The gut microbiome is crucial for maintaining health, and its imbalance can contribute to complications. During pregnancy, there are changes in the intestinal and vaginal microbiome🦠. These changes can affect the mother's metabolism and interfere with the metabolic and immunological health of the baby.
It consists of thousands of species of bacteria and is influenced by our genetics🧬 and diet. The composition of the intestinal microbiome determines the amount of energy we get from food. 🍎Supplementation with probiotics💊 regulates the unbalanced composition of the microflora, which can appear, for example, in women with obesity or diabetes.
Probiotics 🧫 have been found to have a protective role in the development of preeclampsia, gestational diabetes mellitus, vaginal infections, maternal and infant weight gain👩🏼🍼 and allergic diseases.
The results of another study showed that taking probiotics during pregnancy can reduce fasting blood glucose, the incidence of gestational diabetes mellitus and preeclampsia, and C-reactive protein levels.
Probiotics are generally safe and have been shown to have health benefits in a variety of conditions. 🙏🏻
