It's no secret that bad habits, such as alcohol, nicotine, drugs negatively affect the offspring. Negative influence of bad habits on future children begins even at conception. The impact of bad habits causes various complications during pregnancy. This detachment of the placenta, uterine bleeding, dissection of the bladder - this all in most cases leads to miscarriages or premature birth.
What effect does smoking have on the offspring?
According to statistics, women smokers are much more likely to spontaneous miscarriage or the birth of a dead baby than for non-smokers. Nicotine easily penetrates the placenta, which can cause the development of "tobacco syndrome" in the fetus. It is proved that daily smoking suppresses the respiratory movement of the embryo. This contributes to a violation of the proper maturation of the fetal respiratory system.
Nicotine can cause a spasm of the uterus arteries, which provide the baby's place and the fetus itself with vital products. As a result, the blood flow in the placenta is broken, placental insufficiency develops, the fetus itself does not receive enough oxygen and nutrients. Quite often in women who smoke women, babies are born with signs of hypotrophy (intrauterine growth retardation).
In addition, it is proved that nicotine affects the development of children (mental and physical). The child is often sick, has a small weight, poorly develops psycho-emotional. Especially kiddies of smoking mothers are susceptible to infections of various kinds, penetrating the respiratory tract. Such children are 6 times more sick with pneumonia, bronchitis, asthma in the first year of life than kids who do not smoke moms.
The smoking hormone is deficient in the hormonal endocrine glands, which is compensated by the endocrine system of the fetus. As a result, the formation of bones is slowed in the fetus, and protein synthesis also suffers. Hormonal imbalance of parents to the offspring is inherited.
Also affects passive smoking in the mother and fetus (stay pregnant in a smoky room). This can cause fetal oxygen starvation, albeit to a lesser extent.
What effect does the offspring have on alcohol
An even greater influence on offspring is produced by such a harmful habit as the use of alcohol.
Alcohol quickly penetrates the placenta to the fetus, which causes great damage to its body. Alcohol penetrates through the cellular barriers that surround the sex cells and reduces the process of their maturation. As a result, the genetic apparatus (the structure of the sex cells) is damaged, which causes the offspring to be born with various developmental defects. Influence on the offspring of alcohol often becomes the cause of miscarriages, premature birth, stillbirth. In addition, the mental and physical development of children is disrupted, and this is a fairly common phenomenon. Also, the effect of alcohol contributes to the violation in the offspring of the vascular system, brain, liver, endocrine glands. As a consequence, multiple fetal deformities develop, sometimes even incompatible with life. From the effects of alcohol, first of all, the fetus suffers from the brain, it is those structures that are responsible for mental activity. Many children born from a drinking mother have craniofacial defects. This microcephaly (reduced head shape), low forehead, strabismus, narrow eye cracks, a short upturned nose, a large mouth, an underdeveloped jaw. These signs are accompanied by malformations of the genital organs, irregular shape of the breast, incorrect bite of the teeth,
What effect does the offspring have on the effect of drugs
Babies born from parents who use narcotic substances often have health problems. This can be a problem for the baby with a liver, stomach, respiratory system, heart. Many cases of paralysis in children, mostly of the legs, have been reported. The baby is disturbed by brain activity, and as a result, psychosis, memory impairment, various degrees of dementia, etc., appear. Newborn children of drug addicts very often scream, they do not tolerate sharp sounds, bright light, suffer from the slightest touch.
