Doctors Weigh New Studies Urging
More Weight-Gain During Pregnancy
Doctors no longer advise
mothers-to-be to “eat for
two.*’- But . they also are re
examining the more recent
dictum ' that a woman
should keep her weight to
a minimum and not exceed
a gain of 20 pounds during
pregnancy.
Advocates of higher weight
gain point to the Endings of
recent studies, including an
eight-year analysis at The
Johns Hopkins University, to
recommend that the average
gain be revised upwards to be
tween 22 and 30 pounds. In
every case, of course, a wom
an’s pre-pregnancy weight,
age, height and build must
be taken into consideration
and the weight increase based
upon a sound diet.
When the emphasis upon
low weight-gain came about,
there were more potential
■hazards •' in pregnancy ' and
childbirth than there are now
and obesity often contributed
to complications. Today, ob
stetrical medicine has made
significant progress in over
coming many of these prob
lems^ As a result, closer watch
is being directed to the nutri
tion in pregnancy and its ef
fects -Upon the growth and
development of the unborn
child.
No Cause for Alarm
Stricter weight control often
appeals to women who are
extremely conscious of per
sonal appearance and reluctant
to add pounds that they fear
Will be difficult to lose after
the baby is bom. They should
not be unduly alarmed by
'growing medical. interest in
greater weight-gain. Those
who argue against adding only
10 or 15 pounds during preg
nancy insist that it be done
through a sensible eating plan ■
and not just over-indulgence
at the dining room table.
It must be noted, too, that
certain conditions in pregnancy
call for strident weight con
trol. These include toxemia,
certain metabolic disorders, :
cardiac or kidney problems 1
and diabetes. Where these are 1

seek regular medical care.
present, a woman must follow
a doctor’s warnings about
gaining weight to safeguard
her own health and that of
her child. Similarly, if a wom
an’s pre-pregnancy weight
is well above average, such
as 180 pounds, dietary restric
tions are extremely important.
Studies that have given rise
to much of the re-thinking
about nutritional counseling
show that when a low-weight
woman,' 120 pounds or less,
fails to gain more than 11
pounds during pregnancy, she
is more likely to have a baby
with low birth weight, 5%
pounds or under. However,
a small baby is not cause for
concern in every instance. The
average birth weight is 7 to
IVz pounds in our country.
These are some of the rea
sons why the medical profes
sion is taking such sharp in
terest in the field of nutrition.
Scientists are studying the ef
fect, if any, that the daily
nutritional level of the mother
has upon the child, as well as
any possible effect caused by
insufficient or poor nutrition.
Scientists -who challenge the
low-weight-gain school of
thought in a normal, uncom
plicated pregnancy, are of the
opinion that a woman may be
keeping down carbohydrate
and protein levels at the time
her unborn child is most in
need of nutritional support.
March of Dimes Program
The National Foundation
March of Dimes, pledged to
the prevention of birth defects,
is concerned with every aspect
of prenatal care as a safeguard
to mother and child. It has
launched prenatal care public
health education programs and
community services in major
metropolitan centers and rural
areas. The program emphasizes
that every woman consult a
doctor from the time she
suspects she is pregnant. Each
pregnancy is different and re
quires medical supervision.
The best advice an expectant
mother can follow are recom
mendations by her doctor.
Know Where
Your Grocery
Money Goes
Consumers’ buying practices
at the grocery store show whe
ther they are concerned about
saving a few dollars or not, says
Mrs. Ruby Uzzle, extension con
sumer marketing economist,
North Carolina State University.
Here are some shopping pit
falls that show where the extra
“food” money may be going:
Buying services in addition
to the product. If you haven’t
time to “do-it-yourself,” you
buy it already “done.” Usually
cut-up chicken costs more than
whole chicken; sliced cheese is
more expensive than chunk
cheese; prepared sandwich mix
costs more than mixing your
own; ready-made cookie dough
costs more than that made at
home.
Impulse buying. You pick up
extras that may be luxury items
not on your shopping list.
Shopping” daily. This” leads
to buying more expensive small
quantities and often encourages
more> impulse buying.
little or no sales resistance.
If someone hands you a sample
to taste, you feel obligated to
buy.
Name brands versus store
brands. Are you apt to select
a name you recognize even
thought it may cost mow?
Multiple-pricing. Do you go
ead and buy what’s packaged
J or priced as a group or have
you the courage to take just
” you need?
especially to
. Dis
even if
if it was on sale when you
bought it.
Shopping with children. The
younger set can pressure you to
buy items you may not have
planned to select.
Snack foods. These ready-to
eat snacks or extras can help a
food bill mount up rapidly.
Nonfood items. Paper prod
ucts and similar goods account
for almost 20 per cent of the
grocery bill. They should not
be included in “food” costs.
