Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, or PCOS, is a common hormonal disorder that affects many women during their reproductive years. It can cause things like irregular periods, extra hair growth, acne, weight gain, and trouble with fertility. While lifestyle changes like eating well and staying active help, nutritionist Anjali Mukerjee has shared a cool tip on managing PCOS with an integrated approach. She has posted a detailed video about it on Instagram.
Anjali Mukerjee, in her caption, writes, 'When stress, high androgens, and insulin resistance collide, PCOS becomes a reality.' She shares that even young girls nowadays are contracting the ailment, leading to 'infertility, delayed periods, acne, and hair fall.'
She claims that 'there's a way out'.
Anjali Mukerjee's integrated approach is the solution to all these PCOS-related problems. 'Balancing nutrition, homeopathy, and lifestyle changes manages PCOS from the root,' assures the health expert. She emphasises the importance of consuming a 'high-fiber, antioxidant-rich diet', coupled with 'hormone-balancing supplements and personalised care' for better results.
According to Anjali Mukerjee, the foods that are to be eaten must be rich in carbohydrates, fiber, protein and antioxidants. 'Once you do a combination of all this, along with exercise, you can manage your PCOS very very effectively,' she asserts.

Newborn In Australia Dies After Mother Uses Home-Birthing Pool Hired From Instagram Influencer

A newborn baby in Australia died after her mother gave birth at home using a birthing pool rented from Instagram influencer Emily Lal. According to The New York Post, the mother, Ms. E, rented a birthing pool from Emily Lal, also known as The Authentic Birthkeeper, who describes herself as being "disillusioned with the medical system". The incident happened in December 2022. After giving birth, Ms. E messaged Lal saying, "I did it", and planned to have a postpartum visit. However, she struggled to deliver the placenta until the next morning. It was then that she realised something was wrong with her baby. Ms. E sent Lal a message at 8 am saying, "We can't wake her, we aren't sure if she's breathing," along with a photo of the baby's blue face. However, Lal didn't see the message for 25 minutes. After seeing the message, Lal made a FaceTime call and, believing the baby was dead, instructed the parents to call an ambulance. Paramedics attempted CPR for 30 minutes but couldn't revive her. According to forensic pathologist Yeliena Baber, a hospital birth would have allowed for preventive measures to be taken. "If Baby E were born in a hospital and Ms. E had received appropriate antenatal care, it is highly unlikely that Baby E would have died, as she was a healthy baby and her death was caused by the prolonged delivery in a home birthing pool," Dr. Baber said. She further stated that a trained midwife present during the prolonged labour would have likely transferred the mother to a hospital if the baby showed signs of distress. The coroner concluded that the baby's death likely wouldn't have happened if the birth had occurred in a hospital or if it had been a planned home birth with proper midwife support. "A homebirth is distinguished from a 'freebirth', which is when someone chooses to birth their baby without medical or midwifery assistance. The publicly available information regarding water birth … is not directed at women intending to birth at home with no medical assistance or antenatal medical management,' she said. "The single consultation with (Ms. E's GP) late in the pregnancy provided no real opportunity for education to be given regarding birth options,'' she added.

Newborn dies after mother uses 'Instagram-approved' waterbirth; How safe is the ‘freebirth' method?

In a heartbreaking case in Victoria, Australia, a newborn nicknamed 'Baby E' tragically died hours after being born in a home birthing pool rented via an Instagram influencer promoting 'freebirths', births without medical or midwife assistance. The coroner concluded the death might have been preventable with proper antenatal care or hospital birth support. But what does science say about water births in general? Are birthing pools always dangerous, or is the risk tied to how and where they are used? The tragic death of Baby E: The case that sparked concern In December 2022, Baby E was born at home, unsupported by any medical professional. The labor was prolonged, and the mother couldn't deliver the placenta until the next morning. When the baby was later found unresponsive and pale, paramedics tried CPR but could not revive her. A forensic pathologist determined the cause was complications from the delayed delivery, complications that, in a hospital or with proper midwife support, likely would have been prevented. The coroner stressed that this outcome might have been avoided with professional medical assistance. What is ' freebirth '? Freebirth, also known as unassisted birth, refers to the deliberate decision to give birth at home or elsewhere without the presence of a healthcare professional, such as a midwife or doctor. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Why is everyone rushing to get their hands on this new air cooler? News of the Discovery Undo It is a planned home birth where the birthing person chooses not to have any medical assistance or monitoring during labor and delivery. Navigating the risks: The 'to-do' list Freebirths, births without any medical or midwifery oversight, are not the same as planned home births with professional support. If considering freebirth, prioritize thorough preparation, including researching potential risks and complications, creating a detailed emergency plan, and ensuring access to immediate medical care if needed. Open communication with healthcare providers, even if you plan to freebirth, is crucial for addressing individual risk factors and making informed decisions. In the case of going ahead with the plan of freebirth, consulting resources like antenatal classes and seeking information from midwives or other healthcare professionals is recommended. Furthermore, one should talk to your healthcare provider about potential complications that might require hospital transfer and develop a clear plan for how to manage these situations. Additionally, there must be a detailed emergency plan in place that outlines how to recognize and respond to potential complications, including how to transport yourself to a hospital and what support is available in the area. In Baby E's case, there was no antenatal education, monitoring, or readiness to escalate to a hospital during complications. The coroner emphasized that promotional materials for water births don't apply to unsupervised, home-based situations. What does research say about freebirths For low-risk pregnancies, research offers reassuring news under proper medical control: A UK study published in The Guardian of over 73,000 births found no higher risks in water births supported by NHS midwives. Complication and mortality rates were similar to those of land births. A large-scale US and birth-center study, published in the British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology , of 35,060 matched pregnancies found water births led to fewer maternal hemorrhages and hospital visits, with no increase in newborn death rates, when supervised by skilled midwives. Minor risks like umbilical cord issues were noted but managed effectively. These findings suggest water births can be safe under well-supported, low-risk, and medically supervised conditions. What do professionals say about freebirths Despite these positive findings (and the massive online popularity), major medical bodies like the ACOG (American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists) urge caution. What are the potential dangers associated with waterbirth? Umbilical cord avulsion: Cord snapping might happen when the baby is lifted quickly, though rare and usually manageable. Infection risk: Particularly from waterborne bacteria like Legionella , especially if the pool isn't properly cleaned or contains recirculating water. Water aspiration or respiratory complications: In compromised newborns, the 'diving reflex' may not protect against full inhalation, which can lead to respiratory distress. ACOG's guidelines note that while water immersion during early labor may offer benefits like pain relief, there's insufficient evidence regarding safety during actual delivery underwater (second stage of labor). Concerns include infection risks, water aspiration, and cord avulsion, all of which demand strict protocols and oversight. Ultimately, the difference between safe and unsafe water birth often lies in the planning and professional support. A planned home birth with a skilled midwife, who can monitor mother and baby and transfer to the hospital if needed, carries far lower risk than unassisted, influencer-driven births.
