Pregnancy is the time during which one or more offspring develops inside a woman’s womb. It is an exciting time for the pregnant woman, because she knows that she is doing all she can to stay healthy during pregnancy and give her baby a healthy start in life!
However, pregnant women also suffer from dramatic changes in their immune and physiological conditions. For example, alterations in the gastrointestinal tract and vaginal microbiome populations frequently occur during pregnancy, might influencing the maternal metabolic profile and also contributing to the metabolic and immunological health of the offspring. In general, gut microbiome might play an important role in pregnancy.
In recent years, numerous studies have identified the health effects of probiotics in pregnancy women, which are summarized in the following table.
Pregnancy outcomes | Health effect |
Gestational weight gain | Decrease the risk of large waist circumference |
Gestational diabetes | Lower risk of gestational diabetes |
Preeclampsia | Lower risk of preeclampsia (20 %) and severe preeclampsia |
Preterm birth | Modulation of the vaginal microbiota and cytokine excretion |
Lipid profile | Reduced triglyceride and LDL concentration postpartum |
Vaginal Microbiome | promote a healthy vaginal microenvironment |
