Sometimes it happens that during any celebration a pregnant woman faces a choice: whether she should drink a glass of champagne or still refrain, preferring soft drinks. Let's see if it's possible to drink champagne during pregnancy, and how this is fraught.
In this issue, opinions were divided into two almost equal camps, someone claims that a glass of champagne will not do any harm, and someone is categorically against the use of any alcoholic beverages during pregnancy. And someone and does say that mothers who drink alcohol systematically, are born exceptionally healthy children - and will be wrong. After all, everything has its consequences. And in such a business as pregnancy, you can not rely on luck and luck.
Can or can not?
No doctor, to whom you ask this question, will not vouch for one hundred percent: it is possible for pregnant women to drink champagne or not. And sometimes I do! Especially on New Year's Eve. Champagne is a kind of wine, and wine is sometimes recommended for pregnant women (in very, very moderate amounts to increase hemoglobin in the blood). But to drink natural grape wine is one thing, but it's quite another to sip champagne. Pregnant you can drink champagne in very moderate doses. Of course, if you lightly sip, after drinking a glass of champagne during pregnancy, or even half-gloved, it does not hurt either you or your child. But from a large amount of drunk champagne, you can expect any consequences, either directly within a few hours after its adoption (gases), and after the birth of a child ...
Champagne and pregnancy - cons
First, remember that no matter how you would like, you should never drink champagne to pregnant women in the first two trimester of pregnancy. During this period the child's organs develop, and alcohol can affect this process very unfavorably. Secondly, any alcohol contains ethanol, what kind of danger it presents for a pregnant woman and her future child, we'll look in more detail:
- alcohol reduces the immunity of the mother and resistance to colds;
- very quickly penetrates into cells;
- passes through the placenta;
- has a teratogenic effect on the fetus (an action that leads to a violation of the development of the fetus);
- affects the physical and mental development of the unborn child.
Surely, after seeing all of the above, every woman who wondered if champagne can be pregnant or not, drank sharply to consume any alcohol. However, if you drank alcohol while pregnant, but without knowing it, do not panic. This development of events is strictly individual for each woman. Children of chronic alcoholics often suffer from alcoholic syndrome - congenital mental retardation. These kids have reduced social adaptation, it is harder for them to get acquainted with the world around them, to study at school and, accordingly, to orient themselves in life. If you used alcohol quite often before pregnancy, then after conception you should refrain from drinking alcohol in any doses. Such women are categorically forbidden from drinking. But, unfortunately, not every woman who has got used to alcohol, is ready to refuse from it categorically for 9 months, and also for term of feeding by a breast when to drink alcoholic drinks also it is impossible. "Dry law" is not as simple as it seems from the outside. But here you have to decide what is more important for you - a healthy child and his happy childhood or strong drinks.
There is always an alternative
To drink champagne in position is really not the best idea. If you really want to drink something alcoholic, replace champagne with red dry wine, and if you want something "with gazikami", then in any store you will find children's champagne. You are the future mommy! So, celebrate the New Year or birthday with your future child with delicious champagne. A very good option. But everyone will be not only happy, but also healthy. Such champagne is made on the basis of ordinary lemonade and, having drunk it, you do not have to blame yourself for incontinence and fear for the health of your future baby!
