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 energy, protein, iron, calcium, magnesium and vitamins C, B6, B12, thiamin, riboflavin and niacin. More specifically, WIC enrollment has been found to increase birthweight from 51 to 117 grams (gms), reduce rates of low and very low birthweight (infant birthweight less than 2,500 gms and 1,500 gms, respectively), and reduce the rate of preterm birth (birth before 36 weeks gestation) (U.S. Department of Agriculture, 2013). 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 today's woman's nutritional health. Information continues with a discussion of dietary factors that can affect fertility. A framework for preconceptional 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 theoretical information is presented in the form of a prenatal meal plan. Guidance is given 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 benefits of breastfeeding for mother and infant. 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. 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 to life situations and is included after the final chapter.
This CPE program is a Level 2 Continuing Professional Education (CPE) program approved for 15 CPE units (CPEUs). Level 2 means that you have general knowledge of the literature and professional practice in the areas covered. The focus of the program is to enhance knowledge and application.
