Too Many Babies Lost

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." ,
