The body of the pregnant woman
The body of the pregnant woman
The body of the mother begins to send signals to confirm a suspected pregnancy. The confirmation was made through a test (commercial) l urine or blood tests. Pregnancy will be confirmed if both tests detected the presence of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), which indicates that a new being has been conceived in the womb of the woman. Because of hormonal changes in your body, the pregnant woman may experience fatigue, nausea and vomiting, an increased volume of the breasts, the more the urge to urinate (because the uterus puts increased pressure on the bladder), some pelvic discomfort and an exaggerated sense of smell. The action of hormones also cause instability in the emotional side of women. Even if you are happy to have wanted unborn baby, you can also feel nervous, insecure and fearful.
Guidelines for prenatal care in the first month of pregnancy
Before becoming pregnant, supplement your diet with vitamin B folic acid (found in most multivitamins) to reduce the risk of birth defects of the brain and spinal cord. Visit your doctor as soon as you think you are pregnant. During the first 8 weeks of pregnancy are all organs of your baby. The first months are crucial for their development. All or almost all that you do have an impact on the health of the baby you have in your belly. If you smoke, it is best to leave to do so for the sake of your baby. Remember that your health depends on the feed diet you follow, your emotional state, and all that is exposed.

‘Alice in Wonderland’
I received many requests to do this. I tried several times but each time wearing … Well, as a disaster. But as many continued asking for it, I finally got it to look halfway decent.
For the love of god, do not say “This fungus is not orange” or “It’s a grandfather clock, not a pocket watch.” Had limited resources to work and I’m NOT going to make a full box clock. My makeup, my way. XD
‘Aladdin’
Uggghhh! This was difficult. It took much longer than usual. Everything looks a bit modified, but I could not do otherwise. The only thing I liked is that … thing … golden. It took me years!
‘The Lion King’

physical activity for the baby
Every time the mom exercises recommended practice, your baby gets a larger share of oxygen in the blood that will improve your metabolism and give you a pleasurable sensation. All your senses, particularly the brain, it will be running at its optimum level.
Some benefits of physical activity for the baby are:
• The hormones released during the year pass through the placenta to the baby. At the start of exercise it receives an emotional stimulus of adrenaline from the mother.
• During the year the baby will experience the effects of endorphins, substances that make us feel much better and more relaxed.
• At the end of physical activity, endorphins exert a powerful calming effect, which may last more than eight hours, and is perceived by the baby
• The movement of the exercise is comforting and the baby will be pleased by the effect of balancing.
• When the mother is exercised, the muscles of his abdomen performed a kind of pleasant and soothing massage for the baby.

PHYSICAL ACTIVITY DURING PREGNANCY
PHYSICAL ACTIVITY DURING PREGNANCY
Today is very common during pregnancy gymnastics. Physical activity is the best way to get to the birth of healthy, controlled by doctors and recommended by sports professionals.
The changes that occur in the body are many, when a woman is expecting a child. Therefore it is necessary that the body will adapt little by little all these new sensations. The specific and controlled physical activity is best for mom enjoyment with the least amount of hassle or pain, nine months pregnant and also get in top physical condition at birth, which is no less important.
Gymnastics for pregnant women is not something that has always existed. Times have changed, and this need is intensified, in particular, little more than two decades. The doctors began to realize that the woman who had performed physical activity during pregnancy was more prepared at the time of delivery, more actively involved, their physical condition was much more appropriate and thanks to which, there was a visible decline in visits for pain and discomfort before and after childbirth.
Currently, the specific physical activity for pregnant women has been extended and are the doctors themselves who advise expectant mothers about their benefits. Importantly, physical activity enables the body to release chemicals that help the mother to relax, adding to the rapid blood circulation caused by gymnastics allows better oxygenation of the body of the pregnant woman and her baby.
Throughout the entire pregnancy exercises are located, to work all those areas of the body that alter and reduce the most common conditions: back pain, discomfort under the ribs, sloping shoulders forward. Also, moms learn and work all the exercises to be implemented at the time of delivery.
Finally comes the expected time. Here the mother is in the instance of post-partum and now, as then, it is important for physical activity. Through it, the body of the mother can return quickly to normal to continue agile, active and beautiful, now with his baby.
The time of pregnancy for women is a stage of life where the desires of self-care and baby occupy much of your expectations. Perhaps no other moment in the life of women in which it is most needed regular exercise practice, bearing in mind that giving birth means a great physical activity and, as in any other of them can not be expected happy ending but it does have some prior learning or development.

observations of children
The first observations of children attending diabetes camps support this idea (Gabriele & Marble, 1949). Sterky (1970) reported that juvenile diabetes experienced less glucosuria in this environment of high activity, and Kinsell (1955) described a 40% reduction in insulin doses in children with diabetes who went to the camps, which he attributed to exercise. These results may have been interfered with, both by the accompanying scheme, both for food control in the administration of insulin, but the first studies that show improvements in metabolic control after physical training support their conclusions.
Engerbretson (1965) observed a lower urinary secretion of glucose, lower blood glucose levels and lower insulin dose in 5 diabetics, after 6 weeks of interval training. Ludvigsson (1980) provided a financial questionnaire to 143 children and adolescents with diabetes, and found a positive correlation between regular physical activity and metabolic control (proportion of daily tests without glucosuria). However, when Larsson, Persson, and Sterky (1964) subjected to six children with diabetes to an exercise program of one hour a week for 5 months, no changes in urinary glucose. What was missing in these studies, plus a sufficient number of subjects and an appropriate exercise regime was satisfactory means for measuring metabolic control over a long period of training time.
In 1980, Dahl-Jorgensen, Meen, Hanssen, and first used Aagenaes levels of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) to assess the effect of physical training in children with diabetes. Glycated hemoglobin is that portion of total hemoglobin that is attached to a molecule of glucose and HbA1 concentrations in the circulation is a reflection of blood glucose levels during the average life span of red blood cells. Therefore, expressed in percentages of total hemoglobin, HbA1 serves as a valuable marker of glycemic control during the 4 to 6 weeks before their determination. Consequently, HBAL levels have become useful tools to monitor patients.
Dahl-Jorgensen et al. (1980) studied the effects of an exercise program for 5 months on HBAL levels in 14 diabetic children aged between 9 and 15. Although during training HBAL levels decreased, the results were weakened by methodological problems. At the end of the VO2 max program. not increased, suggesting that exercise intensity was low. Blood samples were frozen, and determined the levels of HBAL, 5 months after the end of the study. In 7 of 8 control subjects, the HBAL also declined, and not evaluated in this group the level of regular physical activity.
Campaign, Gilliam, Spencer, Lampman, and Schork (1984) found a beneficial effect of regular exercise on metabolic control in nine diabetic children 5 to 11 years of age. In these children, HBAL levels and fasting blood glucose decreased significantly after a training program for 12 weeks. However, in a second training study with 14 adolescents with juvenile diabetes, no significant improvements in the control group (Campaign et al., 1985). HBAL average levels remained unchanged in 12% (normal 7.1 ± 0.11%), after a 3-month program of aerobic exercise three times a week.

Prevention education
Prevention education
As usual, the “To be born healthy,” has continued to spread through courses and conferences, all members of the group ECEMC in different provinces across the country. In these activities, along with mailings, have distributed more than 27,000 copies of brochures, including the three leaflets of the Foundation 1000, on preventive measures, the SITE and folic acid. In addition, the Community of Castilla y León has reissued the brochure on the 20 questions for prevention, and is spreading throughout the Community. Even been translated into 6 languages, so you can reach the immigrant population. Also, has given us translations, and the Royal Board on Disability within the Foundation Programme 1000 “To be born healthy,” with whom he collaborated, make a great shot to spread throughout the country.

SPORTS TRAINING AND CONTROL OF DIABETES
SPORTS TRAINING AND CONTROL OF DIABETES
The finding that acute exercise could lower blood glucose in diabetic subjects led to the hope that regular physical activity, or training, may help normalize blood sugar and reduce insulin requirements on a chronic basis. One would expect, on the other hand, this fact would reduce the complications of diabetes, the long term. Table 2 summarizes the results of studies examining this possibility, and these are discussed in subsequent sections.
