Fetus from the mother during the nutrition, the nutrition of pregnant women have a direct impact on fetal growth and development, even indirectly affect the baby after the birth of the state of health. As a result, pregnant women, to increase energy and protein may promote the growth of the fetus is the undisputed facts. During the war years due to lack of supplies, lack of proper nutrition for pregnant women, their average weight of newborns Health peace in the region lower than the same period the birth of the newborn.

In addition, the mothers during pregnancy smoking and alcohol on fetal development has also adversely affected. According to foreign scholars, research, smoking pregnant women, infants born full-term, low birth weight (weighing less than 2500 grams) of the incidence of non-smokers than 2 times higher for pregnant women; smoking and body weight of infants born to pregnant women than non-smoking Pregnant women smoke an average weight of babies born to a low of 150 to 280 grams. Newborns born to smoking mothers have a higher incidence of deformities, such as congenital heart disease incidence was 7.3% (in non-smokers only 0.7%), brain child, harelip, cleft palate and digestive tract Dysplasia of the high proportion. Mother drinking during pregnancy can cause abnormal fertilized egg to develop into a fetal alcohol syndrome.

In addition, the period of the fetus in the mother's womb will have a direct impact stunted fetal growth, birth weight, length significantly reduced, further limiting the birth rate of growth and development. Intrauterine growth of non-performing children slower growth, the majority in the maintenance of height and weight standards of the 30th percentile level of the general can not play to their full genetic potential. Not only in children with long or short, but very thin, less fatty skin, the face of the inverted triangle is a special disease, wide forehead, face more prominent chin and large eyes, small nose-down, bending under the mouth, like " Shark mouth. " At present, these children with no special treatment, the key is to strengthen the lower body weight infant feeding and care, can decrease the incidence. These children are physically healthy, mentally normal, lively expression, sexual development and on time, the only body disease is the lower figure.
