Folic Acid
6
An Orange a Day Keeps Birth Defects Away
Y
ou’ve heard the old adage, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” But if you’re a woman of child-bearing age, make it an orange. Oranges are high in folic acid, the B vitamin that is a critical building block for a developing fetus. “All women should take folic acid,” says Dr. Connie White, OB/Gyn and Director of the Division of Women’s Health at the Kentucky Department of Public Health. “Not just women who are pregnant.” A lack of folic acid has been identified as the key culprit in a class of birth defects called neural tube defects and include spina bifida and anencephaly. These defects develop within the first four weeks of pregnancy, before most women
even know they are pregnant. Because of this, women and girls should begin taking folic acid supplements as soon as they begin menstruating. This is particularly important for women in Kentucky where neural tube defects are twice as common as the rest of the country. Nearly 70% of these defects could be prevented with folic acid supplements. Foods that contain folic acid are citrus fruits, leafy green vegetables and whole grains (including fortified cereals). Getting enough folic acid is so critical that doctors recommend all women take a daily multi-vitamin with at least 400 micrograms of folic acid. Check with your doctor about the amount of folic acid that is right for you. t
Folic acid comes from citrus fruits, leafy green vegetables and whole grains.

Facts About Infertility
q Infertility is defined as the inability to conceive after one year of unprotected intercourse (six months if the woman is over age 35) or the inability to carry a pregnancy to live birth.
q Infertility affects 7.3 million people in the U.S. That’s about 12% of women of childbearing age or about 1 out of every 8 couples.
q After six months of trying, 60% of couples will conceive without medical assistance.
q About 44% of women with infertility seek medical treatment. Of those, 65% eventually give birth.
q Most cases of infertility (85-90%) can be treated with drug therapy or surgical procedures. Only about 3% need advanced reproductive technologies like in vitro fertilization (IVF).

To Ensure Birth of a Healthy Child, Start With Yourself
Y
ou and your partner have decided it’s time to start a family. Time to start choosing furniture for the nursery, right? Not so fast. You’ve got a checklist of chores to do first. Here are some recommendations from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists to get your body and your life ready for pregnancy. q Visit your doctor and get a full physical. If you have diabetes, high blood pressure or a seizure disorder, get the condition under control. q Ask your doctor about medications, herbal remedies and supplements you may be taking. Some of these could cause complications during pregnancy. Tell you doctor about ALL of them. q Check your family history. Your doctor will want to know if you have family members with high blood pressure, diabetes, seizure
disorders, mental retardation, twin pregnancies or genetic disorders. q Begin taking prenatal vitamins. (Please see Page 6.) q Get your diet in order – It’s been on your list of New Year’s Resolutions forever. Start eating a healthy diet and losing (or gaining) those extra pounds. You’ll feel better while you’re pregnant and give your baby a better start in life. q Exercise. It was No. 2 on your list of resolutions, right? Don’t wait until you’re pregnant to start a regular exercise program. With your doctor’s advice, continue to exercise into your pregnancy as well. q It’s time to quit. Whatever habit it is, smoking, drinking, drug use, you have to quit. Dad needs to quit, too. t

Exploring Adoption
F
or a variety of reasons, including infertility, genetics and other issues, many families choose adoption when they want to start or increase their family. In fact, approximately 2.5% of all children under the age of 18 in the U.S. are adopted. Whatever the reason for adopting, the process is the same. Parents must decide what kind of adoption they want to pursue, what age of child they want to adopt and what financial resources they are able to devote to the process. The steps to follow in any adoption are as follows:
14
Educate yourself and your family members. Decide what type of adoption you want to pursue. Investigate ways to handle adoption expenses. Select an adoption agency/facilitator and/or attorney. Complete an agency application form. Begin the home study process. Attend pre-adoption and parenting classes. Be matched with or locate a child. Prepare for your child’s arrival. File a petition to adopt. Finalize the adoption. Learn aboout post-adoption services.

Choosing an Adoption Agency
W
When seeking to adopt using an adoption agency, it’s advisable to use a reputable agency with experience in the type of adoption you are pursuing. Agencies are regulated by state governments, but services and fees can vary widely.
1. Ask for referrals from friends, adoptive parent groups, clergy, doctors and adoption attorneys. 2. Compile a list of the agencies that appear to meet your basic requirements (type of adoption, domestic, international). 3. Verify the license. Call your state adoption agency licensing specialist to make sure the license

is current and no complaints have been filed. 4. Do a background check. To check for complaints and lawsuits, ask the licensing specialist the Better Business Bureau, and/or your state Attorney General’s office. 5. Ask the agency about adoptive parent requirements concerning
marital status, age, income, health. 6. Ask about pre-adoption and post-adoption services, and services provided to birth parents. 7. Ask about up-front fees. Large amounts of money required before any services are provided should set off alarms and should be thoroughly investigated and compared with other agency fees. 8. Request written materials and references from client families. Remember, an agency is not likely to refer you to someone who had a bad experience. 9. Ask if the agency offers a free orientation. 10. Ask how long the agency has been in business and how many adoptions they have completed.
Don’t forget to ask about the percentage of adoptions that have failed. 11. Ask the length of the average wait. 12. Ask for an itemized list of costs and fees, including expenses for the placing parents, and understand clearly what is included and what is not. 13. Ask for the agency’s professional affiliations and standards of practice. 14. Trust your instincts. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is. 15. Don’t work with an agency you haven’t personally investigated. Information in this article is courtesy of www.Adopting.org t

P
By Sharon Steele, M.D., Lexington Clinic Obstetrician
regnancy is an exciting time for you and your family. To ensure that you have a healthy, comfortable pregnancy, listed below are 10 questions every woman should ask her OB during her first prenatal visit. Being well informed will help to reduce your pregnancy anxiety and ensure that you know what to expect, what to do and how to handle questions or concerns in all stages of pregnancy. 1) Which hospital will I deliver at?
18
2) Which hospital should I go to if I have problems during my pregnancy? 3) Will there be someone to answer questions after hours, evenings and weekends? 4) Will I be assigned a primary OB physician or will I rotate among all of the providers? 5) Will my prenatal care and/or delivery be done by midwives, physician assistant or a physician? 6) How far do I have to go past my due date before I can be induced?
baby bump 2010
7) How often will I be seen during the pregnancy? 8) Is there a physician available in the office if I have a problem during my pregnancy or postpartum? 9) Should I have a birthing plan? 10) Do you offer first trimester screening for birth defects? Remember, being an active participant in your pregnancy care will provide you with peace of mind and allow you to enjoy the time leading up to the birth of your baby.

Your Healthy Diet During Pregnancy

t’s important to eat smart and make healthy food choices from the five food groups every day. They provide important nutrients that you and your baby need. In general, most women need 300 extra calories per day during pregnancy. (One extra healthy snack, such as four fig bars and a glass of skim milk, will provide these calories.) However, the exact amount of extra calories you need depends on your weight before pregnancy. Talk to your health provider to learn more about a healthy eating plan that’s right for you. Be sure to watch your serving sizes -- you may be eating more than you need to.
Remember: Fatty foods (like doughnuts and chips) and sweets (like sodas, cookies and candy) don’t give your baby enough of what she needs to grow.

Milk Products 3 Cups Per Day 1 cup of milk product is equal to: 1 cup milk or 1 cup yogurt 1 1/2 ozs. natural cheese (examples: cheddar, parmesan) 2 ozs. processed cheese (example: American)

Foods to Avoid
S
ome foods can make you and your baby sick. Avoid these foods listed below that can cause food poisoning or contain harmful chemicals. Canned and shelf-stable versions are safe. • Fish such as shark, swordfish, king mackerel and tilefish can be high in mercury. It’s acceptable for pregnant women to eat a limited amount of fish that have small amounts of mercury. You can eat up to 12 ounces of these fish a week. The 12 ounces can include: Shrimp, salmon, pollock, catfish and canned light tuna Albacore (white tuna): Don’t eat more than 6 ounces of this tuna in one week Always check with your local health department before you eat any fish you catch yourself. t

e e w t S H e ome m o H Newborns Spend Nearly 75% of Their Time in Their Cribs
getting ready for baby
By Bud Spoerl

A
fter having been provided a home for nine months, your baby is ready for the big transition to sleeping quarters that aren’t quite so confining. Your choice of a crib will serve as more than just a place for baby to spend the night. It will also be home for daytime naps. And as your baby grows, her crib will provide a happy place to play and coo before going to sleep, or anxiously awaiting that first greeting of the day from Mom or Dad. During her first year, your baby will spend nearly three-fourths of each day in her crib. This will become her own little source of comfort and security, and will also provide a “safe” zone when you need time to handle little household chores. baby bump 2010
For these reasons, shopping for your baby’s first “home” should be a fun and rewarding experience. What should you keep in mind when making this important investment? n Most cribs are “convertible” into a toddler bed, and later a full-size bed, so choose a style and finish that can be enjoyed for years to come. Later this will ease her transition to a “grown-up” bed. n When considering a convertible crib, be sure that
coordinating items such as dressers, night stands and mirrors are also available. n Be aware of crib recalls, and buy from a store where you feel confident in the quality and reputation. For the latest information on crib recalls, visit the Consumer Product Safety Commission at www.cpsc.gov. n Avoid buying a crib at a garage sale or using a hand-me-down. Many of those have missing or damaged hardware or parts. n Look for Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association certification to be assured all current safety standards are met. Listings of baby products certified by the JPMA are available
at www.jpma.org. n Choose a good firm crib mattress. A rule of thumb - if it feels comfortable to you, it’s probably too soft for your baby. Soft mattresses have been associated with the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. For more information on reducing the risk of SIDS, visit www.sids.org. Remember, this is where she’ll be spending most of her time as her young body develops. Bud and Donna Spoerl are the owners of Baby’s Room and Kids Too on Nicholasville Road in Lexington.

It is never safe to let your baby sleep with you. In the past few years, the number of babies who have died while co-sleeping with an adult has increased dramatically. Room sharing is a safer alternative to sharing a bed with your baby and is a good way to bond with your baby at bedtime. With a baby-safe crib placed next to your bed, your baby will sense your nearness and still have a safe place to sleep.

afe Kids Fayette County reminds parents and caregivers to plan ahead to make safe spaces for babies "at home, at play and on the way." In the nursery: Remove pillows, soft bedding and toys from your baby's crib. Put your baby "back to sleep" (face up) on a firm mattress. Make sure you can't fit a soda can between the crib slats. Make sure the crib's corner posts are the same height as the end panels. In the bath: Mix hot and cold water together, and test the temperature before putting the baby in. Set your hot water heater to 120 degrees to help prevent scalding. Never leave a baby alone in the bath. In the play room: Do not use baby walkers. Use play centers that stay still instead. Check regularly for damages such as sharp edges.

Keep toys with small parts or other choking hazards away from children under age 3. . Toys with strings, straps or cords longer than 7 inches can accidentally strangle them. Electrical toys are a potential burn hazard. Make sure toys are stored safely. In the home: Install guards on windows that you will open, and tie up cords on curtains and blinds. Install smoke alarms on every floor and outside all sleeping areas. Install safety gates at top and bottom of stairs. Always strap babies into high chairs, swings, changing tables and strollers. Keep cleaning products, medicines, and other poisons locked and out of reach. Keep the poison control hotline number (800-2221222) and emergency numbers by every phone. t www.BabyBumpLexington.com

W
hile celebrities are often the first to sport the hippest trends, baby wearing is an ancient form of baby care that has been around since the beginning of cloth. Why would you want to wear your baby? The simple fact is that babies need to be held -- it assures them that someone is there to care for them. As parents, we want to meet our baby’s needs, but in our individualistic, independent culture we worry about “spoiling” babies.
baby bump 2010
However, a child who is secure that her needs will be met will be more independent and communicative. Perhaps most important, baby wearing reduces stress in both the parent and the baby. You can meet your baby’s needs and accomplish other tasks. Other benefits include: n Convenience -- Easier than lugging those heavy, awkward carseat carriers n Reduced crying -- Studies show that babies who are held more cry less n Soothing baby with the sound, smell and warmth of your body n Allowing baby to be an active participant in the world by being in a position to view daily activities n Easy, discreet nursing in public n Communication -- Being attached to your baby allows you to be more sensitive to your child’s cues n Increased independence -Children who are secure in having their needs met grow to be more confident and independent n Reduced risk of postpartum
with the movements and rhythms of your body, stimulating a baby’s own physical responses and exercising the vestibular system (balance) While the reasons to wear your baby vary widely, the most important thing to remember is that a happier, more relaxed baby makes for a happier, more relaxed parent. And that is something on which you simply cannot put a price tag.

Get Your Body Back! othering a newborn requires a huge emotional and physical adjustment. And new moms have a lot on their plate -- including pressure to “get their body back” after birth. Magazines that tell us how the “celebrity moms” did it in six weeks don’t help most new moms. Let’s face it, new moms feel like they’ve really accomplished something just by getting in a shower. My recommendation? Unless your family’s livelihood depends on you making the next Sports Illustrated cover, it’s time to forget about Heidi Klum and reset your expectations. “Getting your body back” after giving birth begins with getting your vitality back. A common recommendation is to wait six weeks before

beginning any exercise, but I haven’t met a new mom yet who takes it easy for six weeks after birth. One way to begin getting your groove back (safely) is to start moving your body as soon as you feel ready. Gentle, safe movement can and should begin immediately after birth, speeding healing, raising your energy level and increasing your sense of well-being. Consult with your doctor or midwife, and consider these guidelines as you reclaim your sense of self.
Breastfeed. Numerous health benefits aside, breastfeeding also burns 600 extra calories per day -- the equivalent of two hours of aerobic exercise. Professional support is readily available as you and baby learn the ropes. Kegel. Thought you were

fter six weeks and with the approval of your care provider, you are physically cleared to begin any exercise program your heart desires -- but that doesn’t mean that you or baby are ready for a serious commitment. Be patient with yourself, especially during the “fourth trimester” when baby’s needs are still very high and you are still recovering. Remember that taking care of another human being means you still need extra calories (if you are breastfeeding), a healthy diet, and plenty of water. Cultivating a healthy lifestyle and positive self-image is important -- for you and for your baby, who learns by watching your example.

done with that? Not a chance. Returning tone and strength to the pelvic floor is as important now as ever, and you can begin immediately after birth. Go outside. 10-15 minutes of sunlight per day boosts the immune system and increases our “happy” hormones. Walk. When you feel ready, start walking with baby. Wearing your baby in an ergonomic baby carrier is less straining than pushing a stroller or carrying a car seat, and it keeps baby close as you venture out. Get a massage. A one-hour massage has endless health benefits and is safe with a postpartum therapist one week after vaginal birth and two weeks after cesarean. Find a class designed for the needs of new moms and babies. With your care provider’s OK, gentle stretching and deep breathing in a mom and baby yoga class can begin as early as three-four weeks after a normal vaginal birth. Do not underestimate the value of being with other new moms. No fitness video can replicate the health benefits of community and support during this transitional time.

The Benefits of Breastfeeding
34
By Doraine Bailey
ebating whether to breastfeed or not? Consider the health benefits to the baby and mom, plus the financial benefits for the whole family. Babies who receive nothing but breastmilk for at least the first 3 months of life have about half of the doctor sick visits in the first year than formula-fed babies. Breastfed babies are less likely to get common infections like diarrhea, ear infections, food poisoning, bronchitis, colds and flu. In contrast, babies who are never breastfed have a higher risk for getting sick because their immune systems have a harder time fighting off these common infections. Non-breastfed babies are also more likely to develop longterm health problems such as asthma, skin rashes, food allergies, overweight, diabetes and possibly some cancers.
they’re supposed to, reducing the risk that cancer cells can develop.
In addition to the health benefits, breastfeeding is practically free. You will have a few ‘up front’ costs, like a nursing bra or two, some breast pads and maybe a breast pump for moms who return to work. Formula is expensive. A three-month supply of regular formula ranges from about $195 to $480. If the baby needs a specialized formula, then three months alone can run well over $1,000. Because formula-fed babies tend to get sick more often, there’s also the cost of doctor visits and medications. Becoming a parent means learning a lot of new skills. Taking the time to learn breastfeeding can pay off for mom, baby, and family now and in the future. Mothers who breastfeed also enjoy It is an investment that can last a health benefits.

New parents eagerly look forward to bringing their baby home, so it can be frightening if your newborn needs to be admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). The NICU is an intensive care unit created for sick newborns who need specialized treatment. Babies may be sent to the NICU if they’re born prematurely, have difficulties during delivery or show signs of problem in the first few days of life.
breathing, or something to help her blood pressure or heart rate. To ensure that your baby’s care stays on track, doctors also will order tests, possibly including periodic blood and urine tests, X-rays and ultrasounds.
Bonding with a baby in the NICU is as important as bonding with any newborn, sometimes even more so.
What to Expect in the NICU Walking into the NICU can feel like stepping onto another planet. The unit is often busy, with lots of activity, people moving around, and beeping monitors. Once settled in the unit, your baby will receive care tailored to your little one’s specific needs. Most NICU babies are on special feeding schedules, and medications are another crucial part of NICU care. Your child may be given antibiotics, medicine to stimulate
Bonding With Your Baby in the NICU All the machines may seem overwhelming but don’t let them keep you from interacting with your baby. Bonding with a baby in the NICU is as important as bonding with any newborn, sometimes even more so. You simply have to learn the best way to do it. Parents can visit and spend time with their NICU babies. The number of people who can visit a baby in the NICU may be limited, but parents are usually allowed to stay almost 24 hours a day. A baby’s NICU stay can be difficult, but it can also be rewarding as you watch your child grow and progress each day. This article is courtesy of KidsHealth at www.kidshealth.org. t
