Suboptimal nutrition and high stress levels among mothers have been associated with poor fetal growth. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether either a Mediterranean diet or mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR ) among women who had high-risk pregnancies could decrease the percentage of newborns who were born small for gestational age. \u00a0Pregnant women participants were randomized to one of three groups: a Mediterranean diet (n = 407); MBSR (n = 407); or usual care (n = 407). The primary outcome of the study was the percentage of newborns who had a birth weight below the 10th percentile.\u00a0 The results demonstrated that significantly lower percentages of newborns were small for gestational age in the Mediterranean diet (14.0%) and MBSR (15.6%) groups than the usual care group (21.9%).\u00a0 The authors concluded that both a Mediterranean diet and MBSR may be effective in reducing the percentage of newborns born small for gestational age, but recommended additional studies before these treatments are\u00a0routinely recommended.<\/p>\n<p>Crovetto F, Crispi F, Casas R; et al.
