Alcohol and Pregnancy
Alcohol is harmful for everyone. For even more so to the fetus. Regular alcohol consumption can cause serious harm to the fetus and malformation. Therefore it is recommended not to drink alcohol.
No alcohol during pregnancy
Moms, do not forget. If you’re frustrated, especially in a time of celebration, you can afford, occasionally, a glass of wine or a glass of champagne.
Alcohol and the fetus
Tolerate the fact that while alcohol is not an excuse, the fetus does not tolerate it! Scientific and biologically, it has been shown that congenital malformations are mainly due to frequent alcohol absorption. Therefore, during pregnancy should avoid snacks with friends and glasses of wine at meals.
In particular, the principle, toxicity to the baby is maximum. Alcohol also causes premature births or low weight baby. And what is worse, if you drink too much, you suffer an abortion.
And if your baby is lucky not to suffer many problems in childbirth, alcohol to be absorbed in your stomach may make you nervous or hyperactive behavior.
The placenta does not protect
Make no mistake. The placenta is no protection for the fetus or a barrier that protects against excess. Alcohol easily crosses the placenta and thin ethanol concentration in amniotic fluid reaches the same level as in the blood. This amount is too high for the featherweight of a baby in the training process. In addition, his liver and kidneys are not yet fully formed, making it impossible to remove the alcohol. Be aware of these risks.
Fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS)
If you limit your consumption of alcohol during pregnancy, your baby will have serious problems. A baby born with FAS may have growth retardation, cardiac abnormalities and brain, facial deformities or losses in the motor system. These risks can not be taken lightly, because although there are some treatments fail or delay to repair the back.
When a child has any of these problems to a lesser degree, speaks of the Effect of Alcohol on elFeto (EAF). These problems appear several years after birth, at school, behavior problems and learning difficulties and concentration.
When you have just discovered your pregnancy
Consult a doctor promptly if they consumed alcohol before you knew you were pregnant. There is danger if the daily amount absorbed is greater than a pint of wine and a snack, more than 3 / 4 liter of wine and half a beer. The consequences can be dire. In this case, it is advisable to completely stop consumption or psychological help.
