hello Joseph Tomlinson 13:40, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

Matilda, I cut and pasted your reference list in the Bibliography page. Good start. Nancy Sabatier 16:53, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

Think we are going to need to meet up before tuesday to decide which references to use and a bit to say on each of them? or could each write a bit on every one we put up and then just cut a few out later on? Lucy Wilkinson 10:50, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

You'll see that on the Related articles subpage I've placed links to all the articles from the other groups this year - and also to last year's articles. Good luck with this, I'm seeing some reference lists come up, but not all.Gareth Leng 15:57, 9 October 2010 (UTC)


Reference list looks good. Perhaps we have to many, so as Lucy said we should cut some? We need to meet up to decide how we are going to divide up the article for the draft due in two weeks time. Joseph Tomlinson 11:41, 12 October 2010 (UTC)


Nice reference list, you don't have to use them all in your article, just choose the most relevant one. Nancy Sabatier 16:17, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

Let me know whens a good time to go over the plan…ive got an essay to do this week so thought I would do my input now: I have looked at 5/6 of the review articles on the subject and no have a potential plan of the 3 main headings in the article. Let me know what you think and if you think I have missed any key topics?

• Metabolic adaptations which occur during pregnancy

(Main reference: Metabolic adaptations in pregnancy and their implications for the availability of substrates to the foetus: E Herrera 2000)

Subheading to include: changes in food consumption during pregnancy and lactation, 2 defined stages of pregnancy, effects and causes of increased gluconeogenesis and the conserved evolutionary adaptations to reduce energy expenditure during pregnancy

• Changes of Hormone interactions and appetite regulators during pregnancy and lactation (Main references: Hormone interaction regulating energy balance during pregnancy: Ladyman et al. 2010, Regulation of Food consumption during pregnancy and lactation in mice: Makarova et al. 2010 & leptin iin pregnancy: an update, Henson and Castracance 2005.)

Subheading to include: changes in orexigenic and anorectic neuropeptides during pregnancy, development of leptin and insulin resistance during different reproductive states and the potential role of prolactin and placental lactogen in hyperphagia.

• The effects and problems associated with Obesity during pregnancy (Main Reference: The implications of obesity on pregnancy: Wuntakal and Hollingwoth 2009.)

Subheadings to include: Why women are increasing in body weight after parturition, maternal diseases and adverse outcomes of being obese when pregnant and the effects on foetal programming and health problems later in life.
