It’s possible to exercise safely during pregnancy
Pregnant women have mixed views
on staying in shape. Some mothers-tobe view pregnancy as a chance to cast
aside concerns about body image and
enjoy the freedom to eat a little more
and revel in the changes their body
undergoes during pregnancy. Other
women want to remain physically fit
and return to their pre-baby weight as
soon as possible. Regardless of the camp
you fall into, it’s important to know that
exercising during pregnancy is a safe
option for many women, provided it is
endorsed by a doctor.
As long as women keep the health of
their babies in mind and consult their
physicians, staying fit throughout a pregnancy is a very real possibility. According to the BabyCenter Medical Advisory
Board and the Institute of Medicine,
depending on starting weight, women
can expect an average weight gain of 15
to 40 pounds during pregnancy. Women
who will be having multiples will likely
gain more weight than those who are
not. Exercise and healthy eating can
keep both mom and baby healthy.
The Mayo Clinic advises that pregnancy can be a great time to get active.
Although it can be tempting to sit back
and relax for nine months, it actually
may be better for all involved to remain
physically active rather than sedentary.
Exercise can ease back pain and other
aches, and it can prevent excess weight
gain that may contribute to an overly
large baby, which can make labor and
delivery more difficult. Exercise during pregnancy can reduce the risk of
gestational diabetes, pregnancy-related
high blood pressure, and even postpartum depression. Additionally, physical
activity during pregnancy can help with
stamina and muscle strength, which will
be essential during the delivery process.
The American Pregnancy Association
says that exercise does not increase the
risk for miscarriage in healthy women
with a normal, low-risk pregnancy.
Many women who have been following

regular exercise regimens prior to their
pregnancies can usually maintain some
level of physical activity throughout the
pregnancy. BabyCenter Canada says
that walking, swimming, cycling, yoga,
Pilates, and even jogging can be safe and
ideal exercises provided a woman does
not go overboard. Sports or activities
where a person might have a hard fall or
be thrown off balance are not advised.
These include horseback riding, gymnastics and bicycling. Sports where you can
be hit in the stomach, such as tennis, are
potentially unsafe and should be avoided.
Most experts advise pregnant women
capable of exercise to aim for 30 minutes
of moderate exercise at least three times
per week. A more rigorous workout
schedule may lead to a low-weight baby
or could put excess strain on pelvic floor
muscles that may lead to early labor.
When pregnant women are exercising,
here are some additional guidelines.
* Avoid exercise in extremely
hot or cold weather.
* Wear comfortable footwear
that supports the ankles
and arches of the feet.
* Take frequent breaks.
* Drink plenty of water.
* Begin slowly and gradually
build stamina.
* Listen to your body and do not push
yourself if you are tired or in pain.
* Avoid exercise that involves lying
flat on the back during the second
and third trimesters, as this
decreases blood flow to the uterus.
* Always keep your doctor abreast of
your exercise schedule and consult
with him or her if you plan to include
any new activities in your regimen.
Exercising during pregnancy is
possible and a good way to maintain
peak physical health to prepare for
the arrival of a baby.

If not vaccines, what causes autism?
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention states that autism spectrum
disorder is the fastest-growing developmental disability, affecting about 1 percent of the world’s population, including
3.5 million Americans.
The National Epidemiologic Database
for the Study of Autism in Canada,
which has been monitoring the prevalence of ASD in various areas of Canada
since 2003, says one in every 94 children
in Canada is autistic.
The prevalence of autism and the
mystery behind it has left families, doctors and researchers perplexed as they
continue to look for possible causes for
of the condition.
Autism spectrum disorder is a neurodevelopmental condition that involves
deficits in social communication and
interactions across multiple settings and
situations. Some people with autism
may have trouble communicating, while
others may recede from social situations. Other signs can include repetitive behaviors or extreme focus in one
concentration of activity. ASD develops
— and presents symptoms — differently
from person to person.
There is no single cause of ASD, but
medical professionals generally accept
that it is linked to abnormalities in the
brain structure and its function. The
Autism Society indicates that scans
of brains in children with autism are
different in shape and structure than
brain scans of children who do not
have the disorder.
Vaccines are not linked to autism,
despite misinformation that has spread
in recent years. That potential link
between vaccines and autism was discredited as far back as 1998.
“Over the last two decades, extensive
research has asked whether there is any
link between childhood vaccinations and
autism,” said Rob Ring, the chief science
officer at Autism Speaks. “The results of
this research are clear: Vaccines do not
cause autism. We urge that all children
be fully vaccinated.”
Researchers at the Southwest Autism
Research and Resource Center have
found autism likely starts well before the
emergence of any noticeable symptoms,
and the following factors may play a role
in the development of ASD.
• Pesticides: Some studies have found
that pesticides may interfere with genes
involved in the central nervous system,
according to experts at Baylor College
of Medicine in Houston, TX. These
chemicals may adversely affect people
predisposed to autism. According to a
study published in June 2014 in Environmental Health Perspectives, a research
team from the University of California,
Davis, tracked 1,043 families in California, where there’s a $38 billion agricultural industry. One-third of the pregnant
mothers in the study lived within a mile
of farms that used pesticides linked to
She lby Coun t y
LIBRARIES
impaired development. Proximity to pesticides was associated with a 60 percent
increased risk for ASD.
• Genetic vulnerability: The Autism
Society states ASD tends to occur more
frequently among individuals with certain medical conditions, including fragile
X syndrome, tuberous sclerosis, congenital rubella syndrome and untreated
phenylketonuria, or PKU. Ingesting
harmful substances during pregnancy

also has been linked to increased risk of
autism for the child. The National Institutes of Health found families with one
child who has autism have about a one
in 20 chance of having a second child
with the disorder.
• Pharmaceuticals: Babies who have
been exposed to certain pharmaceuticals
in the womb, including valproic acid,
which is used for seizures and mood
disorders, and thalidomide, have been
found to have a high risk of autism
for the child. Thalidomide was once
used for morning sickness and anxiety, and it can still be prescribed as a
treatment for cancer.
• Parental age: According to UC Davis
Health System researchers, autism risk
increases with parental age. Conception by older parents (age 40-plus) may
increase the chances for ASD compared
to pregnancies for those in their 20s.
ASD continues to affect millions of
people across the globe. Understanding
potential risk factors may help individuals make smarter choices as they consider expanding their families.

Juggling a career and new motherhood
The role women play in society
and within their own households has
changed dramatically over the last halfcentury. According to Pew Research
Center analysis of the Decennial Census
and American Community Surveys
Integrated Public Use Microdata Sample
files, in 1960 just 10.8 percent of married mothers were the primary earners in
households that included children under
the age of 18. That figure rose steadily
over the next 50 years, reaching 40.4
percent by 2011. Though the steady rise
in those percentages makes the 2011 figure less than surprising, the fact remains
that today’s working mothers have more
on their plate than ever before and are
under more pressure to juggle those
responsibilities than their predecessors.
Juggling a career and motherhood is
difficult for any woman, but the transition to wearing two hats can prove an
especially difficult adjustment for new
mothers. The following are a handful of
tips for new mothers about to embark
on the challenging task of juggling a
career and a growing family.
* Carefully consider career decisions.
Some new mothers respond to motherhood by making changes with regard
to their careers. While adjustments will
almost certainly need to be made, it’s
important that women avoid knee-jerk
reactions. Some women feel guilty about
not spending enough time with their
children and ultimately allow that guilt
to govern their decisions about their
careers. But women who don’t give ample
consideration to such decisions may grow
to regret them when they find they miss
their old jobs and the responsibilities and
sense of purpose that comes with those
jobs. When making career decisions as
new motherhood is approaching or after
it arrives, make a list of the pros and cons
to each decision and the motives behind
each decision you might make. The more
thoughtfully you approach each decision,
the happier you’re likely to be with that
decision once it’s been made.
* Avoid going overboard at the office.
Working mothers are often driven to
show their employers that new motherhood will not affect their on-the-job
performance. In their haste to prove
motherhood won’t prove a distraction,
new mothers may take on more they
can chew. Recognize that being a working mother does require an adjustment
period, especially in the immediate
weeks and months after maternity leave
has ended and your body has yet to
adjust to its new schedule. Accept help
when it’s offered and recognize that good
employers understand the adjustments
you will need to make in the immediate
aftermath of a pregnancy.
* Look for ways to reduce your workload at home. Juggling a career and new
motherhood won’t just have an impact
at the office. Part of making a successful transition from working professional
to working mother is recognizing that
adjustments need to be made at home as
well. Both new parents are in the same
boat, but mothers are the ones who
spend the first three months at home
with their new child, and during those
three months new mothers typically
develop a certain rapport with their new
babies that new fathers do not. Babies
may prove more comfortable being fed
or rocked to sleep by mom instead of
dad. In such instances, look for ways to
reduce your workload at home, whether
that’s sharing cooking duties or other
chores around the house that were once
your responsibility alone.
