Reasons to Delay of Baby's First Bath - Gynecologist in Noida

Babies are born with a natural skin protectant

In utero, babies are protected from their watery environment by a special substance called vernix, found on their skin. You may notice some vernix on your just born baby, it looks a bit like a white, waxy cream cheese, and some babies seem to have a lot and others not so much. Babies tend to lose the vernix the longer the mother is pregnant, so those babies born at 42 weeks might not have a lot of it visible anymore, though usually there is still some hidden in the folds of their skin and under their arms. Babies born earlier often have a larger amount. Newer research indicates that vernix has immune properties and leaving it on your baby's skin provides a layer of protection while your new baby's immune system is getting stronger. I think this is a great benefit especially for babies who are born in the hospital, with lots of potential for exposure to hospital-acquired infections. Vernix also is the best moisturizer ever and helps to keep your baby's skin soft and supple. It's important to note that the research is on the properties of the vernix but as of now there is no clinical data to prove this connection.

Amniotic fluid, which bathed the baby before birth has the ability to provide some extra resistance to infection as well, so the longer it remains on the skin, the better for baby.

Baby wants to be near mom

After birth, your newborn baby wants to be as close to you and your breasts as he can get. Snuggling on your chest, close to the food source, where he can hear you, smell you and feel you against his skin is a source of comfort for your new little one. Being close to your breasts can help encourage breastfeeding and support the baby making a smooth transition to life on the outside. Taking your baby away from you soon after birth for the purpose of a bath can disrupt the process of your baby getting to know you, feeling safe and secure, and interfere with those very important first feedings.

Lowered body temperature

New babies are still figuring out how to maintain their own body temperature. Taking a baby away from his mother for a bath, may result in the baby working harder to keep their body temperature in the normal range. I have seen babies who need to be placed under the heat lamp to bring up their temperature after their bath. Mom's chest is the perfect place to maintain baby's temperature. A mother's chest has the ability to heat up or cool down to help the baby stay at just the right temperature. Adding a bath into the mix just makes it harder for baby to maintain their body temperature.

Keep stress hormones low and blood sugar normal
Being separated from her mother can add an additional layer of stress to a new baby just figuring out life on the outside. When your baby is taken from you to be bathed, she may cry, feel uncomfortable and upset. This causes her body to release stress hormones in response to this new situation. Her heart rate and blood pressure may go up, she may breathe a bit faster and become agitated. Working hard to respond to this stressful situation may also lower her blood sugar temporarily. If your baby's blood sugar is being monitored due to mother's gestational diabetes, or her size at birth, the baby's health care providers may be concerned and want to introduce formula to bring her blood sugar back up to the normal range. When she remains closes to you, she is better able to regulate all of her body systems and maintain her blood sugar where it should be.

A bath with mom or dad sounds nice
Since your baby feels most secure when she is close to a parent, you might consider taking the first bath with your baby, when you are ready. Getting in the tub with your baby and holding her in your arms is a wonderful way to have that first bath. Your baby will feel secure and loved, when she does not have to be separated from you in the first days. She will enjoy the soothing water while being held, happily splashing and giving little kicks. It might feel so good that she may even fall asleep! Remember, little babies are very slippery when wet, so you will need someone to hold the baby while you get in and out of the tub. It creates special memories to take that first bath with your baby, rather than having staff do it, shortly after birth, when mom is still recovering herself and not really able to engage in the process.

Handle with gloves

In many hospitals, it is policy for staff to handle all unbathed babies with gloves on their hands, so as to protect staff from coming into contact with any amniotic fluid, blood, or vernix that remain on your newborn. Considering that the transmission of hospital-acquired infections is on the rise, some consider it good practice to have all hospital staff wear gloves when handling a newborn baby, even if a bath has already occurred. Some studies show glove use in very low birth weight babies have fewer infections when staff handle the baby with gloves on, despite the bath status.

How to Gain Weight in Pregnancy - Gynecologist in Noida

There is so much focus on ensuring that you don't gain too much weight in pregnancy. But the truth is that there are some women who actually need to gain more weight than they have been gaining. Here are some tips to gain weight while you are pregnant:

Eat more frequently.
Sometimes you don't gain weight in pregnancy because your stomach is so squished that you can't add extra calories to your meals. By eating smaller, but more frequent meals, you have the ability to add extra calories throughout the day. This can also help with some pregnancy complaints like nausea and heartburn.

Carry food with you.
To help you snack throughout the day, I think it's important to carry some food with you. Carry easy foods - no preparation required. I like to carry nuts, like almonds. Sometimes I add dried fruit like a trail mix. If you have a place to keep food cold, I would suggest that you try cheese with fruit. I love cheddar on apples or pears. And fresh fruit is always handy. Pop a banana or orange in your purse and you're ready to roll.

Drink your calories.
Try drinking some of your calories. It may be easier for you to take a smoothie with you and sip it throughout the day. You can even add protein powder to your shakes for a bit of a caloric punch. It doesn't really taste any different, but it can add calories from protein.

Eat snacks that pack a punch.
When you're snacking try to make your calories count. A hard boiled egg, yogurt or a wedge of cheese can be nutrient dense and good for you. They don't cause you to stuff a lot of food into your stomach, however.

Add supplements if needed.
Protein powders added to foods for extra calories. They can also be added to shakes. If powdered supplements aren't your thing, then you can also do bars. When I was pregnant with the twins I ate Tiger's Milk Bars and Luna Bars. There are also a whole slew of bars designed

Genetic Counseling in Pregnancy - Gynecologist in Noida

There are many different reasons to have genetic counseling done, as well as different ways to have genetic testing done. I am going to deal mainly with genetic testing as it relates to pregnancy.
First a quick look at genetics...

Every human being has genes, these tiny little switches that determine hair color, eye color, and other traits are packed into 46 chromosomes inside our cells. The human sperm and egg cells are different from other cells in that each only has 23 unmatched chromosomes inside. When pregnancy begins and the egg and sperm are joined you start with a brand new cell, with 46 chromosomes.

Dominant Disorders

Each gene's instructions are either dominant or recessive. Examples of dominant disorders would be: high cholesterol, Huntington disease, extra fingers or toes, glaucoma, etc. Problems caused by dominant disorders can be either nonexistent or quite severe. If a parent has a dominant gene for a certain condition there is a 50% chance that each child would have the disorder.

Recessive Disorders

If only one parent has a recessive disorder gene, then the dominant gene from the other parent will prevent the disorder. If both parents were carriers of a recessive gene then there would be a one in four chance that each child would inherit the disorder. Examples of recessive disorders: sickle cell anemia, Tay-Sachs, phenylketonuria (PKU). Recessively inherited disorders are often more serious.

There are other types of disorders, such as X-linked disorders, and carriers.
Types of Testing

Screening Tests

Maternal Serum Alpha-fetoprotein (MSAFP) - This is a blood test done between 15 - 17 weeks of pregnancy. There is no risk to the baby during this screening. The mother's blood is screened for one or more substances (alpha-fetoprotein, hCG, estriadol). Higher than normal levels may indicate a neural tube defect, while lower values may indicate certain chromosomal disorders, usually Down Syndrome. The problems with this screening are that there are many false positives. This can cause more invasive testing, worry, etc. When the reason may simply be that you are further along than anticipated, you might be having twins. However, a normal test should help relieve anxiety.

Ultrasound - This screening can show if the baby has defects such as kidney problems, heart defects, and limb defects. This procedure does not detect all defects and has not been shown to be helpful in determining Down Syndrome in a fetus. A good ultrasound does not indicate that you will not have a baby with a defect, just decreases the likelihood.

MaterniT21PLUS - This test is run on maternal blood and can look for the most common of genetic disorders, including Down Syndrome. It can be done as early as 10 weeks into pregnancy and does not pose a risk of harm to the baby or pregnancy. It will also tell you if you are having a girl or boy.

Diagnostic Testing

Amniocentesis - This test will screen for all known chromosomal defects by sampling fetal cells in the amniotic fluid. It is done with the placement of a needle, guided by ultrasound, into the uterus to collect the fluid. It is usually done between 15 and 18 weeks of gestation, although some practitioners are doing early amniocentesis as early as 9 weeks. It normally takes two weeks to receive the results. The results can be very accurate, however, they cannot tell you the severity of a present defect. There is also risk to the baby from this procedure. About 1 in 200 women will miscarry after the amniocentesis, even if the baby was unaffected, and about 1 in 1,000 will experience infection. (See more about amniocentesis.)

Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS) - CVS can be done earlier in pregnancy, some centers are doing it as early as 8 weeks, while most are doing them around 10 weeks gestation. A small tube can be placed through the vagina, or it can be done abdominally and a tiny tissue sample is taken from the outside of the sac that contains your baby. CVS results can be done as soon as ten days. This is less accurate than amniocentesis and the rates of complications are higher. Miscarriage is 1 in 100 or 200, small risk of missing digits (fingers and toes) for 1 in 2,000 or 3,000 of babies. These risks are higher the earlier the CVS is done. (See more about CVS.)

Pregnancy Brain – Fact or Fiction? - Gynecologist in Noida

It’s not just your imagination, pregnancy brain exists. Whether it’s walking into a room and forgetting why you’re there, taking twice as long to complete an email than usual, or stumbling over how to spell your son’s name, you simply just don’t feel like yourself.

A number of studies have been completed by both psychologists and neuroscientists to try to get to the bottom of pregnancy brain. Unfortunately, no clear picture has been established as to WHY women feel so foggy, only that they do. Some hypotheses include hormones, sleep deprivation, and the fact that pregnant minds and body are doing double or triple duty as the baby grows. Some studies have shown that the changes and symptoms women have correlate to the sex of the baby and last for the duration that the mother breastfeeds. There’s a lot of fascinating research on-going, but the bottom line is that you need to survive until you can think like normal again!

The good news is that the feeling and realities of pregnancy brain are temporary. Most women feel mostly back to normal once their babies are on some sort of schedule. Coincidence? I think not! Maybe there is something to that sleep deprivation theory….

There are a few great ways to survive through your “momnesia” that will help you cut down on the time you have to search for your cell phone or keys. Here’s what we came up with:

1. Have a routine. This will help you know what and where to be.
2. Write everything down! Google Calendar, Evernote, and other apps are great for this. Or just a plain old pen and paper.
3. Have a place for everything. Keys on the hook, purse in the closet, etc. Less time looking if everything is in the right place!
4. Eat good food. You’re going to feel worse if your brain has junk fuel.
5. Give yourself a break! Making a baby is hard work. Give yourself a Mulligan and take a nap. You earned it!
