For women wanting to foster a healthy gut microbiome and immune system during pregnancy, and lay the foundation for a robust gut microbiome for their baby.
Genes & the Microbiome Research shows that pathogens in the gut can damage DNA, making a healthy gut microbiome essential to genome integrity.
The Gut During Pregnancy
A pregnant woman’s gut microbiome changes considerably from the first to the third trimester, with an overall reduction in bacterial diversity. These changes have been associated with a variety of undesirable effects, including constipation and weakened immunity. The placenta, as well as the mother’s gut and vaginal microbiomes, influence the development of the baby’s gut microbiome.
The Baby’s Microbiome
When a baby is born, their gut microbiome is not yet fully developed. Infants may also struggle with digestive issues such as 3-month colic and reflux. A little help building a balanced and diverse gut microbiome can go a long way. Research has shown that a lack of diversity in the gut microbiome can impact immune function, and increase susceptibility to allergies and digestive issues later in life.
