In video 6 of our pregnancy series, Madelaine Golec, Pelvic Health Physiotherapist talks with Dr. Emily Lipinski, Naturopathic Doctor about the use of probiotics during pregnancy. This video is for educational purposes only to help you ask more questions of your health care provider. Please make sure to speak with your MD, OB, midwife or Naturopathic doctor before taking any supplements.
Probiotic supplements contain beneficial bacteria that are known for their various health benefits. The probiotic (bacterial) species that have been specifically studied for positive health benefit in pregnancy are: lactobacillus rhamosis, l. reuteri and saccromyces bouldarii. Some of the benefits of taking probiotics during pregnancy include:
1. An increased number of healthy bacteria being present and a low number of staphlococcus aurea bacteria being present, which can help protect children from becoming overweight and obese.
2. Probiotics modulate the immune system which helps to strengthen your immune system and lower inflammation
3. Probiotic supplementation during pregnancy may help prevent against atopic dermatitis (eczema).
4. Supplementing during pregnancy may also decrease the incidence of bacterial vaginosis.
