I was just going through an article about what smoking after before and after conception can do to a baby's growth. It turns out that any sort of lifestyle disorders, especially smoking and drug abuse, can cause low birth-weight as well as many birth defects. A mother who leads the wrong lifestyle causes mental retardation, learning problems and several other lifelong disabilities in her babies. This is where I thought about what the pre-conception lifestyle has got to do with the growth of a baby. While there is no lack for nutrition and lifestyle advice these days, only few women are capable of following these simple lifestyle choices. Moreover, recent studies show that only 23 percent of women are showing evident positive changes in their lifestyle before pregnancy. Also, researchers say that unplanned pregnancies and general ignorance are the reasons for the unhealthy lifestyle and malnutrition. It seems to me that the competitive and hectic life these days are taking its toll on a woman's health. Alcohol, stress, anxiety, various prescription drugs, harmful chemicals in pesticides, exercise, nutrition; and even spousal abuse are some of the most common things that cause many lifestyle disorders for women. When it comes to pre-conception lifestyle and nutrition, almost all studies I have come across suggests that unplanned pregnancy is the main cause of general ignorance. This is why women must always follow certain healthy lifestyle guidelines even weeks or months before a planned pregnancy. Basically, it's the responsibility of a husband to make sure that everything's okay; but sometimes, that's not the case. So it's the whole family's fault if something happens. Still, it's not a matter of an individual's health, it's the matter of how we develop a future generation.
