections more easily rolled.
Imprint:

Nutritional aspects in humans are crucial for the analysis of metabolic perspective. Excess carbohydrates triglyceride storage includes change in BMI. If the mother of these conditions (either before or during pregnancy), you have a severe prenatal diet (carbohydrates), and the risk increases with conditions such as chronic hypertension, preeclampsia, preterm delivery, macrosomia and polyhydramnios, and a higher prevalence of wound infections by Caesarean section.

labor easier

I remember in over 6 years with my first child. If I water broke 11 days before he could not remember a thing other than "select a point on the wall" and breathe.

But there is more you can do to get the job go a little smoother. Recently I spoke with the hope of Garland, a subsidiary of Bradley instructor, www.blossombirth.net, which recommends the following tips as a surprise. Therefore, if you print out weeks or days away from labor and delivery, do not panic, simply (or favorites on your smartphone), it is so that you can refer to when working.


First Pack it in the protein: if they were about to run a marathon in length, eats only ice cubes? No, you have to eat a meal high in protein. It will work to give you energy (and, many hospitals do not eat as soon as the disk anyway). Make a plan to maintain or something in the fridge / freezer / cupboard or know where they go their food marathon.


Second Do not fight against gravity: standing as long as possible. Walking or sitting, but not lying on his back. (Yes, I'm really in the picture before I learned that you should go.)


Third Stay hydrated: pack (and use) a bottle of water. When properly hydrated during labor, increase your energy levels up to 30%. Also, if you keep drinking, you may not need to really get an IV restrict their mobility. That's when the ice chips and clear liquids may also help.


4th Breathe with the abdomen: normal abdominal breathing increases relaxation, what you really need. Chest and breathing problems, you can fool your body into stress mode, and do not want to know that


5th Take a virtual calm: you must be relaxed. Physically, mentally and emotionally. If music can take a pre-installed on your iPod playlist, find a focal point in the room and breathing. Banish negative energy whenever possible. Although they are not easy, stay as relaxed as possible through the contractions - not to mention let your body do what he has done.


6th Move during the birth: There are a variety of positions for the job. Try the position, so that there is a place for long. Talk to the nurse about how it can be controlled and still move. Wear slippers or socks for hospitals adhere well, so you can remove in the hallways.

7th Make sure the support and encouragement of love: Ask your partner's husband or partner skilled birth attendant can take to make a big difference. This support is more for you than doing lots of drugs!

cancellation of the cervix

In the last weeks of pregnancy, the body of a pregnant woman begins her physical preparation for childbirth. The first signs of labor are effacement and dilation of major changes occur in the neck and work together to help the baby come uteru safely and without problems of its parent company

What is the cancellation of the cervix?

If a woman is not pregnant, and for more than one pregnancy, so her neck is long and thick. In actual measurements, a normal cervix is ​​not very long, only 5.3 cm (1.2 ") long. Prepared in the last weeks of pregnancy, the fundus of the uterus for the baby to pass is getting shorter and thinner. This process is called extinction. As the cervix is ​​becoming increasingly blurred, the more it will be "arrested" seems to get shorter and the time part of the lower uterus (uterine cervix seems to disappear almost). loss is also sometimes referred to as "maturation" or "thinning" .

As the deadline moves, the baby's head goes down and the uterus begins to contract, combined with obliteration and dilatation, and pressure can cause pain and cramping. Women, especially those with their first pregnancy, you might think, this means that they go to work, but these "false labor" or Braxton Hicks contractions are the first signs that the process began. It takes will be completely erased in several weeks for the cervix. (If a woman has her first child, your cervix will be removed before it in subsequent pregnancies, the cervix can expand only expands, then delete it.)

In the last weeks of pregnancy, your doctor will investigate, and report on the cervix can these changes. Obliteration of the cervix is ​​measured as a percentage - for example, is deleted no change 0% if the cervix is ​​half its normal thickness, which is 50% disabled. If the cervix is ​​100%, which is completely free, so that only the free opening at the bottom of the womb the child.

Preparing for Baby: Expansion

Since the cervix is ​​thinner and disappears, but also begins to stretch and open. This is called dilation. This expansion and openness makes it easier for the child's head and the rest of the body through the uterus into the vagina to pass for the delivery.

The degree of expansion is measured in centimeters. For most of her pregnancy, the cervix is ​​zero inches, closed and not extended, hold the baby in a safe and growing. During active labor market policy, your doctor will measure the degree of expansion by inserting a gloved finger into the vagina. Sometimes, the expansion also refers to "finger", based on manual checking, for example, "it is expanded with two fingers." A finger is about one centimeter, but it is a subjective, because the fingers varies, especially between men and women of the examiners.

Work progress is measured by the progression of cervical dilatation of the pregnant woman. Generally felt that the cervix extend to one centimeter per hour of work, but it can not be generalized to all women and pregnancies. 0-4 centimeters dilated than premature birth, and it is not unusual for a woman up to 2 centimeters dilated weeks before the birth. 4-7 centimeters dilation occurs during active labor market policy. 7.10 inches, the phase transition (change of the active phase of labor, the last delivery), and if the cervix is ​​10 centimeters (about the size of a newborn head) is dilated as is ready to give birth.
In the last weeks of pregnancy, the body of a pregnant woman begins her physical preparation for childbirth. The first signs of labor are effacement and dilation of major changes occur in the neck and work together for the baby to arrive safely and stress-free womb.

Two ways to induce a natural birth

In late pregnancy, almost all women, they may begin to feel a little frustrated worried about meeting your little bundle of joy and very satisfied with the uneasy feeling that accompanies a woman in the final stages of her pregnancy. There are many ways safe for women who are at least 39 weeks to induce labor naturally at home. Although women are some methods to start the process naturally induce labor at 37 weeks to make, and some doctors prefer women do not start from the age of the fetus may have been charged. Before you speak one of the following Make sure your gynecologist.

Evening primrose oil

Evening primrose oil is used to ripen the cervix. Once the cervix is starting to expand redeemed at 100%, although in some cases extend the os of the cervix before it is completely erased. Evening primrose oil can be used orally, is inserted into the vagina or rubbed into the neck. At 36 weeks you can be up to two 500 mg capsules of evening primrose oil per day, not preterm labor, if taken correctly, but in preparing the cervix for delivery as soon as we are born of the word. At 38 weeks, the dose to 3 capsules 1 capsule orally and vaginally to be increased. The capsule is inserted into the vagina at night to dissolve and prevent the vagina. In addition to helping to soften the cervix, evening primrose oil has also been shown to prevent women who need an episiotomy after childbirth.

Walking is the preferred method for inducing labor naturally is. This method can be used to walk around the block, through the mail or at home. Some women use a treadmill, but this method should be used safely with another person there. A ball delivery can also be used as a method to induce labor. Guide the ball to move delivery of the baby continues through the birth canal. When using the birthing ball to sit on the ball in the breech position. You can on and off at a pace and of course you can roll the ball back. These methods of induction can that be hard work, but you have a slow and steady. Do not try to walk or a birth center ball when you are on bed rest
