Nutrition through the Life Span
Unit OnePrenatal and
Through the 1st Year (FNL 2, 3, 4)
FNL 1
Standards FCS-FNL-2. Students will discuss the requirements of
maternal and fetal nutrition during pregnancy. FCS-FNL-3. Students will discuss the proper feeding of
newborns by analyzing nutritional requirements and potential deficiencies of mother and child during the first weeks after birth.
FCS-FNL-4. Students will develop and analyze a nutritionally balanced diet for infants from birth through the first year of life.
FCS-FNL-1. Students will design and demonstrate a nutritious diet.
NUTRITION & EXERCISE DURING
PREGNANCY
Preparation for pregnancy
A mother brings to her pregnancy, all of her previous life experiences; diet, food habits, attitudes.
Birth defects occur before the 10th week of pregnancy.
The outcome of her baby’s health depends on mother’s nutritional state.
Prepare body 2 years ahead. If nutrients are lacking the mother suffers first and
then the baby suffers.
Bad diet can cause:
Premature birth Low birth weight Feeble, weak Inability to breast feed Deformed babies complications at birth Depression Babies have fewer brain cells
Weight Gain
25-30 pounds Total (average weight)
Two and five pounds in the first trimester
About one pound per week for the rest of your pregnancy.

swelling (edema), but this symptom is actually caused by the extra amount of blood in your body, not fat.

Facts and Figures
Teenage birth rates are declining in U.S. U.S. rates are highest among developed countries. Nearly 12% of all U.S. births in 2000 were to teens. Florida teen birth rate higher than U.S. average.(53.5 vs. 49.6 births per 1000 15-19 year olds in 1999) Poor and low-income teens have highest birth rates.National Center for Health Statistics, 2001Lenders et al, 2000
Behaviors of Teen Moms
Compared to pregnant adults, pregnant teens are more likely to: Receive late or no prenatal care Use tobacco
National Center for Health Statistics, 2002
Prenatal Care is Important
Best way to have a healthy baby. Manages both preexisting and
pregnancy-related health
conditions. Evaluates risk of poor pregnancy outcome. Health risks to mother and baby increase if late
or no prenatal care.
Alcohol, Tobacco & Other Drugs
Use can lead to low birth weight, premature delivery, growth retardation, learning disorders, birth defects, miscarriage, or infant death.No “safe” level of smoking; even 1-5 cigarettes per
day can have harmful effects.
National Center for Health Statistics, 2002
Risks for Mom
Pregnant teens are at increased risk for health complications such as: Anemia High blood pressure Premature labor
Risks for Baby
Babies born to teens are twice as likely to be premature and of low birth weight.
Increased risk of developmental delays, serious and long-term illnesses, and death.
Infant death rate is three times higher in teen than in adult pregnancies.
Rees, Lederman, Kiely, 1996
Weight Gain Recommendations
Prepregnancy BMI (kg/m2) Weight Gain
Low (<19.8) 28-40 pounds
Normal (19.8-26) 25-35 pounds
High (>26-29) 15-25 pounds
Obese (>29) At least 15 pounds
Teens should strive for weight gain at upper end of ranges to support own and baby’s needs for growth and development.Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences, 1990
Weight Loss During Pregnancy
Teenagers are often worried about weight gain. Pregnancy is not the time for dieting or weight loss,
even for obese females.Dieting deprives the body of important nutrients needed for
growth & development. Focus should be on adapting a healthy lifestyle,
including the right amount of healthful foods.
Pregnant Teens at Nutritional Risk
Mom is still growing and her needs for growth & development are compromised by baby’s needs for growth & development.
Mother and baby compete for nutrients. Pregnant teens often have diets low in iron, zinc,
calcium, folate, magnesium, vitamin D, and vitamin E.
Giddens at al, 2000
Nutrition for Pregnant Teens
Increased energy needs (+300 Kcals) Increased protein needs (+14-16 g)
This amount is usually met by average American diet. Increased need for many vitamins and minerals Focus on nutrient-dense foods
Nutrients of Special Concern
Calcium (1300 mg/day for all girls 9-18) Calcium absorption is increased during pregnancy,
so recommendations are same for pregnant and nonpregnant teens.
Teens often have low calcium intakes. Increased calcium intakes have been associated
with lower rates of pregnancy-induced hypertension and premature delivery.
Ortega et al, 1999; Repke and Villar, 1991
Nutrients of Special Concern
Folate (600 g/day for pregnant teens and adults)
Teens often have low folate intakes. Helps prevent neural tube defects. Good sources include oranges and orange
juice, lentils and dry beans, green leafy vegetables, fortified cereals.
Nutrients of Special Concern
Iron (27 mg/day for pregnant teens and adults) Teens often have low iron intakes. Needs are greatly increased during pregnancy. Most common deficiency in pregnancy. Iron-deficiency anemia is associated with premature
delivery, low birth weight, and increased rates of infant death.
Supplement recommended.
Food and Nutrition Board of the National Academy of Sciences, 2000
Food Guide Pyramid
With the exception of iron and possibly folate, nutrient needs can be met through smart food choices from the FGP.
FGP Recommendations for Pregnant Teens
Food GroupNo. of Servings Daily
Bread, cereal, rice & pasta 9 or more
Vegetable 4 or more
Fruit 3 or more
Milk, yogurt & cheese 4
Meat, poultry, fish, dry beans, eggs & nuts 2-3
Fats, oils & sweets Use sparingly
Food Safety During PregnancyPregnant women are at high risk for
listeriosis, a foodborne illness caused by Listeria monocytogenes.
Listeriosis can have serious effects, including miscarriage.
Food Safety During Pregnancy Toxoplasmosis, caused by the parasite
Toxoplasma gondii, is also a special concern during pregnancy.
Toxoplasmosis can be passed to the fetus and cause blindness and retardation.
In addition to raw meat, Toxoplasma can also be present in soil and cat litter.
Food Safety During PregnancyTo reduce the risk of foodborne illness, pregnant women
should avoid: unpasteurized milk and milk products soft cheeses such as feta, Brie, Camembert, blue-
veined, and Mexican-stylePasteurized processed cheese slices and spreads, cream cheese, and
cottage cheese are OK. cold, ready-to-eat hot dogs & luncheon (deli) meatsThese meats are OK if they are heated until steaming hot.
Food Safety During Pregnancy
More foods to avoid: raw or undercooked meat, poultry, or seafood refrigerated smoked seafood or seafood
spreads, and pateCanned meat and seafood are OK. UNWASHED fruits and vegetables
Additional Precautions Against Toxoplasmosis
Pregnant women should: wear gloves if handling soil have someone else clean cat litter
If that’s not possible, wear gloves and immediately wash hands afterwards.
Clean cat box daily, since infection can only occur a few days after feces is passed.
Breastfeeding
Many benefits for both mom and baby. More teens try breastfeeding after receiving
breastfeeding education. Teens who become pregnant shortly after
first menstruation may have immature mammary glands and/or not enough breast tissue for successful lactation.
Volpe and Bear, 2000
Recommendations for a Healthy Pregnancy
Teens should be encouraged to: seek medical care as soon as pregnancy is suspected avoid the use of tobacco, alcohol, or other drugs follow weight gain recommendations take supplements as prescribed by health care provider follow the Food Guide Pyramid and eat a variety of foods receive breastfeeding education
