What Can Be Injurious to Your Pregnancy?

Drinking alcohol and drugs before pregnancy
|
For recent years we knew a lot about taking and
abuse of drugs
and alcohol. Some people ask about quantity of
alcohol,
cigarettes or drugs they can take during pregnancy
without
doing harm to themselves and fetus. The best way is
to exclude
everything. |
 |
|
And it is better to do it before pregnancy. By the
time when you understand you’re pregnant, about 8-10 weeks may
pass after conception. Thus, you could take drugs, not knowing that
you were pregnant. However, mother’s ignorance will not save
fetus from various harmful effects. Few of women would start taking
alcohol and drugs, if they knew about their pregnancy. Stop taking
any preparations, not necessary for you, at least 3 moths before pregnancy!
|
In past we knew little about abuse of alcohol. Today
doctors-experts in narcology can already give recommendations and
prescribe treatment for those, who became addicted to alcohol or drugs.
|
Undoubtedly, nicotine, alcohol and drugs are harmful
and dangerous both for you and your future baby. It is better to get
assistance now, while you have not conceived a baby yet, than struggling
with these habits, when you are already pregnant. If you think you
will do no harm to anybody, continuing taking substances, poisoning
organism, during pregnancy, then you are just mistaken. Moreover,
you bring irreparable damage to your baby’s health.
|
According to researches, and you should remember
of it, taking alcohol and drugs during pregnancy influences baby’s
intellect, his mental faculties. And safe quantity of taking of such
substances is out of the question.
|
Smoking
|
We knew for a long that smoking damages pregnancy
and fetus development. Babies, whose mother smoked during pregnancy,
have low weight while childbirth and developmental delays. A woman’s
pregnancy seldom passes all right, if she’s still smoking. If
you smoke, but want to have a baby, you need to quit this habit, and
do it beforehand – before conception. Consult a doctor, he will
help you quitting nicotine addiction.
|
Alcohol
|
Earlier it was considered that small quantity of
alcohol during pregnancy will do no harm. Today we understand that
any quantity of alcohol you drink during pregnancy will bring inevitable
consequences. Alcohol penetrates through placenta and effects fetus
directly. If you drank a glass of wine, this means your future baby
drank it too! How would you like it? Abuse of alcohol during pregnancy
leads to alcohol syndrome of a fetus.
|
Work and pregnancy
|
One of the most important moments in planning of
pregnancy is your work. Many women don’t even suppose that that
will have a baby, even by the time, when first stages of pregnancy
are already behind. As this period of pregnancy is extremely important
for fetus growth and development, it would be wise to plan pregnancy
beforehand. Such planning should foresee the way your work will influence
pregnancy, i.e. what you will have to deal with on work and which
influence it will make on your health and baby’s development.
|
Another question, connected with work, which you
should care about beforehand, - is compensatory damage and insurance,
which your company’s program of help for mothers grants. Majority
of companies grant special vacations for pregnant. There is sense
in learning everything before pregnancy. If you don’t take care
about this beforehand, then, when you will be already with a baby
in your hands, it will be more difficult for you to find necessary
money for providing normal life. Childbirth is an expensive pleasure.
|
Some kinds of works can be dangerous and harmful
for pregnant. Such substances, like chemicals, inhalers, radio-active
substances or liquid dissolvents, which you have to deal with on work,
can become a reason of complications during pregnancy.
|
Women, who are standing for the major part of their
working day, should be especially careful. As a rule, they give birth
to babies with low height and weight. If you had premature birth in
past or you have lack of cervix, then you should not get fixed up
in a job, which requires constant tension or connected with physical
loads. Consult your doctor about conditions of your work.
|
Majority of doctors will advice you not to quit working
without special reasons. If there is something that worries you, speak
to your doctor about it.
