Fertility & Pregnancy, Health During Pregnancy

4 Things That You Might Not Know Can Affect Your Unborn Child in the Womb

There is no doubt that being pregnant can be one of a woman’s most exciting and anxious periods. During pregnancy, what you don’t ingest or expose your body to is just as crucial as what you do.

However, worrying excessively about every little thing you encounter might make for a protracted and unpleasant three trimesters. Several things, some more damaging than others, require you to pay extra attention while pregnant. Your healthcare provider will tell you what to avoid, reduce considerably, and carefully evaluate during pregnancy.

Here are some things that can affect your unborn baby:

OTC and Prescription Medicine

There are numerous medications that you shouldn’t use while pregnant. Even if it seems like a minor issue, discuss which OTC and prescription medications you can and cannot take with your doctor.

Due to their possible consequences on your unborn child, even common over-the-counter (OTC) medications available without a prescription may be prohibited during pregnancy. Some pharmaceutical drugs can harm the developing fetus. However, the kind of harm and level of damage varies depending on the medicine.

Tylenol Products – Linked to Autism Spectrum Disorder

Acetaminophen is among the most popular medications for pain and fever that pregnant women use. The substance, marketed under Tylenol, is typically considered safe during pregnancy. However, according to recent research, chronic use could seriously harm unborn infants.

Continuous acetaminophen usage may raise the incidence of both attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autistic spectrum disorder (ASD). Allegations that the manufacturers of Tylenol deliberately failed to inform the public of the possible risk linked with using their medicines while pregnant have been leveled against them.

You can file a Tylenol autism lawsuit if your child was exposed to large doses of Tylenol during pregnancy or has autism or ADHD. If you want to settle the case out of court, your child’s diagnosis and the level of exposure to Tylenol they had will both have an impact on the compensation.

Drinking and Tap Water

It’s also critical to remember that because water is in a bottle doesn’t mean it’s automatically safer. Even though bottled water may taste better, it complies with the exact EPA requirements as tap water.

Different studies indicate that chloroform, which results from the chlorine used to clean public water, increases the chance of miscarriage and can impair fetal growth. Doctors are also concerned about the possibility of pesticides and lead-contaminated water.

Artificial Sweeteners

The prenatal use of artificial sweeteners like stevioside and acesulfame-K is safe in moderation. However, a rare inherited condition may make the body unable to break down the substance phenylalanine in artificial sweeteners. In that scenario, you should avoid aspartame altogether because the condition could be passed down to your unborn child.

Saccharin, which is included in some foods and the tiny pink packets, can cross the placenta and remain in the tissue of the fetus. Additionally, the United States has outlawed the sweetener cyclamate over worries that it may have a link to cancer.

Flying

Flying is discouraged for women with specific medical issues, such as high blood pressure, blood clots, early labor, and other pregnancy complications. Otherwise, most healthy expectant mothers can travel up to a month before delivery. It’s best to remain near home after that in case you have to deliver.

It is advised that pregnant women avoid traveling by air to places with high altitudes, where disease outbreaks are present, or where specific travel vaccinations are advised. Always discuss any long-distance travel plans you may have with your doctor throughout your final trimester. If they give the go-ahead, inquire about the airlines’ policies surrounding flying while pregnant.

Avoid spending too much time thinking and fretting about which items are harmful during pregnancy. Use common sense whenever possible; if anything seems unsafe, wait until you’ve discussed it with your doctor.

Above all, adhere to the most crucial healthy pregnancy practices: eat well, get enough rest, and abstain from drugs, alcohol, and cigarettes. Doing so will help you maintain your health and that of your unborn child.
