3..  How much vitamin D do I need during pregnancy?
Many women in the United States don’t get enough vitamin D when they are pregnant. You may be more likely to be deficient in vitamin D if you:
  • Are obese (overweight)
  • Spend a lot of time indoors, or are covered up when you’re in the sun
  • Have dark skin
How much vitamin D you need when you’re pregnant is a complicated subject and one which doctors and scientists have yet to agree on. Not all organizations recommend the same amount of supplement each day.
Here is a list of the current recommendations for pregnant women from organizations in the United States:
Recommended daily intakes for pregnant women
Vitamin D Council4,000-6,000 IU/day
Endocrine Society1,500-2,000 IU/day
Food and Nutrition Board600 IU/day
In two recent studies from the University of South Carolina, a group of researchers found that pregnant women need to take 4,000 IU of vitamin D everyday to make sure that their newborn child has enough when he or she is born.
The researchers also found that women who took 4,000 IU everyday during pregnancy were more likely to have an uncomplicated birth. Whereas women taking less vitamin D than this were more likely to have a baby born early (before the due date) or to develop gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, or infections. Women taking less vitamin D were also more likely to have a c-section.
This research is the reason why the Vitamin D Council recommends taking 4,000 IU to 6,000 IU of vitamin D every day if you’re pregnant. This will ensure that you’re getting enough vitamin D as a pregnant mother, and getting enough vitamin D to your unborn child.

Poor quality and too little sleep are common during pregnancy, when many women experience fragmented sleep and symptoms of insomnia. Even women who don’t generally experience sleep problems find that during pregnancy they have difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep, as well as trouble getting enough sleep. We talk a lot about sleep issues for new mothers. But new research   suggests we should be paying more attention to the sleep health of expectant mothers as well. Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center found   links between both the quality and quantity of pregnant women’s sleep and complications at birth, including low birth weight ...

Fiber deficiency during Pregnancy...4 Brought to U.... http://successgain.us     and    http://successgain.info   7...  Why do we need to eat fibre? It used to be called “roughage”, and people tried to get rid of it.  Now we have heard plenty about it, but why do we need fibre in our diet? Dietary fibre is actually a form of  carbohydrate that does not get digested by enzymes in our small intestine, and so its sugar units are not absorbed into the bloodstream.  Dietary fibre is therefore known as ‘non-glyceami"‘. However, fibre has important effects on other nutrients within the small intestine and through effects on the large intestine, where few other nutrients arrive intact.  It has a range of valuable health effects: Smooths out digestion and absorption of glucose and fats in the small intestine.  It reduces the Glycaemic index of a meal. Provides fuel for the healthful or  good ba...

Literally. Human body cannot survive without resting, as it fills the body with energy after long, working hours.
