- Hypothyroidism During Pregnancy Linked to Lower IQ For Child.
- Children born to mothers with untreated hypothyroidism during pregnancy score lower on IQ tests than children of healthy mothers, according to a study conducted by Dr. ...
- "Fortunately, hypothyroidism is a condition that can be identified and treated during pregnancy. ...
- From 25,216 frozen serum samples obtained during pregnancy, researchers identified 62 women who had children between January 1987 and March 1990 and who, in retrospective analysis, were identified as having been hypothyroid during their pregnancies. ...
- The children born to mothers who were hypothyroid during pregnancy scored an average of 4 points lower in IQ tests than the control children, and 15 percent had IQ scores lower than 85, compared to only 5 percent of the control children who scored that low. ...
- Of the 62 women with hypothyroidism, 48 did not receive treatment during pregnancy for their condition. ...
- "These findings suggest that early detection and treatment for hypothyroidism of the mother during pregnancy might be an important factor in the intelligence and well-being of her child," said James E. ...

2. Topics-Psychiatric Disorders During Pregnancy
- www.womensmentalhealth.org
- Although pregnancy has typically been considered a time of emotional well being, recent studies suggest that up to 20% of women suffer from mood or anxiety disorders during pregnancy. Particularly vulnerable are those women with histories of psychiatric illness who discontinue psychotropic medications during pregnancy. Although data accumulated over the last 30 years suggest that some medications may be used safely during pregnancy, knowledge regarding the risks of prenatal exposure to psychotropic medications is incomplete. Thus, it is relatively common for patients to discontinue or to avoid pharmacologic treatment during pregnancy. ...
- Frequently women with histories of psychiatric illness seek consultations regarding the use of medications during pregnancy, either prior to conception or early in the course of pregnancy. In other cases, women present with recurrent or new onset of mood or anxiety symptoms during pregnancy. In both of these settings, the clinician faces certain challenges when making recommendations regarding the treatment of psychiatric illness during pregnancy. ...
- All medications diffuse readily across the placenta, and no psychotropic drug has yet been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use during pregnancy. When prescribing medications during pregnancy, one must consider the following risks associated with prenatal exposure: risk of teratogenesis, risk of neonatal toxicity, and risk of long-term neurobehavioral sequelae.
- During the earliest stages of pregnancy, formation of major organ systems takes place and is complete within the first 12 weeks after conception. ... For each organ or organ system, there exists a critical period during which development takes place and is susceptible to the effects of a teratogen. ...
- Although the data suggest that some medications may be used safely during pregnancy, our knowledge regarding the long-term effects of prenatal exposure to psychotropic medications is incomplete. ...
- Behavioral teratogenesis refers to the potential of a psychotropic drug administered during pregnancy to have long-term neurobehavioral effects. For example, are children who have been exposed to an antidepressant in utero at risk for cognitive or behavioral problems at a later point during their development? To date, few studies have systematically investigated the impact of exposure to psychotropic medications in utero on development and behavior in humans.
- Among the TCAs, desipramine and nortriptyline are preferred since they are less anti-cholinergic and the least likely to exacerbate orthostatic hypotension that occurs during pregnancy. ...
- Information regarding the reproductive safety of sertraline (Zoloft), paroxetine (Paxil), and fluvoxamine (Luvox) use during pregnancy is gradually accumulating but is limited in terms of sample size. ...

- Mothers of "hyperkinetic" children were found to smoke an average of 14 cigarettes during pregnancy compared to only 6 cigarettes smoked on average for mothers of "normal" children. ...
- This study of a very large sample of children gives insights into the real dangers of smoking during pregnancy. Known as the National Child Development Study, in Britain, there were over 9,000 children measured to determine the effects of their mothers smoking either 0, 10, or more than 10 cigarettes per day during pregnancy. ...
- Maternal smoking during pregnancy was linearly associated with the poorer performance on the overall SCAN tests which assessed listening skills in a noisy background and the dichotic task, which required the child to attend to simultaneous information in both ears and is thought to be a measure of the childs auditory maturation or developmental level. ...
- A Comparison of Active and Passive Smoking During Pregnancy: Long Term Effects.
- Human reports as well as animal studies have recorded accelerated motor activity, learning and memory deficits in offsprings of mothers exposed to nicotine during pregnancy. ... This research provides an excellent biological model to support the many other studies linking increased hyperactivity, attention deficits, lower IQ, and learning disabilities in children with parents who smoked during pregnancy. ...
- The more cigarettes a mother smoked during pregnancy, the greater the likelihood her child would demonstrate severe behavior problems as the child became older. ...
- Smoking During Pregnancy Increases Conduct Disorders.
- More evidence on the connection between a mother's smoking during pregnancy and increased risk of having a child with behavior disorders. ...
- Our study extends previous research onhumans by controlling a broad range of correlates of maternal smoking during pregnancy todetermine if smoking is associated with behavior problems in the offspring severe enough to qualifyfor DSM-III-R diagnoses. ...
- Correlates of maternal smoking during pregnancy and previously identified demographic, parental, perinatal, and family risk factors for the disruptive behavior disorders were controlled in logistic regression analyses. ...
- Results: Mothers who smoked more than half a pack of cigarettes daily during pregnancy were significantly more likely to have a child with conduct disorder (odds ratio, 4. ... 001) than mothers who did not smoke during pregnancy. This association was statistically significant when controlling for socioeconomic status, maternal age, parental antisocial personality, substance abuse during pregnancy, and maladaptive parenting.
