Pregnancy infections ... Herpesvirus
Posted in May 2018

Herpes infection during pregnancy can be very severe for the newborn. It can result in pregnancy loss, prematurity, and low birth weight. Herpesvirus infection of the newborn is most serious towards the end of pregnancy, during birth, or immediately following birth. Infection toward the end of pregnancy can result in microcephaly, inflammation of the retina, rash, and hydrocephalus.
According to the NIH
cephalus is derived from the Greek words ‘hydro’ meaning water and ‘cephalus’ meaning head. As the name implies, it is a condition in which the primary characteristic is excessive accumulation of fluid in the brain. Although hydrocephalus was once known as ‘water on the brain,’ the ‘water’ is actually cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) — a clear fluid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord. The excessive accumulation of CSF results in an abnormal widening of spaces in the brain called ventricles. This widening creates potentially harmful pressure on the tissues of the brain.
Infection with herpes during birth or shortly thereafter can result in disease of the eye, mouth, or skin as well as brain and other types of infection.
The risk of such devastating consequences of herpes virus infection can be mitigated by the administration of acyclovir, an antiviral drug, during the final four weeks of pregnancy in a woman who experienced a first episode of genital herpes during pregnancy.

My advise
1..  Take Healthy food and follow healthy habits to avoid infections during your pregnancy.
2... Drink sufficient water

Benefits of Minerals ..1 Brought to U.... http://successgain.us       and      http://successgain.info 2.... Major vs. Trace Minerals Minerals that are considered vital to good health, fitness, and mental well-being are divided into two primary groups: major minerals and trace minerals. Major minerals are considered minerals that the body requires in relatively large amounts and include calcium, chloride, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and sodium, and sulfur. The human body requires major minerals in larger quantities and are considered macro-minerals. On the other hand, trace minerals are required by the human body in much lower quantities and are considered micro-minerals. Trace minerals include chromium, copper, iodine, fluorine, iron, manganese, molybdenum, selenium, and zinc. In both cases, consuming an adequate level of both the major and trace minerals is required for good health and wellness. For a more detailed discus...

It’s required for muscle contraction, proper heart function, and the transmission of nerve signals. It’s also needed by a few enzymes, including one that helps your body turn carbohydrates into energy. The best sources of potassium are fruits and vegetables. The most common cause of potassium deficiency is excessive fluid loss. Examples can include extended vomiting, kidney disease, or the use of certain medications such as diuretics. Symptoms of potassium deficiency include muscle cramping and weakness. Other symptoms show up as constipation, bloating, or abdominal pain caused by paralysis of the intestines. Severe potassium deficiency can cause paralysis of the muscles or irregular heart rhythms that may lead to death. 7... Zinc deficiency ...
