Comments on: What I Wish I’d Known About Alcohol & Pregnancy https://awhonnconnections.org/2015/09/09/what-i-wish-id-known-about-alcohol-pregnancy/ Where nurses and families unite Sun, 11 Sep 2016 05:11:35 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.3 By: nightingale1221 https://awhonnconnections.org/2015/09/09/what-i-wish-id-known-about-alcohol-pregnancy/comment-page-1/#comment-1018 Sun, 11 Sep 2016 05:11:35 +0000 https://awhonn.wordpress.com/?p=702#comment-1018 Heroin use and abuse of prescription narcotics can have some serious lasting effects that shouldn’t be discounted. I work as a Labor and Delivery nurse and also cross over to our Special Care Nursery. These babies spend a long time in the hospital and are often still displaying neurological symptoms on discharge that may never resolve. I agree that alcohol should never be consumed during pregnancy, but the way the statement reads at the end of the article it almost sounds like a person should choose heroin addiction over alcohol. Definitely not a good plan…those babies are often born prefer with a host of their own issues.

Many do not realize that even light drinking also may harm their developing baby. Drinking alcohol during pregnancy can cause a wide range of physical and mental effects on baby. We need better education and awareness about this. We need rehab centres like Canada Drug rehab which is an alcohol rehabilitation centre in Vancouver and also many tougher systems to stop this.
