Abstract
Pregnancy is a brief period of the entire human life. It is an essential and crucial time of human growth and development. Nutrient requirements at this stage are exceptionally required to maintain steady growth of the mother and child before preconception and during conception. However, deficiencies in such nutrients may result in complications to the African mother and also predisposes the foetus/child to potential risk elements like T2D, respiratory disorders amongst other health implications. It would be plausible reproducing healthy offspring and doing so with ease and still retaining vigour at the end of each pregnancy, wouldn’t it? Mothers around the world (especially African mothers) are further enlightened in this study about the dietary necessities during and after child birth (that is at every stage of pregnancy). This study updates women of all works of life, all ages as well as ethnicity, on their weight acquisition or losses, and that of the foetus (their bouncing babies). This study generally compromises the relationship between nutritional diets and their substantial effects on the mother and the foetus, and how this will in turn have benefiting effects on the child’s future healthiness for a very long time. This study addressed some arguments surrounding maternal preconception and dietary nutrients using materials from experimental studies of some hosts of research analysts and scientists. Education is the key to proffering sustainable health for our intending mothers and pregnant mothers. In this study I examined relevant studies and arguments to better buttress the need for this study and found out that indeed nutrients are the key to healthy conception. This study concludes on the note that women should be more concerned about what they eat at all times and especially during pregnancy. Their weight gain is also important as it could be the best way to monitor and control pregnancy complications like the gestational diabetes mellitus which could lead to other disease complications.
Highlights
A mother’s actual health and sometimes sedentary lifestyle she portrays before pregnancy is observable as it directly affects her subsequent pregnancies with possible impact on the health conditions of her children both born and unborn
It is relevantly important to note that Western diets which are high fat diets may result in metabolic syndromes, not excluding obesity, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular diseases
African mothers on the same page still require a considerable high fat diet in order to acquire sufficient supply of nutrients to maintain at least a normal foetal growth rate
Summary
A mother’s actual health and sometimes sedentary lifestyle she portrays before pregnancy is observable as it directly affects her subsequent pregnancies with possible impact on the health conditions of her children both born and unborn. The outstanding increase of overweight and obesity in women in the world especially Africa has redirected partially if not totally some of her health care providers’ focus to providing therapy recommendations regarding the intending mothers’ weight management before and during pregnancy. The general reproductive health of intending mothers is solely reciprocal to their ovarian immune response more or less the deprivation of the latter would directly influence the other. The knot linking oxidative stress patterns to intense reproductive performances reveals that severe oxidative stress highly impairs ovarian development in pigs [5]. The pig which played as a significant model in Che et al study [6] had subtly investigated the relationship between nutrition and ovarian development
