Allergist

An allergist-immunologist is a physician who successfully completed an accredited educational program in allergy and immunology. An allergist/immunologist specializes in the treatment of allergic and immunologic diseases. This special practice includes the diagnosis and treatment of allergic rhinitis, asthma, allergic eye diseases, atopic dermatitis, hives, chronic cough, chronic sinus infections, frequent colds or bronchitis and immune system problems. Allergists also treat patients with food allergies, medication allergies, venom allergies and even latex allergies. Allergists or immunologists are medical doctors who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of immune system diseases. They treat people with conditions such as asthma, eczema and allergic reactions to food, medications, insect stings or environmental agents such as pollen. Allergists may specialize in treating certain types of conditions, such as food allergies, or they may specialize in treating people in certain age groups, such as pediatric allergists, who treat children. As researchers discover more about immune system disorders, allergists treat a broader range of conditions caused by immune system problems.

Pregnancy Complications

Overweight and obesity raise the risk of pregnancy complications for both mother and baby. Pregnant women who are overweight or obese may have an increased risk for: Gestational diabetes high blood sugar during pregnancy; Pre-eclampsia, which is high blood pressure during pregnancy that can cause severe problems for both mother and baby if left untreated; and Cesarean delivery or complications with cesarean delivery.
Babies of overweight or obese mothers have an increased risk of neural tube defects of the brain and spinal cord, stillbirth, prematurity and being large for gestational age.
Pregnant women who are overweight are more likely to develop insulin resistance, high blood sugar and high blood pressure. Insulin resistance is when cells do not respond properly to the hormone insulin, which carries blood sugar to cells for energy. Insulin resistance may result in high levels of blood sugar. Being overweight also increases risks associated with surgery and anesthesia and severe obesity increases operative time and blood loss.
Some studies have shown that gaining excess weight during pregnancy, even without becoming obese, may increase risks. It is important to consult with an obstetrician or other health care provider about how much weight to gain during pregnancy.
Women who are overweight or obese and who would like to become pregnant should speak with a health care provider about losing weight before becoming pregnant. Pre-pregnancy weight loss significantly reduces pregnancy complications. Pregnant women who are overweight or obese should speak with a health care provider about limiting gestational weight gain and being physically active during pregnancy.
Losing excess weight after delivery may help women reduce their health risks. If a woman developed gestational diabetes, losing weight will lower her risk of developing diabetes later in life.
