10 Risk Factors that Every Pregnant Woman Should be
Aware of
Criss White
Prenatal Care - Regular doctor visits are important to your
baby's development. The body undergoes many changes during
pregnancy. Some side effects may be completely normal, whereas
other may not. Regular monitoring by a professional will help
ensure that your baby will be born healthy.
Multiple sex partners - Multiple sex partners can increase risk
of STD's, which in turn may lead to birth and pregnancy
complications, like low birth weight or premature birth.
Exposure to chemicals - During pregnancy, reduce exposure to
unnatural chemicals, particularly pesticides in food. Many people
now eat organic produce, which is grown without chemicals. The
simplest precaution to take before consuming vegetables or fruits
is to wash them thoroughly. Also, removing the outer surface of
vegetables can be helpful since most pesticides will rest on the
outside of the vegetable or fruit.
Other factors - Many other factors can affect fetal development,
including heart disease, the mother's age (before 15 years and
after 35 years is riskier), asthma, excessive stress or
depression, diseases, and bleeding. Consult your physician if you
are affected by any of these conditions.
