(I'hoto h\ Jim Hlaek Photographers) How To Feel Good During Pregnancy - .Some women experience gastrointestinal problems during pregnancy. Others never do. But there are ways to relieve the nausea, consti pation and heartburn you may feel, says Sarah M. Hinton, extension foods and nutrition specialist at North Carolina State Uni versity. "The reasons for nausea and vomiting in early preg nancy are not known,” she explains. It usually disap pears after the third month. Women whqfeel nauseat ed should eat a few crackers, some dry cereal, or toast before even getting out of bed. They should get up slowly. ‘tat five or six small meals a day,” Mrs. Hinton advises. "Never go for long periods without food." Drink fluids between, rather than with meals. And drink apply juice, grape juice and carbonated beverages when nau seated. Avoid greasy or highly seasoned foods, Mrs. Hin ton says. And be sure to have fresh air in rooms where you sleep or cook. Exercise, fiber and li quids help prevent consti pation, the specialist says. If it occurs, eat more raw fruits and vegetables, dried fruits, stewed prunes and apricots and prune juice. Use whole grain cereals and breads, when con stipated. Mrs. Hinton says. And drink more liquids, including a glass of warm water when you get up “If constipation contin ues talk to your doctor," Mrs. Hinton advises. Do not take any over-the counter drugs or home re medies. Heartburn may be a pro blem in the last months of' pregnancy. "As your baby grows^ there is increased pressure on your stcT-~ mach." Mrs. Hinton ex plains. . To reduce heartburn, eat five to six small meals a day; limit fatty, fried and spicy foods and wear clothes that are loose around the waist. "Again." Mrs. Hinton warns, "never take a medi cation before talking to your doctor." - -- ftidge Oub Names Johnson A Charlottean and former eight-year treasur er for the American Bridge Association has been elect ed president-elect to that organization.

"We have seen a drama tic improvement in the numbers of women w ho are seeking prenatal care In 1077. 7:i.lo percent of preg nant women sought prena tal care, in 1980-81. 70.6 percent had the care they needed. More medically in digent women are now provided delivery services. In 1977. delivery services w erc~pnn*tded-ltt_Ui58jAo men while in 1981. 2.70f> women were provided this service. More patients are also now being served through our high risk peri natal clinics. In 1977-78 there were only 624 pa tienls served in these clinics, in 1980-81 there were 2.127 women served. "In addition, our two year-ora High risk infant jden^jc^Uon^creenmg^ and trucking program m which 95 percent ol all newborn records are now being reviewed lor risk lactors in alerting parents to potential health pro blems w ith their newborns, through this program, more children are getting specialized health care as soon us problems are de tected. As a result ol this program, in 1980-81 parents and physicians gave per mission lor health tracking ol K.403 inlants so that they could be assured that an> health problems would be detected as soon as possible. llu* combination ol llicsc programs along with Governor Hunt's increased emphasis on assuring that adequate medical man power is available in all too counties through the rural health services program has provided a broad range ol medical services that is helping to assure that children born in North Carolina are born heal thy. says Dr Sarah Mor row. rile reduction ol mlant mortality in North Caro lina is one ol the lop goals ol the Hunt administration Reminder About False Forms t >ne ol the many schemes used by illegal tax pro testors to avoid paying Federal income taxes is the tiling ol a lalse \V -I Form.

Child Safety Restraints It s your child's life...but it's YOUR DECISION. At least 80 out of every loo children who die in automobile crashes could survive if their parents would make the effort to secure them in crash-test ed safety seats Dike most parents, vou recognize everyday threats to your baby's life \nu' protect your child from sharp objects and^poisons around the horpd'' and im munize him her against childhood diseases How ever, do you realize that more North Carolina child ren are killed in motor vehicle accidents than In am other single cause? lii tact, your children are much more likely to die Irom auto accidents than Irom childhood diseases, such as rubella, diphtheria, polio, measles, and whoop ing cough Yet 95 out ol' every too young North Carolina children who are m car crashes have not t»cen buckled up by then parents I ii a crash or sudden stop, only the car slops sudden ly The occupants within the car continue moving -tHH+l—something stops them Restrained occu pants are safely stopped by belts, but u11 restrainedhc cupants'are thrown against the windshield ,.-<ir dash board. or everf out of the car ( hildren are not minia ture adults Their minds are dif ferent . They cannot make their own safety decisions. Their bodies are dif ferent. They need their own spe cial restraint systems. I he most ellective way to safely secure a child in a car is to have him-her ride in a crash-tested infant carrier or safety seat The seat belts that come in cars should be used rather than no protection at all Because children aren't old enough to make their own safety decisions, the only people who can decide to protect them are parents and other adults.
