I f MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON WEDNESDAY. MAY S. H'63 Obstetrician States Too Many Babies Lost PilrlcL McCormcb By PATRICIA McCORMACK Unit. Prtii International New York -flJPU- MEMO to expectant parents: You owe it to that "passenger in inner space to do all within your power to assure the birth ol a healthy off spring. Dr. George E. Judd, the Los Angeles, Calif., doctor who says so Is president of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. Interviewed during the an nual meeting of the college in New York, Dr. Judd noted that the medical armament never has been in a better position to assure the best pos sible care for both expectant mothers and - "the passenger in inner space." But, so far, mothers have gained more than the babies. One proof of the dividend for pregnant women: maternal mortality his dropped to rec ord lows. Dr. Judd lamented, how ever, that fetal salvage rates haven't advanced as much -or as much as they can. Many Babies Lost As a result, countless babies that might be saved are io.'t. Dr. Judd said the loss often can be traced to a dreadful lack of prenatal care. Many women seem to feel that so long as nothing seems wrong with them during pregnancy, there's not much need to see the doctor until nearly the last minute. As a minimum "bill of rights" for the baby and mother, Dr. Judd recommend ed that all pregnant women: -See the doctor during the first trimester, the earlier the better. -Recognize that there is a greater need during this peri od to do all things to promote general health and to avoid those things that detract from general health. -Avoid excesses of anxiety, exercise, work, eating - al most anything and everything that by its excess drains the health. -Get supplemental minerals and vitamins if prescribed by the doctor. Take them as di rected. Dr. ' Judd said , smoking doesn't improve general health and, as a result, it can't help hurting the baby. ' Don't Smoka "In general," he said, "my feeling is. that no pregnant woman should smoke.!' Dr. Judd said the condition of expectant parenthood is a time calling for great under standing and a greater bond of love between husband and wife. "The husband should rec ognize that when the wife be comes pregnant, this requires conduct and activity that is different from normal," he said. "This is the greatest aspect in the husband-wife relation ship and it calls for under standing. The same can be said of husbands of women with gynecological problems." The expert said that even the husband's time in the ma ternity suite's waiting room can be nle&Kant if ih. I,... band has been properly in doctrinated about what is go ing on. "A lack of information at this time is disturbing," ne said. "It is a fact that the hus band's anxiety is heightened and diminished according to his understanding and how much Is communicated to him." , Scholarships Announced Four southern Oregon stu dents have been awarder! scholarships by the Oregon Diaie college Mother s club.
