I can honestly tell you that nutrition counseling wasn't something stress in my residency program. Thanks, Glen //SIGNED// D.

We spend a lot of time educating moms about how they can modify their diets (sometimes it means learning how to cook). Among the 19 sets of twins whose births we've assisted, there was only one premature birth and that was to a DES daughter. One set, each weighing 5.5 pounds each, came at 37 weeks. All the rest came at 39-40 weeks. I suspect that good nutrition had a lot to do with this. Ina May On Jan 29, 2007, at 5:51 PM, Ina May Gaskin wrote: Agree with Barb.

Extra protein, extra calcium, loads 'o folate and not a lot of extra calories! We cover this at the first prenatal and then as needed depending on weight gain. - Barb Nicol, M.D. -----Original Message----- From: ljmidwife@aim.com Sent: Jan 29, 2007 7:29 PM To: Multiple recipients of list OB-GYN-L Subject: Re: OB: Preterm labor In all of the discussion of the management of PTL I have not seen a mention of maternal nutrition. What do you consider an adequate intake of protein and calories for a pregnant woman? Do you discuss her nutritional intake at any of the visits?

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
