Is beer possible during pregnancy

Let's figure out what beer is? This, of course, is hops, malt, but besides this, there are also cobalt salts, harmful additives, and alcohol. In general, the consumption of any alcoholic beverage in the first three months is very dangerous and strictly contraindicated.

Beer is a favorite alcohol among young people, and not only guys, but also among girls. And if you drink it constantly, then beer is addictive, from which you want to take a foamy drink more and more often.

Experts are strictly against a woman in a position to drink beer. Today it is very difficult to find real beer, where there will be no harmful additives, and it will be useful in small quantities. For expectant mothers, an exception can be made if you are sure that the foamy drink is of high quality, without impurities. Then you can afford a glass, but extremely rarely, as an exception, and best of all take home beer and natural, and use only with the permission of the doctor. Better yet, take the minimum dose of the drink - a couple of sips. You can replace the beer with fresh carrot... Experts have proven that you want beer with a lack of vitamin B.

Non-alcoholic beer during pregnancy

On store shelves, you can find not only alcoholic beer, but also a non-alcoholic version of the foamy drink. Looking at it, most women assume that it is useful and there will be no harm from its use, because there is no alcohol in it.

In fact, alcohol is present in it, albeit in small quantities. But in addition to it, there are chemical impurities and additives in the non-alcoholic version of beer, which is very harmful for both the mother and the unborn baby. It is believed to be even more harmful to the body than alcoholic beer. Therefore, pregnant women are categorically prohibited from it.

The harm of beer during pregnancy

It is believed that alcohol during pregnancy enters the fetus through the placenta, which in turn can lead to oxygen starvation of the baby. There is a delay in its development, which often leads to various pathologies of the brain and respiratory activity. If you drink beer in early pregnancy, the threat of miscarriage is quite likely, and in the late period - early childbirth.

The consumption of a foamy drink can lead to kidney disease in the expectant mother, from this factor, kidney problems can develop in the unborn baby.

In addition to the above, the following problems may develop with alcohol consumption:

• heart diseases;
• limb pathology;
• delay in the development and growth of a small organism;
• vascular damage;
• craniofacial abnormalities;
• kidney disease;
• fetal alcohol syndrome, with it there is an abnormal development of the skull, there are no grasping reflexes, constant irritability;
• mental and physical retardation of the baby.

With alcohol syndrome, a child often has distinctive features: squint, small underdeveloped head, cleft palate, small upper lip. Such children sleep poorly and little, eat little and without much appetite.

With frequent use of the drink in the first months of pregnancy, this can lead to alcohol syndrome and addiction, when your hands are shaking and you want to tip a bottle or two of beer into yourself right in the morning. In addition, beer provokes an increase in appetite, which will have a negative effect on the figure of a woman, especially one who dreams of a slim figure after giving birth.
