The most comprehensive guide to first trimester dos and don’ts you’ll ever need!

The most comprehensive guide to first trimester dos and don'ts you'll ever need!

by Dr Anitha Anchan

Pregnancy is a normal phase of life. Yet, the moment your pregnancy is confirmed a million questions haunt your mind – what to eat and what to avoid, should I exercise or not, will my medicines affect my growing baby. You are anxious to know what's right and what's not.  Here's a list of dos and don'ts which will help you get through your first trimester.

Dos

1.   Get your required number of calories from all food groups, not just fat!

Nutritional needs increase during pregnancy and to meet them you need to have a well-balanced diet. According to Naini Setalvad, a renowned nutritionist and diet and obesity consultant, you need to include variety of foods in the diet like whole grains, pulses, legumes and nuts. Meat, poultry, eggs and fish also provide protein. Incorporate whole fruits and vegetables and whole pulses and grain cereals that contain plenty of fibres. Drink plenty of water. (Read: 10 diet dos and don'ts during pregnancy)

2.  Make sure you get your calcium from milk or other food

Calcium is necessary for healthy nerves and muscles and for the growth of your baby's bones and teeth. It also helps prevent high blood pressure brought about by pregnancy. Take 600 ml of milk or milk products every day for the calcium content. Lactose intolerant mothers can substitute it with jaggery, nachani, etc. says our expert Sonali Shivlani, an Internationally Certified Pregnancy, Lactation and Child Nutrition Counsellor.

3.  Get your dose of vitamin D

Do this either through food like egg yolks, herring, sardines, tuna, salmon, fortified milk, fish liver oil, or through exposure to sunlight. It helps maintain calcium and phosphorus levels. And a lack of it during pregnancy can not only increase your risk of developing preeclampsia but can also cause your baby to lack the vitamin at birth increasing the risk for abnormal bone growth and delayed physical development.

4.  Increase your intake of  omega-3 fatty acids

They are necessary for the development of your baby's brain, nerve and eye. Good sources of omega-3 fatty acids are flaxseeds and fish. 

5.  Take iron and folic acid supplements as prescribed by your doctor

Our expert Sonali Shivlani stresses on the importance of taking supplements (only those prescribed by a doctor). During pregnancy, the baby develops rapidly and hence needs nutrients in the right proportion. If folic acid is deficient in the mother, it can lead to complications in the mother and defects in the baby as well. Folic acid is important during the pre-conception and early pregnancy phase because this is when the foetus develops spine and nerve cells. Deficiency can lead to neural tube defects or malformation of the spine in the developing baby – known as spina bifida – it has a life-long impact on the child.

For the mother, folic acid is especially important as it is responsible for the development of blood cells which reduces incidents of certain types of anaemia. And with the right haemoglobin levels, a pregnant mother can nourish the developing foetus well. All this helps in reducing the chances of IUGR (Intrauterine Growth Retardation) in the baby. Folic acid supplements also help the mother manage pregnancy symptoms such as tiredness and fatigue better. There are foods like green leafy vegetables, dried herbs, sunflower seeds, peanuts, bean sprouts, beans, soybean and liver that are great sources of natural folic acid. 

The recommended dietary allowance for iron in normal adult women is 21 mg/day and during pregnancy it is 35 mg/day. Iron is required for making baby's blood as well as for maintaining mothers own iron levels. According to a study, taking iron supplements during pregnancy can reduce the risk of anaemia and low birth weight. Other sources of iron are green leafy vegetables, sesame seeds, legumes, jaggery, meat, fish and egg. (Read: Load up on iron ladies)

6.  Eat frequent, smaller meals

You must remember that there are various hormonal changes and food gets digested more slowly, says Sonali Shivlani. The baby needs to be fed constantly so eat every two to three hours. Small mini-meals can also help prevent common pregnancy complaints like acidity, nausea and that bloated feeling, she adds.

7.  Gain weight gradually

How much weight you should gain during your pregnancy depends on your body mass index or BMI (your body weight divided by the square of your height) before you conceived. For the optimal growth of your baby you should gain around 0.5- 2 kg in the first trimester. Weight gain during pregnancy helps nourish the baby and accumulate calories to produce milk for breast-feeding. You should gain weight at a steady pace.

Inconsistent weight gain, too little or too much, can affect your baby adversely. Gaining very little weight during pregnancy can lead to premature delivery and low birth weight. It may also cause developmental delays and chronic health problems in your baby.

On the contrary, putting on too much weight increases your risk of high blood pressure (pre-eclampsia) and gestational diabetes. It may also lead to an overweight or obese baby which may necessitate a caesarean birth. You may also have a tendency to retain too much weight after pregnancy which may cause higher weight and its accompanying problems in subsequent pregnancies.

Giving out some handy dos and don'ts for mothers-to-be about eating habits, Naini Setalvad says that every pregnant woman needs to understand that she is NOT eating for two people. She only requires 300 more calories than her normal diet. Nutritionist Sonali Shivlani says that just two slices of bread, a glass of milk and an extra fruit per day are enough to complete that requirement.

8.  Get some exercise

It is important to keep yourself active during pregnancy. Stretching can help improve your muscle flexibility. Regular gentle exercise can help ease or prevent back pain, boost your energy, build stamina and help you prepare for the physical changes of labour and delivery. Scientists have found that women who exercise during pregnancy are less likely to require a caesarean birth. And the ones undertaking brisk walking in particular, thrice a week, could reduce their risk of having a heavy infant by half. Exercise also lowers the chances of developing a type of diabetes that only affects pregnant women. But avoid strenuous exercises. However, discuss with your doctor before starting any new activity. (Read: Why pregnant women need exercise)

9.  Don't miss your visits to the doctor

Your prenatal check-ups are your window into the womb and they help detect any issues early and can be corrected in most cases. Blood tests and ultrasonography are routinely done during pregnancy. Blood tests can determine your blood type and also help rule out anaemia, infections etc. If you are in a high-risk category you may get blood tests done for genetic disorders screening. Ultrasonography may be used to visualize the foetus in your womb at around four and a half weeks after your last menstrual period (LMP). It can tell you how many weeks you are into pregnancy and how healthy your baby is. You may be able to see your baby's heartbeat by seven weeks after LMP. Ultrasonography can also help detect certain birth defects.

10. Increase your fluid intake

Blood volume needs to increase during pregnancy to facilitate oxygen and nutrient delivery to both you and your baby. So drink plenty of fluids. It can also prevent dehydration and constipation. Sipping iced water could offer some relief from nausea and vomiting.

11. Get lots of sleep

Most pregnant women experience nausea, vomiting, dizziness, heartburn and a constant need to pee mostly during this time of pregnancy. This can make you feel tired. Hormonal changes also make you feel worn out. So make it a point to get few naps whenever possible. Try to turn in early to bed. (Read: Top five foods to help you sleep)

12. Get your teeth professionally cleaned

Pregnancy gingivitis is caused by hormonal changes that can make your gums more sensitive to the bacteria in plaque. If left untreated, it can lead to periodontitis, a more severe form of gum disease.

According to some studies, severe gum disease has been linked to preterm birth and low birth weight.

Practising good oral hygiene habits can help you enter and complete your pregnancy in good health. Brush at least twice a day, floss once a day and use an antimicrobial mouth rinse. Getting a professional dental cleaning before getting pregnant or during pregnancy would be more important than ever. (Read: Dental hygiene basics)

13. Cut down on caffeine

It is best to cut down or skip caffeinated drinks altogether. Large amounts of caffeine consumption and an increased risk of miscarriage have been linked in some studies. High levels of caffeine have also been linked to lower birth weight and stillbirth. But caffeine intake in moderation is unlikely to harm your baby. Or you can switch to decaffeinated drinks instead. (Read: Coffee can make women infertile)

Don'ts

1. Don't take any medication unless necessary

Medicines taken by you can cross the placenta and enter the bloodstream of your baby. Hence it's best to know the safety of any medications you're taking during pregnancy – especially in the first trimester. It is during this trimester that your baby's organs are rapidly developing making them potentially vulnerable to ill effects of the medicines. Some drugs have been linked to increased risk of miscarriage. There are certain medications like anti-epileptic drugs which can cause genetic defects in the baby. If you are already on medication for a previous health condition talk to your doctor regarding its safety or alternatives. Your doctor will replace more toxic drugs with milder ones so that the baby is affected as little as possible.

2. Don't be too adventurous with food

Foods to be avoided during pregnancy include raw/undercooked meat, soft cheese, seafood and raw eggs. They could be possible sources of harmful bacteria and parasite. Bacterial infection may cause severe food poisoning. If you get infected for the first time with toxoplasmosis parasite during your first trimester of pregnancy it can cross the placenta and harm your baby. Keep away from seafood that is high in mercury which can damage the developing nervous system of your baby and cause developmental delays and brain damage.

3. Reduce your exposure to environmental pollutants

We are exposed to lots of potentially toxic pollutants every day.  Try and avoid the obvious ones as far as you can. Limit your exposure to household cleaning products and paints which contain harmful toxins that may be inhaled or absorbed through the skin and put your baby's health at risk.

Clean your vegetables thoroughly to rid them of the pesticides which have been linked to neural tube defects, limb deformities, etc.

According to a study, women exposed to elevated levels of ozone air pollution (smog) in the first three months of pregnancy may be at increased risk for complications such as preeclampsia and premature birth.

Another study claims that pregnant women who drink water with traces of arsenic may give birth to babies who have increased odds of respiratory infections.

4. Quit smoking

When you smoke during pregnancy, your unborn baby gets affected by the chemicals from the cigarette. There is an increased risk for premature rupture of the amniotic sac, placenta previa (a condition where the placenta is placed in an unusual position in the uterus), miscarriage, and neonatal death.

It has also been found that new-borns whose mothers smoked during pregnancy have the same nicotine levels in their bloodstream as adults who smoke. The child goes through withdrawal symptoms from the first day of its life, just like an adult would.

Passive and active smoking during pregnancy increases the risk of health and behavioural problems in the baby and is linked to infant mortality.

According to a British research, pregnant women who puff can triple their baby's chance of developing meningitis. Chewing tobacco during pregnancy decreases the gestational age at birth and decreases birth weight. (Read: Natural remedies to quit smoking)

5. Don't drink alcohol

Well, you may have to give up on alcohol too. It increases the risk of miscarriage. Alcohol can cross the placenta and reach your baby's bloodstream. Excessive drinking impairs the mental and physical development of your baby, in what is known as foetal alcohol syndrome. It is known to cause a range of health problems from behavioural disorders and impaired IQ to facial disfigurement in unborn babies. It may also be a contributing factor for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children. 

6.  Don't get stressed, depressed

Abnormal stress which makes you sad and unhappy should be avoided. High levels of stress can affect the unborn baby's health and increase your chances of miscarriage.

Stress and depression stimulate the production of certain chemicals and hormones in your body that can constrict blood vessels and decrease oxygen supply to the uterus and affect your baby's growth. (Read: Feeling stressed? Try these natural remedies)

7. Don't go on diet while you're pregnant

You may end up with deficiency of iron, folic acid, vitamins and minerals which can potentially harm you and your baby. If you are morbidly obese when you get pregnant your doctor may advise you to lose weight. But it should be done only under his/her supervision.

8. Don't use hot tubs/ sauna

Stay out of saunas and hot tubs. They have been linked to an increased risk of miscarriage. They can raise your core body temperature which can cause dehydration and threaten the developing baby.

Ditch those open pores: Your dermatologist’s guide to clear skin

Ditch those open pores: Your dermatologist's guide to clear skin
by Dr Kiran Lohia

Open pores can be tricky to handle. They are easily visible on the face and even if you cover them with make-up, it is a temporary solution which may worsen the condition due to the chemicals in your cosmetics. With so many products in the market that claim to do everything from shrinking the pore size to making pores disappear, one wonders what can really be done. Can you actually shrink pores? And why do they happen in the first place? Read below to get the real deal from New York Dermatologist Dr Kiran Lohia, who has brought the latest American dermatological therapies to New Delhi.

Pores are not bad, they are necessary!

A pore is essentially the pathway for oil to reach the skin. At the bottom of the pore is a sebaceous gland, or oil gland, which makes sebum to help keep the skin moisturised and protected. Once made, this sebum or oil travels up through the canal and exits through the pore. This is in fact, essential to keep our skin naturally soft and supple.

Why do pores increase in size?

Certain factors like the ones mentioned below are responsible in increasing the pre size.

Oily skin

Now that you know what a pore is, it is easy to understand why pores can increase in size. In fact, you will notice that people with overactive oil glands (or oily skin) tend to have larger pores. Essentially, with so much oil production, the pores get blocked, which can result in inflammation within the pores. This inflammation and extra sebum causes build-up and stretches the walls of the pore canal. Ultimately, with this constant stretching, the elasticity of the pores reduces, and the opening becomes larger. (Read: How to manage sensitive skin)

Excess exposure to sunlight

Sunlight damages the collagen in the skin ultimately reducing elasticity as well, which in turn leads to increased pore size. (Read:How to choose the best sunscreen)

Ageing

Due to the degradation of natural proteins which maintain the skin's texture and complexion, the skin loses its elasticity and has pores which are bigger. (Read: 3 secret anti-ageing potions revealed!)

What daily routine should I follow to improve this condition?

First of all, don't overwash your skin. When you wash your face more than twice a day, your skin thinks that there is too little oil in it. This makes the glands overproduce oil ultimately making you greasier and your pores look even worse.
Second, use a salicylic acid based cleanser like Sali-Q Active Cleanser that helps reduce oil production by the sebaceous glands.
Third, don't overexfoliate your skin. When you do aggressive scrubbing, your skin gets dry and inflamed. This causes your oil glands to secrete more protective substances while your pores get clogged with inflammatory byproducts.
Next, use a retinol-based product every night. Retinol is derived by vitamin A and works by gently exfoliating the skin from within. This reduces oil secretion and also unblocks those pores, making them appear smaller and clearer.
Also, don't pop your pimples. When you try to extract your pimples yourself, you damage the pore, making it unable to go to its original size. Get it extracted by a certified dermatologist who will do the procedure in sterile conditions, ensuring your pores remain unharmed.
Finally, wear sunscreen. It will help protect your skin from the collagen degradation caused by UVA rays, ultimately keeping your skin fresh and clear for the years to come.
What are the latest advancements in pore reduction technology?

Now, there are a multitude of options to make your pores smaller. For example, AFT Technology is a light-based device that focuses on rejuvenation. Natural light penetrates deep in the skin to stimulate new skin and collagen formation, ultimately making your skin look brighter, clearer and fresher, almost instantly! And, it has minimal to no side-effects with a zero downtime.

Next, there is Clearlift which has been US FDA proven to penetrate deep into the dermis to cause collagen stimulation. This collagen will then make the skin more elastic, making it appear younger and pore-free. It also works to improve pigmentation making it an all-inclusive therap. And, it has zero recovery time so in 20 minutes, you walk out looking like a brighter version of yourself.

Finally, you can try resurfacing which will use Pixel Perfect Technology to essentially force the skin to self-exfoliate, making new skin form within seven days. However, this has a downtime of nearly a week.

The last word…

Go to your dermatologist to get your prescription for treating your pores. You can treat this at any age, and now with all the latest technology available, you too can get the skin you want.

Hearing loss or deafness: 7 facts you ought to know

Hearing loss or deafness: 7 facts you ought to know

by Editorial Team

Did you know that there are 360 million people in the world who suffer from disabling hearing loss? That is 5.3% of the world's population, out of which 32 million are children. Read on to find more such facts:

Chronic ear infections are a leading cause of hearing loss: The global prevalence of chronic otitis media (COM) ranges from 1 to 46% in developed and developing countries. COM leads to hearing loss and can cause life-threatening complications and mortality. The most astonishing thing is that COM is largely preventable. It can be managed effectively through medical and surgical means.

Noise is a major cause of hearing loss, it is also a very easily avoidable: Noise is a cause for concern in both, developed and developing countries. In many countries, excessive noise has become the most compensated occupational hazard. The risk of social noise, such as, music and entertainment devices, is increasing globally among young people.

 Hearing loss can be due to the use of ototoxic medications: Some commonly used medications (such as aminoglycosides, anti-malarial drugs) can lead to irreversible hearing loss. Ototoxicity can be prevented through awareness amongst health-care providers and rational use of drugs.

Many children are born with hearing defects: Approximately 0.5-5 of every 1000 infants are born with or develop in early childhood disabling hearing loss. Early detection and management is important in providing appropriate support for deaf and hearing-impaired babies that will help them enjoy equal opportunities in society.

Nearly one out of every three persons over 65 are affected by hearing loss: Left untreated hearing loss affects communication and can contribute to social isolation, anxiety, depression and cognitive decline. Age-related hearing loss can be managed effectively through a variety of means, including hearing aids.

About 20% of people with hearing loss need hearing aids live in developing countries: This suggests that there are an estimated 56 million hearing aid users worldwide. It is estimated that current hearing aid production meets only 3% of the need in developing countries.

Sign language is a useful tool to have: Deaf and deaf-blind persons often use sign language. Sign languages differ across cultures, but they are legitimate languages, with their own vocabulary and grammar. Family members, medical professionals, teachers and employers should be encouraged to learn signs/sign language in order to facilitate communication with deaf people.

Give your leftover food a makeover!

Give your leftover food a makeover!

by Agencies

Ghungroos and rhythmic foot-tapping are heard across the lobby outside Seema Mehta's Napean Sea road flat overlooking Priyadarshini Park. When the kathak dancer and daughter of one of the top jeweller families in the country opens the door, inviting flavours from the kitchen vie for attention with the sea-breeze and views of the sea-face from every window of the 13th storey home.

'I was just practising some tatkars till the quinoa cooks,' she says pointing to the pan on the gas stove. 'Nothing makes me happier than dancing, and the 15-minute wait for the quinoa to cook provides an opportunity for some exercise too.'

It is perhaps this out-of-the-box thinking that's made her think of using leftovers to rustle up a brunch for friends. 'We had dry moong dal sabzi day before and cow peas (chowli) in curry yesterday. Its far too much to just throw away and pulses are full of nutrition,' observes this cooking enthusiast who quickly adds, 'Besides since they are cooked and seasoned it means, today's new recipes will take that much lesser time.'

While the cow peas have been rinsed to remove gravy traces, the asafoetida and coriander flavours linger. 'I like to see what I'm making not as recycling but entirely new recipes. The flavours trapped in the cooked cowpeas will give the salads I'm making, a different twist,' insists Mehta. She divides the bowl of rinsed cow-peas into two portions. One of these is tossed with chopped and peeled apples and chat masala to create a salad with a distinct Indian taste. The other portion is tossed with quinoa, chopped tomatoes, parsley and a vinaigrette created with extra virgin olive oil and lime extract with salt and pepper to give it a more continental feel.

As for the moong, crushed slightly, it becomes stuffing for parathas which are being served as the main course with curd.

'In India we have always been told to see food as Goddess Annapurna's blessing which cannot be thrown. Not many want to follow this value seen as a vestige of hard times in the past,' she observes.

Since nothing about the tony location of the sprawling South Mumbai flat or its plush interiors indicates anything amiss, we voice our concern only to hear Mehta laugh. 'I know markets have tanked and the rupee's taking a big beating but what I'm doing has nothing to do with that.' On a sombre note the dancer who is also a qualified jewellery designer adds, 'Fortunes are being lost in the stock market blood-baths, living a bit prudently won't harm anyone,' and chortles, 'Definitely not, when it smells so heavenly.' (Read: 5 healthy recipes your kids will love!)

Mehta isn't alone. As inflation rises and home budgets tighten, even the well-heeled are thinking of ways to recycle food and avoid wastage. Sambar with water melon rind, pulavs with last night's sabzis and cutlets from left-over fish are making a comeback with vehemence.

Nearly 12 kms away, Chef Deepa Awchat who runs the Diva Maharashtracha, Goa Portuguesea and Culture Curry restaurants pulls out a large degh half-filled with leftover mutton curry. 'I'd made this yesterday and my family praised it to the skies. Yet today if I serve them the same, they'll fuss and make faces about eating the same thing,' she says while separating the meat from the gravy.

She beats an egg and adds it to the gravy which is then set on heat. While it begins to simmer, she adds a few chopped boiled eggs to the pot, puts off the flame but leaves it on the gas stove. Like Mehta, Awchat too says the approach should be like it is a new dish. 'Surprise always works. While the aroma and flavour suggest mutton curry, egg blends in to change the whole taste,' she says and adds, 'Using the right kind of bowls, plates and cutlery depending on the way one has tweaked the dish only enhances the experience.'

While she's serving an early dinner soon afterwards, she advises keeping everything mis en place. 'Boiling the curry last minute and pouring it over chopped boiled eggs gives it a different twang.'

The de-boned mutton is stuffed into boiled and mashed potato and pan-fried creating a completely different dish. 'This can be done with any left over sabzi too and can actually be made and kept in the fridge. These can be pan-fried just before serving,' says the chef who has another surprise element planned. Left-over cashew-green peas sabzi is stuffed into rice flour modaks which go into the steamer.

While they steam, she sits down over a cup of tea and makes it look effortless. When asked whether she uses any of this in her fine dining restaurants, she shakes her head. 'Since we serve everything la carte it is impossible,' she says but admits such recycling is not uncommon in places which serve buffets.

'If you love your food, you will find ways of doing interesting things with it. While coconut milk for non-vegetarian and cream or cashew paste for vegetarian dishes would help turn over Indian recipes, with western ones its amazing what a little butter or cheese can do. After all seeing someone relish what they are otherwise not eager about has its own kick.' (Read: Tasty recipes to keep BP under control)
