Family Health/Medical Information-continued Low Birth Weight Error! Reference source not found.Error! Reference source not found.March of Dimes http://www.marchofdimes.org/index.aspx
From March of Dimes Web-Site In this topic • Car safety seats: Tips for parents of preemies • Fetal fibronectin • Long-term health effects of premature birth • Low birthweight • Premature babies See all in article library
Low birthweight is when a baby is born weighing less than 5 pounds, 8 ounces. About 1 in every 12 babies in the United States is born with low birthweight.
Some low birthweight babies are healthy, even though they’re small. But being low birthweight can cause serious health problems for some babies.
What causes a baby to be born with low birthweight?
There are two main reasons why a baby may be born with low birthweight:
1. Premature birth. This is birth before 37 weeks of pregnancy. About 7 of 10 low-birthweight babies are premature. The earlier a baby is born, the lower her birthweight may be. About 1 in 10 babies in the United States is born prematurely. Talk to your health provider about things you can do to help reduce your chances of having a premature baby.
2. Fetal growth restriction (also called growth-restricted, small for gestational age and small for date). This means a baby doesn't gain the weight she should before birth. Growth-restricted babies may have low birthweight simply because their parents are small. Others may have low birthweight because something slowed or stopped their growth in the womb. About 1 in 10 babies (10 percent) are growth-restricted. Your health care provider may think your baby isn't growing normally if your uterus (womb) isn't growing. He may use ultrasound and heart rate monitoring to check your baby’s growth and health. In some cases, a baby’s growth can be improved by treating health conditions in the mother, like high blood pressure.
Premature birth and fetal growth restriction may be caused by conditions that affect your baby in the womb. These include:
• Birth defects. These are health conditions that a baby has at birth. Birth defects change the shape or function of one or more parts of the body. They can cause problems in overall health, how the body develops, or in how the body works. They may limit a baby’s development in the womb, which may lead to low birthweight. Babies with birth defects are more likely than babies without birth defects to be born prematurely.
• Infections. Certain infections in the baby can slow growth in the womb and cause birth defects. These include cytomegalovirus, rubella, chickenpox and toxoplasmosis.

Are some women more likely than others to have a low-birthweight baby?
Yes. Things that make you more likely than others to have a low-birthweight baby are called risk factors. Having a risk factor doesn’t mean for sure that your baby will have low birthweight. But it may increase your chances. Because many low-birthweight babies are born prematurely, many risk factors for having a low-birthweight baby are the same for preterm labor and premature birth.
Talk to your health care provider about what you can do to help reduce your risk for having a low-birthweight baby.
Medical risk factors for having a low-birthweight baby
• Preterm labor. This is labor that starts too soon, before 37 weeks of pregnancy.
• Chronic health conditions. These are health conditions that last for a long time or that happen again and again over a long period of time. They need treatment from a health care provider. Chronic health conditions that may lead to low birthweight include high blood pressure, diabetes and heart, lung and kidney problems.
• Infections. Certain infections, especially infections in the uterus (womb), may increase your chances of having a premature baby.
• Problems with the placenta. The placenta grows in your uterus and supplies your baby with food and oxygen through the umbilical cord. Some problems in the placenta can reduce the flow of blood and nutrients to your baby, which can limit your baby’s growth.
• Not gaining enough weight during pregnancy. Women who don’t gain enough weight during pregnancy are more likely to have a low-birthweight baby than women who gain the right amount of weight.
• Having a low-birthweight baby in a previous pregnancy
Risk factors in your everyday life for having a low-birthweight baby
• Smoking, drinking alcohol, using street drugs and abusing prescription drugs. Pregnant women who smoke are nearly twice as likely to have a low-birthweight baby than women who don’t smoke. Smoking, drinking alcohol, using street drugs and abusing prescription drugs during pregnancy can slow your baby’s growth in the womb and increase the risk for premature birth and birth defects.
• Having little education, low income or being unemployed
Other risk factors for having a low-birthweight baby: Age and race/ethnicity
Being younger than 17 or older than 35 makes you more likely than other women to have a low-birthweight baby. And race/ethnicity is a risk factor, too. In the United States, black women are more likely than others to have a low-birthweight baby. A little more than 13 percent of black babies are born with low birthweight each year. As for other races/ethnicities in this country, 8.4 percent of Asian babies, 7.6 percent of Native American babies, and about 7 percent of Hispanic and white babies are born with low birthweight. We don’t know why race plays a role in having a low-birthweight baby; researchers are working to learn more about it.

Family Health/Medical Information-continued Low Birth Weight Error! Reference source not found.Error! Reference source not found.March of Dimes What health conditions can low birthweight cause for newborns?
Low-birthweight babies are more likely than babies with normal weight to have health problems as a newborn. Some need special care in a hospital’s newborn intensive care unit (also called NICU) to treat medical problems like:
• Respiratory distress syndrome (also called RDS). This breathing problem is common in babies born before 34 weeks of pregnancy. Babies with RDS don’t have a protein called surfactant that keeps small air sacs in the lungs from collapsing. Treatment with surfactant helps these babies breathe more easily. Babies with RDS also may need oxygen and other breathing help to make their lungs work.
• Bleeding in the brain (also called intraventricular hemorrhage or IVH). Bleeding in the brain can affect low-birthweight premature babies, usually in the first 3 days of life. Brain bleeds usually are diagnosed with an ultrasound. Most brain bleeds are mild and fix themselves with no or few lasting problems. More severe bleeds can cause pressure on the brain that can cause fluid to build up in the brain. This can cause brain damage. To reduce the fluid, your baby may be treated with medicine. In some cases, a surgeon may insert a tube into the baby’s brain to drain the fluid.
• Patent ductus arteriosus (also called PDA). PDA is a common heart problem for premature babies. Before birth, a large artery called the ductus arteriosus lets the baby’s blood bypass his lungs. This artery usually closes after birth so that blood can travel to the baby’s lungs and pick up oxygen. When the artery doesn’t close properly, it can lead to heart failure. Providers use tests like ultrasound to check for PDA. Babies with PDA are treated with a drug that helps close the artery. If the drug doesn’t work, a baby may need surgery.
• Necrotizing enterocolitis (also called NEC). This is a problem in a baby’s intestines. The intestines are long tubes below the stomach that help digest food. NEC usually develops 2 to 3 weeks or later after birth. It can be dangerous for a baby. It can lead to feeding problems, swelling in the belly and other complications. Babies with NEC are treated with antibiotics (medicines that kill infections) and fed intravenously (through a vein) instead of by mouth while the intestine heals. In some cases, a baby may need surgery to remove damaged parts of intestine.
• Retinopathy of prematurity (also called ROP). ROP affects blood vessels in the eye. It mostly affects babies born before 32 weeks of pregnancy. Most cases heal themselves with little or no vision loss. Some babies need treatment, though, to prevent vision loss.
What health conditions can low birthweight cause later in life?
Babies born with low birthweight may be more likely than babies born at a normal weight to have certain health conditions later in life, including:
• Diabetes
• Heart disease
• High blood pressure
• Metabolic syndrome. This is caused when you have high blood pressure, diabetes and heart disease all together.
• Obesity. This means being very overweight. If you're obese, your body mass index (BMI) is 30 or higher. To find out your BMI, go to www.cdc.gov/bmi.

Talk to your baby’s health care provider about what you can do to help your baby be healthy. As your child grows, make sure she eats healthy food, stays active and goes to all her health care checkups. Getting regular checkups throughout childhood can help your baby’s provider spot health conditions that may cause problems as your baby grows older. These checkups also help make sure that your child gets all the vaccinations she needs to stay protected from certain harmful diseases.

Who We Are
Helping the Children In 1997, the State of Georgia decided to make a real difference in the lives of its children by establishing what was known as the Fatherhood Initiative. The goal of this program was to help the children by helping the parent who could not or would not support them. In partnership with the Department of Human Resources, Office of Child Support Enforcement, the Department of Technical and Adult Education Special Workforce Services began the Fatherhood Initiative as a pilot program at seven technical institutions. Its goal was to educate non-custodial fathers who were not paying child support. Specifically, it targeted low-income, non-custodial parents, those who lacked a high school diploma or GED, and those who had children receiving TANF benefits. It now functions successfully in 33 technical colleges and 3 colleges with technical divisions.
Helping the Fathers In 1998 the Georgia Fatherhood Program was working under a new name and with a new vigor. It had served over three thousand participants in its first year in operation statewide. Parents were being educated and trained in life management and survival skills, while being supported emotionally.
Its Purpose What this unique program does is provide education, training, and job placement for non-custodial parents with court- ordered child support. It does so through the technical colleges and colleges throughout Georgia. This allows the parent to contribute to the economic well being of his children and to the economy of the state.
Services Offered The Georgia Fatherhood Program has a high standard of services which includes broad assessment of academic skills and workshop competency. Transitional employment is sought for the participant while he takes part in life management and survival skills workshops. Job readiness and workforce preparation are also taught to promote success once the participant has completed the program. Back to table of content

Laws 1808, p. 52). In 1870, the legislature used a portion of Pulaski County to help create Dodge County. In 1912, Georgia voters approved a constitutional amendment creating Bleckley County from the northwestern half of Pulaski County. Georgia's 36th county was named for Count Casimir Pulaski of Poland. Pulaski, who fought on behalf of the American cause in the Revolutionary War, was mortally wounded in 1779 during an attack on British forces that had seized Savannah. County Seat: Hawkinsville. In the 1808 act creating Pulaski County, judges of the inferior court were empowered to designate the county seat and contract for the building of a courthouse and jail. In the meantime, the act directed that court sessions and elections be held at the home of Isham Jordan. The judges selected the settlement of Hartford, named in honor of American Revolution heroine Nancy Hart, on the eastern bank of the Ocmulgee River, and on Dec. 13, 1809 the General Assembly designated Hartford as county seat. On Dec. 27, 1836, the legislature approved an act moving the county seat to Hawkinsville, which lay on the western bank of the Ocmulgee River opposite Hartford. The same act incorporated Hawkinsville, which was named for Benjamin Hawkins, the noted U.S. Indian agent to the Creeks on the Georgia frontier.
