New Rules For A Safe Pregnancy
By Karen Springen
The nine months between conception and delivery are filled with anticipation, and with confusing advice: cut out alcohol, don't dye your hair, avoid Brie. Here's the latest thinking on everything from soft cheese to hot tubs.
Planning ahead. Most birth defects occur three to six weeks after conception. To be safe, begin taking a daily vitamin that contains at least 400 micrograms of folic acid and not more than 5,000 units of vitamin A two months before stopping birth control. Avoid herbal formulations. (See motherisk .org .) And make sure you're immune to German measles and chickenpox, which can cause birth defects.
Weight gain. Don't eat for two. In a 2002 report, the Institute of Medicine recommended that women not increase their food intake in the first trimester. Overweight women should gain no more than 15 to 25 pounds; average women, 25 to 35 pounds; thin women, 28 to 40 pounds.
