FOLIC ACID AND PREGNANCY

Folic acid or vitamin B9 is necessary for the proper functioning of many enzymes and cell division. Its intake is important to everyone, and the need for it is doubled in pregnancy.

WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT?

Folic acid is needed by both the baby and the mother. It protects the fetus from neural tube defects such as spina bifida and anencephaly. Its use is associated with a reduced risk of premature birth and other birth defects. Folic acid stimulates the formation of erythrocytes in the mother, thus preventing anemia.

WHEN SHOULD YOU TAKE IT?

It takes some time to reach the optimal levels of folic acid in the body. If you are planning to get pregnant, you should start taking it 2-3 months before conception.

About 80% of pregnancies around the world are unplanned. Women find out that they are pregnant around the sixth gestational week when the fetal nervous system has begun its development. For this reason, experts advise that women of reproductive age should take a dietary supplement with folic acid. In the US, they deal with the problem by fortifying pastries with it.

HOW SHOULD YOU TAKE IT?

Some people carry a genetic mutation that makes metabolizing folic acid more difficult. The likelihood that you have this mutation should not scare you. All you have to do is choose supplements containing L-methylfolate.

Last but not least, the dose is important. Pregnant women need about 500 micrograms of folic acid daily, and may continue to take it during lactation. Many foods (spinach, nuts, beans, etc.) are rich in folic acid. Unfortunately, the amount needed is difficult to obtain through food, so choosing the right prenatal vitamins is essential.

INDICATIONS FOR CESAREAN SECTION

Modern medicines development has made cesareans a routine procedure. There are numerous indications for this kind of surgery and for many women it is the only way to give birth safely.

WHEN IS A CESAREAN SECTION PERFORMED?

Some women suffer from conditions that can render a normal delivery dangerous. These include eclampsia that doesn’t respond to medication or heart failure. Insulin treatment for diabetes can make the baby overweight and a vaginal delivery impossible. If you have myopia over 3 diopters there’s a risk that pushing can cause retinal detachment.

Anomalies of the placenta (placenta praevia, accreta or an abrubtion) or birth canal issues are indications for a c -section as well.

When the baby is in an oblique or transverse position or the umbilical cord has prolapsed into the vagina, a c-section should be performed. If the baby is breech, natural delivery can be attempted. If you’re pregnant with twins and the first twin isn’t breech you can try giving birth vaginally.

EMERGENCY CESAREAN SECTION

Deliveries are a very dynamic process and changes can occur at any moment. Sometimes in the course of a natural delivery a c-section might be needed after careful assessment by the medical team. This usually happens due to fetal distress or in cases of a prolonged labor. After your water breaks, the baby is no longer protected by the amniotic sac and the risk of infection increases.

ELECTIVE CESAREAN SECTION

When there are no indications for a c-section, vaginal delivery should be encouraged. Some mothers want a specific birth date for their baby. Such a practice can lead to dangerous consequences for the baby as it might not be ready to be delivered.

If you’re afraid to give birth naturally, please discuss the matter with your OBGYN or even a psychologist. Vaginal deliveries are much easier on the mom in the long run and it is even suggested that they strengthen babies’ immune system. This happens as the baby comes into contact with the vaginal flora.

However, If this is your final decision, it should be respected by your healthcare provider.

A GLASS OF WINE DURING PREGNANCY?

WINE DURING PREGNANCY?

Wine is among the few beverages that are not only delicious but healthy as well. In small amounts it regulates blood pressure, calms you down and acts as an antioxidant. That is why many women wonder if they can indulge in a glass of wine while pregnant.

The well-known ban on alcoholic beverages during the nine months of pregnancy is rather the result of fear of abuse. Your obstetrician-gynecologist cannot be sure you will not drink too much. Their main goal, as well as yours, is for you to give birth to a healthy baby.

Although healthy, wine contains alcohol, which has potential risks. We are not talking about a couple of glasses during the nine months, but about chronic alcoholism. It is assumed that daily intake of alcoholic beverages (mostly hard liquor) increases the risk of birth defects by 40%.

WHY IS ALCOHOL SO DANGEROUS TO THE FETUS?

The liver of the fetus does not produce the enzymes needed to break down alcohol. How much alcohol will reach the baby depends on the function of the mother’s liver.

Along with premature birth, development issues and low birth weight, there is a risk that the baby will suffer from Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. It is characterized by delayed mental and physical development, problems with speech and memory, as well as heart defects.

Especially dangerous are the first 3 months of pregnancy, because at that time the organs of the baby are developing. Nearly 80% of pregnancies in the world are not planned and many women consume alcohol before they know they are pregnant. To prevent complications, do not drink until after the baby is born.

WHAT ARE THE ALTERNATIVES?

In Bulgaria, alcohol is part of almost every event. Whether it is a dinner, a birthday or a wedding – it is highly unlikely to go alcohol free. Fortunately, for all who cannot consume alcohol, there are non-alcoholic alternatives to popular beverages. Along with the popular non-alcoholic beer, non-alcoholic wine is also available. It is not just alcohol-free, it also has 1/3 of the calories of regular wine.

WHAT’S THE DOULA’S ROLE DURING CHILDBIRTH?

Recently giving birth with a doula has become all the rage. It might seem like something new but in fact, doulas have been around for centuries. It’s not a coincidence that many paintings of women giving birth depict a few other women, helping the mother. The word „doula“ comes from Greek and means „a woman who serves“.

The doula is a companion who has undergone the required training. They are not doctors or midwifes and they do not examine the pregnant woman or give her medication. Hiring a doula doesn’t exempt you from going to your OB/GYN appointments.

Doulas can help before, during or after childbirth. When you need them the most, is up to you. You can discuss this with your doula at your first meeting, which is usually around the third trimester.

HOW CAN THE DOULA HELP?

The job of the doula is to prepare future parents for the birth and initial upbringing of the child, as well as to offer emotional support. They are the people you can always look for when you need advice.

As already mentioned, doulas are not medical professionals. They work in collaboration with the medical team. However, each doula is aware of the childbirth process. To facilitate childbirth, they can offer various breathing techniques and non-medication analgesia. These include walks, massages, warm showers or changes in the position of the body.

Doulas are mediators between doctors and women during the delivery. They can explain to the woman the upcoming manipulations so she can make an informed decision. Doulas do not impose their opinion and do not question medical decisions.

DOULAS IN BULGARIA

The association of Bulgarian Doulas has existed for several years now. It consists of about 20 women and one man who are qualified to practice this profession. Unfortunately, they do not have members from Plovdiv, but they will be happy to answer your questions.

Studies have shown that women who give birth with a doula are more relaxed and less likely to suffer complications or need analgesia. Doula-assisted childbirth can definitely be a unique experience, but remember that you should always inform the hospital you’ve chosen beforehand.

SPERM VITALITY TEST

SPERM VITALITY TEST – WHICH PATIENTS COULD BENEFIT FROM IT?

A sperm vitality test shows what percentage of the spermatozoa in the sample are vital (alive). Patients are usually referred for this test after a low percentage of sperm motility is detected on semen analysis. The results of the sperm vitality test give important information to the treating urologist about diagnosing and treating the possible cause of infertility.

The sperm vitality test is also an important tool when a couple with male factor infertility is about to undergo an IVF procedure. The oocytes of these couples are fertilized by IntraCytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI). During ICSI the embryologist selects a single spermatozoa and injects it in one oocyte. As a rule the spermatozoa selected are always with the best available motility and morphology. In cases of very low or no motility, sperm vitality test is used to select viable spermatozoa, since only they can fertilize oocytes.

There are different types of vitality tests. The 2 most commonly used are the Hypo-osmotic Swelling (HOS) test and the Eosin Nigrosin test.

The advantage of the HOS test is that spermatozoa are still alive and can be used for ICSI following the test. During the test spermatozoa are put in hypo-osmotic solution (i.e. in solution with lower concentration of solutes compared to the inside of the spermatozoa). Due to osmosis, water starts coming into the spermatozoa and if their membrane is functional (i.e. if they are alive), their tails start swelling and curling. This process is completely reversible and those spermatozoa can be used for ICSI after they are washed.

The Eosin Nigrosin test also distinguishes between viable and non-viable spermatozoa on the basis of their membrane integrity. Viable sperm do not let the red dye eosin penetrate their membrane and thus remain white, while non-viable sperm turn red. Nigrosin is a dark dye which improves contrast and makes it easier to distinguish viable and non-viable spermatozoa. The Eosin Nigrosin is often preferred for diagnostic purposes, as it is faster than the HOS test. However, sperm cannot be used for ICSI afterwards.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO) the reference value for sperm vitality is 58%. If less than 58% of your spermatozoa/those of your partner are non-viable, it is strongly recommended to consult with a urologist, specializing in fertility issues.
