The capacity for absorption is enhanced in pregnancy but physiological iron requirements increase from 1–2 mg to 6 mg per day (Bothwell, 2000), with increasing demand as pregnancy advances. תוספי תזונה והרגלים בהריון 2019.

Nutritional Supplements During Gestation and Autism Spectrum Disorder: What Do We Really Know and How Far Have We Gone?: Journal of the American College of Nutrition: Vol 0, No 0

Our aim is to provide literature data about the impact of the administration of dietary supplements during pregnancy on the risk of autism spectrum disorder in the offspring. A comprehensive search was undertaken by 2 reviewers independently using PubMed as the medical database source. Prospective clinical and experimental studies were considered and no year-of-publication restriction was placed. We were able to identify 4 basic (conducted in rodents) and 3 clinical research papers fulfilling our selection criteria. Supplements studied included folic acid, iron, multivitamins, choline, vitamin D, and docosahexaenoic acid. Key teaching pointsMultivitamins use during pregnancy can exert a protective effect on the risk of autism, although depending on the frequency of use.

WHO recommendation: calcium supplementation during pregnancy for prevention of pre-eclampsia and its complications. Calcium supplementation during pregnancy for preventing blood pressure disorders and related problems.

We included 27 studies (18,064 women).

Calcium supplementation during pregnancy for preventing blood pressure disorders and related problems

We assessed the included studies as being at low risk of bias, although bias was frequently difficult to assess due to poor reporting and inadequate information on methods. High-dose calcium supplementation (≥ 1 g/day) versus placebo Fourteen studies examined this comparison, however one study contributed no data. The 13 studies contributed data from 15,730 women to our meta-analyses. The average risk of high blood pressure (BP) was reduced with calcium supplementation compared with placebo (12 trials, 15,470 women: risk ratio (RR) 0.65, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.53 to 0.81; I² = 74%).

The composite outcome maternal death or serious morbidity was reduced with calcium supplementation (four trials, 9732 women; RR 0.80, 95% CI 0.66 to 0.98). One study showed a reduction in childhood systolic BP greater than 95th percentile among children exposed to calcium supplementation in utero (514 children: RR 0.59, 95% CI 0.39 to 0.91). Updated clinical practice guidelines on pregnancy care. Antenatal care consists of the care provided by skilled health care professionals to pregnant women and adolescent girls to ensure the best health for both mother and baby during pregnancy.1 It provides an opportunity to communicate with and support pregnant women and their families at a critical time in a woman’s life.

Updated clinical practice guidelines on pregnancy care

Antenatal care is a well accepted part of pregnancy for most women who give birth in Australia.2 It can be provided in both community and acute care settings and usually involves a visit between a pregnant woman and a midwife or doctor, but may involve other health professionals. 7.

Design Systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials; systematic review of registered but unpublished trials. Results 43 trials (8406 participants) were eligible for meta-analyses. Median sample size was 133 participants. Introduction. נייר עמדה תוספי תזונה והרגלים בהריון 2014.

Optimal Serum and Red Blood Cell Folate Concentrations in Women of Reproductive Age for Prevention of Neural Tube Defects: World Health Organization Guidelines

Cordero, MPA1, Krista S. Crider, PhD1, Lisa M. Rogers, PhD2, Michael J. Cannon, PhD1, R.J. Neural tube defects (NTDs) such as spina bifida, anencephaly, and encephalocele are serious birth defects of the brain and spine that occur during the first month of pregnancy when the neural tube fails to close completely. Worldwide, approximately 300,000 newborns with NTDs are born per year (4). Population surveys that assess blood folate insufficiency (i.e., concentrations that increase the risk for having an NTD-affected pregnancy) provide complementary information for examining NTD risk in populations and can provide data relatively quickly.

Folic Acid Supplementation for the Prevention of Neural Tube Defects. Importance Neural tube defects are among the most common major congenital anomalies in the United States and may lead to a range of disabilities or death.

Folic Acid Supplementation for the Prevention of Neural Tube Defects

Daily folic acid supplementation in the periconceptional period can prevent neural tube defects. However, most women do not receive the recommended daily intake of folate from diet alone. Objective To update the 2009 US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommendation on folic acid supplementation in women of childbearing age. Iodine supplementation for women before, during or after pregnancy. We included 14 studies and excluded 48 studies.

Iodine supplementation for women before, during or after pregnancy

We identified five ongoing or unpublished studies and two studies are awaiting classification. Eleven trials involving over 2700 women contributed data for the comparisons in this review (in three trials, the primary or secondary outcomes were not reported). Maternal primary outcomes Iodine supplementation decreased the likelihood of the adverse effect of postpartum hyperthyroidism by 68% (average risk ratio (RR) 0.32; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.11 to 0.91, three trials in mild to moderate iodine deficiency settings, 543 women, no statistical heterogeneity, low-quality evidence) and increased the likelihood of the adverse effect of digestive intolerance in pregnancy by 15 times (average RR 15.33; 95% CI 2.07 to 113.70, one trial in a mild-deficiency setting, 76 women, very low-quality evidence). Infant/child primary outcomes.
