VBAC: The BIG picture of the risks
Posted on April 24, 2015 at 9:58 AM |
![]() |
If
you have had a previous cesarean, this is THE “drop” word for many care
providers when they have their “informed consent” talk with patients for
consequent pregnancies. Today I want to take a look at several other complications related to labor and delivery. If your care provider is expecting you to be influenced by risk factors for uterine rupture, I think it is fair to look at all the other risk factors of pregnancy and labor in order to create a bigger picture and put things into perspective. Pregnancy is generally considered a healthy time in a woman’s life. In order to make life, the woman’s body has to be able to support that life. In most cases, it is healthy women who become pregnant. What do we have to be afraid of? In most cases: nothing. However, as with many if not all things in life, there is a certain level of risk, and yes, sometimes things go wrong. So let’s start with the risk numbers for uterine rupture. Read THIS blog post for an in depth look at the numbers. Here is the summary of the incidence of uterine rupture, depending on what category you fall in:
So what are your risks of other complications of labor?
True statisticians are going to take issue with this oversimplification of
comparisons. In recognition that a
percentage is more than its face value, here are the ratios and the sources for
my information: Postpartum Hemorrhage: 1/5 – .2000 – 20% Definition: “Postpartum
hemorrhage is traditionally defined as blood loss greater than 500 mL during a
vaginal delivery or greater than 1,000 mL with a cesarean delivery. However,
significant blood loss can be well tolerated by most young healthy females, and
an uncomplicated delivery often results in blood loss of more than 500 mL
without any compromise of the mother's condition.” Quoted from Medscape “The incidence of postpartum hemorrhage is about 1 in 5 pregnancies, but this figure varies widely due to differential definitions for postpartum hemorrhage.” Stat SOURCE Preterm labor and preterm delivery: 1/9 – .1111 – 11.11% Definition: Baby born before 37 weeks Stat SOURCE Post-Maturity: 3-6% Definition: pregnancy past 42 weeks in which the placenta cannot provide the
nourishment to maintain a healthy fetus
Definitions of the types of breech:
Preterm Premature Rupture of Membranes before 37 weeks: 3% 3% of all pregnancies and occurs in approximately 150,000 pregnancies yearly in the United States Definition: a condition of pregnancy in which the mother’s blood pressure
starts to rise to dangerously high levels, the indicator for possibility of
more complications that are potentially fatal to mother and/or baby; 2% to 6% in healthy, nulliparous women (women who have never given birth yet) Stat SOURCE Placenta Abruptio: 1.0% Definition: the placenta separates from the uterine wall before delivery
of the baby
Stat & Quote SOURCE UTERINE RUPTURE STATS FALL HERE Umbilical cord prolapse: 1/300 – .0033 – 0.33% Definition: the umbilical cord precedes the baby in the birth canal Definition: the placenta grows too deeply through the uterine wall July 2012 study publication Stat SOURCE What do you think now that you have seen a wide array of complications and risks?

Egg Nutrients from A to Zinc
Posted on January 20, 2013 at 1:40 PM |
![]() |
Eggs are a nutritional
powerhouse. They get some bad press now
and then (and I know our acupuncturist doesn’t care for them), however, as a
tool for good nutrition in pregnancy, they can do a lot of good over the 40ish
weeks a mom is building a new human being.
The Brewer Diet
teaches that a mother should eat two eggs a day as part of a high protein,
whole food diet. *gasp* TWO EGGS A DAY! Yes – because
pregnancy is a unique time in a woman’s life when the whole food she eats is
being put to use immediately and for the unique purpose of growing a new
person. In his video, “Nutrition in
Pregnancy”, Dr. Brewer says that we are not talking about eating two eggs a day
for the rest of your life – his recommendation is simply for the length of
pregnancy.
This post is an
expansion of a handout from a Bradley Method® that we provide to our
students. I want to present this
information for a couple of reasons:
Why eggs are so
important for you and your growing baby:
A to ZINC In this section, you
can find the nutritional components found in an egg, plus some alternative
sources for that particular nutrient if you need some ideas. Vitamin A is necessary
for the growth and repair of body tissues.
It is important for eye health. Anti-infection
vitamin: it fights bacteria and infection. In addition, it aids in teeth and bone
formation. Alternatives: liver,
milk, carrots, green and yellow vegetables, broccoli, potatoes, pumpkin, yellow
and orange fruits B vitamins in general
are important for making blood, for keeping your immune system strong and for
helping your body use energy.
Vitamin D: contributes
to bone strength by encouraging the absorption and metabolism of
calcium and
phosphorous Alternatives: Milk, fatty fish, egg yolks, sunshine Calcium: important for the development of strong bones
and teeth. Assists normal blood
clotting, muscle action, nerve function, and heart function. Alternatives: Yogurt,
milk, cheese, dark green leafy vegetables, canned fish with bones, fortified
juices
Cholesterol: it is a prime supplier of life-essential adrenal steroid hormones, such as cortisone,
and sex hormones. Aids in the metabolism
of carbohyrates. Alternatives rich in omega-3 fatty acid: chia seeds, flax
seeds, broccoli, spinach, kale, spring greens, cabbage, parsley, Brussels
sprouts, walnuts
Choline: for fetal brain development. The National Academy of Sciences recommends
increased choline intake for pregnant and breastfeeding women. Two eggs -
including the yolks - contain about 250 milligrams of choline, or roughly half
the recommended daily amount. Alternatives: chicken,
turkey, scallops, shrimp, grass-fed beef, sardines, collard greens, swiss chard,
cauliflower Folic Acid/Folate: is
important in hemoglobin, formation of red blood cells and proper brain
function. Essential for the growth and
reproduction of all body cells. Helps
produce and maintain all new body cells Alternatives: liver,
mushrooms, green leafy vegetables, spinach, broccoli, orange juice, whole wheat
bread, beans Iron: is an important
mineral because it helps existing and new cells grow, helps blood carry oxygen
through the body, helps strengthen muscles
Alternatives: liver,
seafood, lean meat, poultry, cereal, dried beans, egg yolks Lutein and Zeaxanthin: these are antioxidants. The macular pigment of the eye is rich in carotenoids, primarily lutein and zeaxanthin. In fact, macular pigment is mostly lutein and zeaxanthin, two substances that act as antioxidants. By increasing dietary intake of lutein and zeaxanthin, one may minimize the risk of developing Age Related Macular Degeneration. It seems that adding these specific nutrients to your meals may not only sidestep macular damage by free radicals, but they also strengthen macular tissue Alternatives: kale,
spinach, turnip greens, collard greens, romaine lettuce, broccoli, zucchini,
corn, green peas, Brussels sprouts Magnesium: builds
strong bones & teeth, regulates insulin & blood sugar, enzyme function. Although eggs are not a significant source of
magnesium, every little bit counts towards your healthy mom, healthy baby
outcome! Alternatives: spinach,
pumpkin seeds, soybeans, brazil nuts, brown rice, artichokes, dates, wild
salmon Potassium: aids in the
fluid and electrolyte balance of your body's cells. Potassium is also important in sending nerve
impulses, helping your muscles contract, and releasing energy from protein,
fat, and carbohydrates. Alternatives: white
beans, dark leafy greens, baked potato with skin, dried apricots, baked acorn
squash, yogurt, fish, avocados, white mushrooms, bananas Sodium: regulate
fluids, maintains the acid-base balance of blood, and helps nutrients cross
cell membranes. HERE is a link instead of a list for this one because I am going to make a
suggestion instead. The most common
source of sodium is salt. I encourage
you to find foods that have aluminum-free salt.
Instead of eating salty junk foods that are not part of a whole food
diet, find a good table salt that you can use in your cooking and salting your
food to taste. Did you know salt is a
yes?
Zinc: promotes cell
reproduction, tissue growth and repair. Alternatives: red
meats, poultry, fish, beans, nuts, whole grains, oysters, dairy
MENU IDEAS Maybe you are convinced…so now what else can you do with
eggs besides scramble, fry or boil them?
I hope you are
inspired to add some eggs to your diet, starting today. What is your favorite
way to add eggs into your daily fare? LINK LIST More about the B2 (riboflavin) and pre-eclampsia connection

Chocolate Can Be A Yes!
Posted on December 7, 2012 at 12:25 PM |
![]() |
Probably not IF you find a high quality,additive free dark chocolate! (P.S. I have a source for you to try...pictured to the left is Lisa Reinhardt from Wei of Chocolate - heaven in your mouth) The "traditional" concerns with chocolate during pregnancy:
Well, here is the scoop! I am on my way out the door - here are some links for you to peruse and to ponder. The biggest deal for me from this reading list? Chocolate intake seems to be tied to a decrease in a pregnant mother's risk for pre-eclampsia. WOW!!! Chocolate has been shown to be a positive factor in pregnancy http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20609337 Chocolate has health benefits during pregnancy http://suite101.com/article/chocolate-in-pregnancy-a105931 Here is our source for fair-trade, vegan chocolate that keeps all the good stuff in, plus the added benefits of flower essences: http://www.weiofchocolate.com/ As per the caffeine info below, one piece of dark chocolate per day is well below the 200/mg per day max!! What do you think about adding chocolate to your pregnancy diet? *Caffeine During Pregnancy More about caffeine levels during pregnancy from http://www.healthlibrary.com/healthwise.php (You can find this info if you search for "Caffeine During Pregnancy" in their database.) "Caffeine is the most frequently used drug during pregnancy. In small amounts, caffeine is considered safe for the fetus. It's a good idea to keep your caffeine intake below 200 mg a day because:
Caffeine can be found in many types of drinks and in chocolate. The amount of caffeine in your coffee or tea can depend on the serving size, the brand, or how it was brewed. Coffee drinks such as a 16-oz mocha can have 175 mg of caffeine, and a 12-oz regular coffee can have as much as 260 mg of caffeine. Tea can have 30 mg to 130 mg of caffeine in a 12-oz cup. An ounce of milk chocolate can have 1 mg to 15 mg of caffeine, and dark chocolate can have 5 mg to 35 mg of caffeine. Many soft drinks and energy drinks also have caffeine. It is important to keep track of your caffeine intake throughout the day. Check the label if you do not know how much caffeine is in your drink or chocolate bar. Talk to your doctor about caffeine and nutrition during pregnancy."
