Dear Posh bloggers, First off, I would like to send a big apology for being away for some time now. In absence I did some soul searching and research and my findings lead me to this.
Based on figures released from the Department of Health, one in 100 babies is born with disorders related to alcohol. In the past three years, a 50 per cent increase in babies with Foetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) has been observed, while 313 babies suffering damage from alcohol exposure between 2012 and 2013 were born. With all this and more the uk government advocates of a new law to make drinking alcohol while pregnant a crime so as to reduce the rate of foetal alcohol syndrome. Following a landmark test case, pregnant women who drink alcohol may face criminal charges. The court of appeals in the uk is set to hear the case of a six year old girl who was treated as a crime victim because she currently has brain damage due to the expose to alcohol while inside her mother’s womb. According to report, the mother was aware of what alcohol could do to her on born child.
It's very easy to say that they shouldn't get pregnant, but accidents happen, condoms split, the pill fails. We make excuses like in the moment of passion people don’t think. Yes mistakes happen; condoms aren’t 100% but what about contraceptives, watching your calendar. Some ladies don’t even know when they are ovulating and how serious sexually transmitted diseases are. Which brings me to the legalising of abortion. How is it logical for abortion to be legal, but for wilful neglecting the health of your unborn child to be legal? But would you rather have a new born laying on the streets dead or helpless just because he/she was unwanted? And those who do this act, why not avoid things like unwanted pregnancies and Hiv by simply wearing a condom. I think we should do more than just point fingers. How about creating more awareness and educating the ignorant. It starts with you. An education is way overdue because in the regrettable absence of breeding licences there were way too many uneducated chavs out there spitting out kids like popcorn with no clue as to what’s right and wrong and then dumping them.
Did you know that a new born baby should be nursed eight to 12 times per day for about the first month? If you feel like you're feeding your little one more often than someone you know whose baby is formula fed, you might be. Why? Because breast milk digests easier than formula, which means it moves through your baby's digestive system faster and, therefore, makes your baby hungry more often. How do we expect a woman who lives on the streets and is ignorant and unaware for the dangers attached with pregnancy to feed her unborn child properly and be germ free?
During the period pregnancy, your body goes through remarkable changes as your baby grows and develops. Morning sickness, fatigue, swollen ankles, breast tenderness, vaginal and breast secretions, and joint pain are all common and perfectly normal.....CHANGES
For expecting couples the extra food you eat shouldn't just be empty calories — it should provide the nutrients your growing baby needs. For example, calcium helps make and keep bones and teeth strong. While you're pregnant, you still need calcium for your body, plus extra calcium for your developing baby....NUTRIENTS
As a new mother you might not know that when you are through the first trimester! it’s time to relax, but on the other, you need to be really vigilant about germs. You’re more susceptible to colds and viruses now, since your body’s immune system is naturally suppressed to prevent your body from rejecting your baby. Wash your hands with anti-bacterial soap, and make sure to wash the cuticles and fingernails too. Avoid sick people, don’t share food or utensils, and be careful with food preparation....GERMS
Every once in a while we like to take a glass of wine and tell ourselves that it is for easy digestion which is good but when we are expecting a baby its best avoided. Because If you want to guarantee safety and you want to guarantee no risk then no alcohol is the safest route. Let’s try not deceiving ourselves for no amount of alcohol consumption should be considered safe during pregnancy...NO 2 ALCOHOL
Where do you draw the line over a woman's behaviour during pregnancy? The government should put more energy into proper "life" education policies in schools and colleges and less interfering in private lives"?... QUESTION
