Zinc is important in your Pregnancy
Posted in 2013

Zinc deficiency during pregnancy can negatively affect both the mother and fetus. Animal studies indicate that maternal zinc deficiency can upset both the sequencing and efficiency of the birth process. An increased incidence of difficult and prolonged labor, hemorrhage, uterine Dystocia and placental abruption has been documented in zinc deficient animals.  These effects may be mediated by the defective functioning of estrogen via the estrogen receptor, which contains a zinc finger protein. A review of pregnancy outcomes in women with acrodermatitis enteropathica, reported that out of every seven pregnancies, there was one abortion and two malfunctions, suggesting the human fetus is also susceptible to the teratogenic effects of severe zinc deficiency. However, a review on zinc supplementation trials during pregnancy did not report a significant effect of zinc supplementation on neonatal survival.
Zinc deficiency can interfere with many metabolic processes when it occurs during infancy and childhood, a time of rapid growth and development when nutritional needs are high. Low maternal zinc status has been associated with less attention during the neonatal period and worse motor functioning. In some studies, supplementation has been associated with motor development in very low birth weight infants and more vigorous and functional activity in infants and toddlers

Testosterone production


Zinc is required to produce testosterone. Thus, zinc deficiency can lead to reduced circulating testosterone, Hypogonadism, and delayed puberty

Psychological disorders

Low plasma zinc levels have been alleged to be associated with many psychological disorders. Schizophrenics have been shown to have decreased brain zinc levels[ and supplementation as an adjuvant was shown to improve symptoms in one study.  Evidence suggests that zinc deficiency could play a role in depression.  Zinc supplementation may be an effective treatment in major depression.Low serum Zinc has been found in generalized anxiety disorder panic disorder and obsessive compulsive disorder. People with Migraines have been shown to have low levels of Zinc[and supplementation improved symptoms in a prospective study.
Growth
Zinc deficiency in children can cause delayed growth and has been claimed to be the cause of stunted growth in one third of the world's population.

My advise
1..  Zinc is important for your child to develop brain cells and growth cells.
2... If lack of Zinc in your pregnancy may cause birth defects in brain .. lack of thinking power,
psychological disorders ...............
3..  Zinc deficiency may cause delay puberty
4..  Zinc is available in your food
