It is worth remembering that the abuse of harmful habits during pregnancy causes a number of negative diseases in the baby and directly his mother. These children are most often premature (seven months old) have low weight and height after they were born. They simply need the care of doctors and further treatment. Very often, babies die in the womb or a pregnancy aborts with an ordinary miscarriage. Also, it should be noted that even after giving birth to a baby breast-feeding a woman, taking alcohol or experiencing cravings for cigarettes, can pass through the mother's milk all harmful to his health components. So what is the actual effect of alcohol and tobacco smoking on the course of pregnancy and childbirth?
The answer to this question is known to almost everyone, and it sounds far from the benefit of a woman who is about to give birth to her child and does not think at all about the consequences of her bad habits, which can be very detrimental to his future.
Effect of tobacco smoking. Nowadays almost every third girl smokes. They do not want to look into their future. Tobacco smoke contains a large number of harmful constituents, it is carbon monoxide, methyl alcohol, tar and much more. Therefore, breathing this air, we are exposed to danger, not only ourselves, but our unborn baby too.
The most dangerous substance of tobacco smoke is nicotine. He penetrates the woman's body, thereby gaining to her fetus. Striking at the same time, his not strengthened nervous system, which can, in the worst case, cause his death, and in the best significant anatomical disorders. But this is not a positive diagnosis at all - it's dooming a child to a weak mental development and chronic permanent illnesses. Also, cigarette smoke causes problems with the baby's lungs. The baby can experience attacks of suffocation or lack of oxygen for the normal functioning of the lungs. With age, this all can develop into chronic asthma. In short, no one can give an exact answer to the question: for how many years, months, days or even hours, a woman who smoked a cigarette, shortens the life of her child?
Alcohol and its consequences. For most women who are prone to alcohol, babies are born with various diseases of the cardiovascular system. Failures in the work of the heart, disorders of the central nervous system. These babies, as a rule, constantly cry, have a noticeably weak grasping reflex, poor appetite and unhealthy face. With a congenital disease of the central nervous system, the child remains disabled for life. Even, sometimes, there are cases when the parent immediately did not notice the deviations related to the health of his child, but with age, it usually becomes very visible. Mental development of the child is slowed down at the level of a kindergarten. In the future, it becomes very difficult for these children to live. These children are completely devoid of logical thinking, they are closed and unsociable.
Alcohol, which enters the body of a pregnant mother, is very quickly absorbed into the blood and through the placenta gets to the fetus. Accordingly, if the mother drinks, then, potentially, with her, while in her womb, her baby also drinks. The child has a considerable time in the alcoholic mass and this is quite enough that his nervous system would experience a shock state. This process occurs absolutely at all times of a woman's pregnancy. The fruit, being in the process of constant growth and development, does this at the moment of interaction with alcohol. This all affects the small mass of the newborn's body. Possible even cases of death of the child during childbirth.
Abuse of alcohol during pregnancy is fraught with a huge loss of vitamin from the mother's body, which harms not only the health of the baby, but also the normal state of health of his mother. Also, such women are much more likely to suffer from toxicosis and aggravation of various chronic diseases during childbearing.
Therefore, the woman, first of all, should realize the full threat of the deed, and stop in time. Her family should help her in this by trying to explain all the hopelessness of the consequences for her and her child and, in the end, inspire her that she should not be the "killer" of her child, who has not yet seen the white light. Every woman has motherly feelings and at this moment they will not stand aside. The main thing will reach her mind and, first of all, give her the very opportunity to realize what she is doing.
If you can not resist, then from these temptations themselves, then surely protect yourself and your social circle, at least for the period of pregnancy, from people who take alcohol and smoke. Think about what's more important for you, to drink a glass of wine and smoke a cigarette or the little life that has not yet seen light inside you.
If you do not want health problems for you and your baby, then, during pregnancy, it is worth giving up, strong alcoholic beverages: cognacs, liqueurs, vodka, a variety of cocktails, rum, whiskey and even low-alcohol drinks. Here it should be understood that for a woman in the position, there is absolutely safe dose of the beverage containing alcohol at its core. And, especially whiter, without the consequences of a cigarette smoked. So here it is necessary to apply common sense and to think about at times, such irreversible consequences.
