You must have heard of how important micronutrients such as folic acid, iron and calcium are during pregnancy, but are you aware of the importance of Choline in pregnancy and breast-feeding? May be not. That's because the significance of this nutrient has been umasked only recently and the benefits are still not well-known to many.Well, to begin with, choline is needed by the body to perform its basic biological functions and works much like folic acid does in our body. It is essential for the normal functioning of cells of the body, liver metabolism and the transportation of nutrients. Choline forms a component of the cell membranes and functions as a vital chemical component of the nerve messaging system.Research has shown that taking choline in the diet lowers the blood homocysteine levels. Lowering homocysteine helps in decreasing the chances of developing cancer. This is also proven by the fact that women who consume higher amounts of dietary choline have a reduced risk of breast cancer.Choline is an important nutrient for an expectant mum as well.

The discovery of herpes does not mean you cannot have a healthy baby with genital herpes infection during pregnancy. The risks and complications vary, and treatment options are available to reduce the changes of passing the infection on to your baby.Sometimes, women can have the herpes virus and not know it until an outbreak, which can happen during the most inconvenient time; during pregnancy. Because the body produces antibodies to fight the virus, women build up their immune system to ward off outbreaks. This does not mean that the virus is not present, but it will provide protection for your unborn child.One way the fetus is protected against the herpes virus is through the antibodies produced by the soon to be mom. The earlier in the pregnancy an outbreak erupts, the more protection the unborn child is given. For instance, if you develop an outbreak in the third trimester, there is more risk of passing the virus on than if you became symptomatic in the first or second trimester.The risk increased as the pregnancy progresses because of the time it takes for the body to produce antibodies. For example, if you are nearing your delivery date, there is less time for...more
