Answer 8

The first three months of pregnancy is the most crucial stage in your baby's development as all organs are forming. Throughout your pregnancy, but especially during the first three months, be very careful about using alcohol, drugs and medication. The following information outlines substances that require special precautions during pregnancy. Instructions are also given on how to keep track of fetal movements, an important sign of your baby's health.

1)Fish and Seafood--------
Fish and seafood are excellent low-fat sources of many nutrients and an important part of a healthy diet. However, there is a concern about eating fish and seafood during preganancy, since many types of fish may contain high levels of mercury. To be safe, choose wisely among types of fish.

1a)Precautions----
Eat no more than 12 ounces of cooked fish a week.
Do not eat shark, swordfish, king mackerel or tilefish.
Limit albacore (white) tuna (even canned) to once a week.
If you eat fish caught by family and friends from local waters, check local advisories about the safety of fish.
Fish sticks and fast food sandwiches are commonly made from fish low in mercury.
For more information about the risks of mercury in fish and seafood, visit U.S. Food and Drug Administration web site



2)Alcohol---------
No one knows how much alcohol is safe to drink during pregnancy

The danger of alcohol use during pregnancy is that it may cause fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS). Babies born with FAS may:
grow more slowly
have learning problems
have abnormal facial features
There is no cure for these problems caused by fetal alcohol syndrome.

Alcohol is an ingredient in many over-the-counter medicines. For example, some cough medicines are 25 percent alcohol. Ask your health care provider if you should use such products during pregnancy. Always read the label before taking any medicine.

2a)Precautions---------
Because there is no known safe level of alcohol taken during pregnancy, the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism and the March of Dimes caution pregnant women to follow the safest course:
Completely avoiding alcoholic beverages while pregnant.
Discuss your concerns about alcohol and pregnancy with your healthcare provider.




3)Caffeine --------
Caffeine is a stimulant that affects people differently. Caffeine can cause nervousness, irritability, anxiety, irregular heartbeats and problems sleeping. How caffeine affects an unborn baby is still under investigation. Some scientists believe caffeine can cause premature or smaller than normal babies or possible birth defects.

3a)Precautions
Cut down or eliminate food and drinks that contain caffeine such as coffee, tea, colas and other soft drinks, cocoa and chocolate.
Caffeine is an ingredient in many non-prescription medicines such as headache, cold, allergy, and pills made to combat drowsiness.
If you have been consuming caffeine in large quantities, gradually decrease your intake. Stopping all at once can cause severe headaches, nausea, fatigue and other symptoms. Check with your health care provider for more information.


4)Cigarettes ----------
Cigarette smoking may lead to serious health problems. Women who smoke during pregnancy usually give birth to babies that weigh less than those of women who don't smoke. Low birth
weight babies are more likely to have health problems such as:
Infections
Trouble keeping warm
Feeding problems
Breathing problems.
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)
New research shows that exposure to second hand smoke is also linked to SIDS and can cause major health problems to your baby.

4a)Precautions-------------
Stop smoking or cut down your smoking when pregnant. There are many community programs available to assist you. Call the American Cancer Society for information on Smoke-Stopper Programs in your area. Call 1-800-NOBUTTS(800-662-8887).
Avoid smokers and smoking areas whenever possible.


5)Food Additives

5a)Precautions
Whenever possible, try to minimize your use of
Processed food items (such as hot dogs)
Foods containing sodium nitrate, such as cured meats (hams, bacon, etc.); these substances may be carcinogenic (cancer-causing).
Be sure to wash fruit and and peel carrots to avoid eating pesticides used on farms to kill insects.


6)Food Handling Concerns ---------
Eating raw fish, meats or poultry may increase your risk of infection or parasitic disease. Cooking food destroys bacteria and parasites. Milk that is not pasteurized may also cause illness.

6a)Precautions--------------
Avoid eating raw fish (sushi, ceviche), meats or eggs.
Only drink pasturized milk.
Cook your fish, meat, poultry and eggs thoroughly.
Always wash cutting boards after slicing any raw fish, meats, or poultry.
Recommendations
Run plastic cutting boards through the dishwasher.
Microwave wooden boards for five minutes.


7)Medications and Herbs -----------
Some medications and herbs may harm your baby. Before taking any medication or medicinal herbs during your pregnancy, ask your health care provider these questions:
What is this medicine/herb?
What does it treat?
What are the side effects my baby or I may experience?
What is the smallest effective dose?
How long will I need to take this medication?

7a)Precautions---------
Be cautious about using medicines that contain multiple ingredients. They are more likely to contain extra substances, that may harm your baby.


8)Saunas and Hot Tubs ---------
Avoid saunas and hot tubs that maintain a temperature greater than body temperature. They can potentially cause overheating and possible affect the development of your baby.

8a)Precautions----------
Avoid possible overheating. Check with your health care provider for recommendations.


9)Toxoplasmosis --------
Toxoplasmosis is a condition caused by a parasite found in cat feces, plant soil, and raw or undercooked meat. The parasite can cause brain damage in a developing baby if the mother becomes infected during pregnancy.

9a)Precautions-----------
Avoid contact with cat feces. Have someone else change the litter box.
Wash dirt from fresh produce before eating.
Use gloves when you garden.
A blood test is available to determine if you have been exposed to toxoplasmosis. Ask your health care provider for more information.
Cook all meat to at least medium, preferably well done.
