CUSTOMER COMMENTS

Nien-Jung Wu: "I'll have more evidence-based knowledge to discuss with pregnant women and help them to optimize their nutrition during this critical period."

Gretchen Earwood: "I learned more about twin pregnancy and more about specific nutrients needed in pregnancy."

Laura Willets: "This was helpful to break down the different nutritional concerns during each trimester of pregnancy as well as throughout lactation. I also found the section on fertility interesting.

Rachael King: "I will feel more comfortable when recommending nutrition plans and interventions for pregnancy and hyperemesis gravidarium."

Marilyn Musgrave: "This was an especially good product for anyone working for WIC, especially those just beginning work for WIC. All topics addressed. Fit right into what WIC does for pregnant women."

OVERVIEW AND INSTRUCTIONS

Conception, pregnancy, and lactation are a normal part of a woman’s life cycle that uniquely leads to the creation of another human being. In this way, a woman’s health is intimately linked to the health and well-being of future generations. Preconceptional nutritional status and adequate nutrient intake during pregnancy are key factors to a successful birth outcome. Data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Special Supplementary Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) aptly illustrate this point. Program participation is associated with higher dietary intakes of whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables, and low and non-fat dairy products, all of which provide nutrients such as calcium, iron, protein, and vitamins A and C, which are needed in greater quantity by pregnant and breastfeeding women. Also, WIC enrollment has been found to decrease the incidence of low-birthweight by 36 percent, premature birth by 48 percent, and premature delivery by 31 percent. Plus, the percent of women enrolled in WIC that are breastfeeding has increased by over 45 percent to an incidence of 69.8 percent between 2002 and 2014 (Carlson and Neuberger, 2017). Furthermore, supplemental foods provided to WIC participants who exclusively breastfeed their infants have also been found to be cost-saving both in formula non-expenditures and infant health care costs. Thus, the nutrition professional plays an essential role in the health and well-being of both mother and infant.
Chapter I discusses the current status of woman’s nutritional health today and continues with a discussion of dietary factors that can affect fertility. A framework for preconception care is provided.
Chapter II reviews the five-part nutritional assessment process in the context of pregnancy.
In Chapter III, discussion begins with the physiology of pregnancy, followed by an explanation of specific nutrient needs and ways to fulfill these needs. This information is presented in the form of a prenatal meal plan. Guidance is provided for variations in this plan, such as vegetarian food choices, lactose intolerance, adolescence, multifetal pregnancy, and food safety. The chapter concludes by focusing on feeding problems such as hyperemesis, heartburn, pica, and constipation; lifestyle concerns like the use of artificial sweeteners, nicotine, caffeine, and alcohol during pregnancy; and the nutritional management of diabetes, hypertension and eating disorders during pregnancy.
Chapter IV progresses into the topic of lactation with a review of the status of breastfeeding initiation and the benefits of breastfeeding for mothers and infants. As with pregnancy, specific nutrient needs during lactation are discussed, followed by suggestions for implementation in the form of a general meal plan and advice on variations to this basic plan. The discussion then addresses lifestyle concerns that can affect the lactation process as well as the health of mother and infant.
Chapter V concludes with the topic of weight management for lactating and nonlactating women.
A case study provides the opportunity to apply the overall information gained and is included after the final chapter.
This CPE program is a level 2 Continuing Professional Education (CPE) program approved for fifteen (15) continuing professional education units (CPEUs). That means that the reader has a general knowledge of literature and professional practice in the area covered. The focus of the program is to enhance knowledge and application.
