Anti Depressant Study in First Trimester
Two studies analyzed the effects of various anti depressant drugs known as Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRI's) and found no major instances of birth defects associated with the drugs. The study looked at the use of SSRI’s during the first trimester of pregnancy. There was, however, a slightly higher risk of developing a rare heart defect associated with the use of Zoloft and Paxil. The increased risk, however, was extremely low with a rate of under one percent. Depression affects approximately 10 to 20% of pregnant women. While the use of anti depressants during pregnancy is not believed to pose no risks, the studies suggest that it is nonetheless relatively safe.

Smoking and Stillbirth Link
A recent study suggests that women who smoke during pregnancy are at a considerably higher risk of experiencing a stillbirth. The study followed women during their first and second pregnancies and found that women who smoked during both pregnancies had a 35% higher chance of a stillbirth than nonsmokers. Women who smoked during the first pregnancy, but had quit prior to their second pregnancy, decreased their chances of having a stillbirth. In addition, those who quit smoking for their second pregnancy showed no difference in the risk of stillbirth as compared to those who had never smoked before. Women who smoked more than ten cigarettes a day during their second pregnancy had a 45% increased risk of having a stillbirth.

Potatoes Linked to Juvenile Diabetes
Australian researchers believe they have found a link between the development of type 1 diabetes in children and a mother's pregnancy diet. The study found that mice who are genetically predisposed to type 1 diabetes were more likely to develop diabetes as well as pancreatic damage if the mothers were given the toxin bafilomycin while pregnant. The bacterial toxin can be found in vegetables such as beetroot, potatoes and parsnips. The researchers believe it could have similar effects in humans. The findings will be presented at the American Diabetes Association Congress in the United States
