Sometimes we say, it's just
alcohol. A little alcohol won't hurt nobody. I would love for you to read the
below carefully, one way or the other, I hope you draw inspiration from it or I
hope someone you love can draw inspiration from it:
This is a depiction of just how physically tiny
the fetal heart is in the early stages of development (literally no bigger than
our nail beds!). Congenital heart defects arise during embryogenesis -
typically during the 3rd to 8th weeks of pregnancy. It is very common for a
woman to be unaware of her pregnancy during this initial 8 week window. As a large number of adults
in the US consume alcohol at least once a week, it is no coincidence that the
most common congenital heart defect (ventricular septal defect)
is associated
with fetal alcohol syndrome. When a pregnant woman consumes alcohol, it enters
her bloodstream & reaches her developing fetus by crossing the placenta.
This results in a higher blood alcohol concentration in the developing baby in comparison
to the mother’s body - primarily due to the fact that a fetus metabolizes
alcohol slower than an adult does.This alcohol interferes with
the delivery of oxygen & optimal nutrients to the baby's developing tissues
& organs, including the brain & heart. This phenomenon is believed to
contribute to the impairments seen in the facial features, organs, bones, &
central nervous system of infants who suffer from fetal alcohol syndrome. For
this reason, physicians believe it is important to practice safe sex & also
recommend no alcohol intake for a woman who is trying to become pregnant! Drink
responsibly this Saturday night ladies & gentlemen!
