Alcohol And Pregnancy
Ed Philips
It's quite amazing really that on average nine out of ten women actually enjoy a nice alcoholic beverage. But what most women don't know is what limit of alcohol can be consumed while pregnant and that many doctors are saying that this behaviour can lead to birth defects. The simple fact of the matter is that the alcohol passes into the placenta and directly into the foetuse's bloodstream which can lead to stunting its growth. This is serious so let's just look into this a bit more.
Every drop of alcohol will pass into the baby's blood supply and during the first three months this can be critical for the normal development of the baby's brain and body. So the damage being caused is blatantly obvious and it's not always the short term development that is being affected as it can also affect the long term development too. Statistics prove that babies who have to put up with alcohol in their bloodstream will go on to be alcoholics in later life.
Not many women know this but drinking alcohol just before your pregnant is the most harmful way of effecting the development of your baby. You should also know that cutting down or stopping alcohol will make a great difference to your baby's health and growth. But you should also know and be aware, that once the damage has been done, you cannot reverse it. So think about your baby's health before you consume your next alcoholic drink.
The most important point to get over to you is that should you be considering getting pregnant, then also consider giving up drinking alcohol as well. It is also useful to know under these circumstances that heavy drinking men tend to have low sperm counts, so this could be a real chance for you and your partner to give each other moral support in both giving up alcohol. If you find this a difficult task to tackle then you should seek more guidance and you can really find some great advice here... http://www.stopdrinkingadvice.org
