Bipolar illness can be particularly difficult to manage in pregnancy and during the post-partum period. The risks of mood stabilizing medication on the health of the infant must be considered carefully along with the risks of uncontrolled illness in the mother. Lithium use in pregnancy and lactation has been associated with a number of negative effects in the newborn. This article reviews the latest evidence regarding the risks and benefits of the use of lithium in pregnant or lactating women.

The European Commission charged the research project PERILIP, jointly with the Early Nutrition Programming Project, to develop recommendations on dietary fat intake in pregnancy and lactation. Literature reviews were performed and a consensus conference held with international experts in the field, including representatives of international scientific associations. The adopted conclusions include: dietary fat intake in pregnancy and lactation (energy%) should be as recommended for the general population; pregnant and lactating women should aim to achieve an average dietary intake of at least 200 mg DHA/d; intakes of up to 1 g/d DHA or 2·7 g/d n-3 long-chain PUFA have been used in randomized clinical trials without significant adverse effects; women of childbearing age should aim to consume one to two portions of sea fish per week, including oily fish; intake of the DHA precursor, α-linolenic acid, is far less effective with regard to DHA deposition in fetal brain than preformed DHA; intake of fish or other sources of long-chain n-3 fatty acids results in a slightly longer pregnancy duration; dietary inadequacies should be screened for during pregnancy and individual counselling be offered if needed.

1. Dietary records were obtained twice in pregnancy and once post-partum from 265 women from all social classes in London and Edinburgh.2. The London women always had higher mean energy, protein, fat and fibre intakes. Significant between-region differences emerged.3. Some between-social classes differences occurred, but were not consistently significant.4. All mean energy and fibre intakes were lower, and protein and fat intakes were higher, than current recommendations.5. Of lactating women 15% claimed to be dieting.6. The percentage dietary energy derived from fat varied from 36 (in a dieting group) to 42.

Pregnancy- and lactation-associated osteoporosis (PLO) is a rare disorder, usually occurring in late pregnancy and the early post-partum period. The prevalence, etiology, pathogenesis and therapy remains unclear. Three clinical cases of PLO present patients with multiple severe osteoporotic fractures during the peri-pregnancy period and different treatment strategies.
