Pregnancy Hazards

Pregnancy is something that should be enjoyed but it is also a very crucial time for the mother and the baby. There are a few things that a mother should avoid during pregnancy. Firstly, smoking should be avoided to ensure the health of the baby. Other than that, raw eggs should also be avoided in case of contracting salmonella. Also, the mother should stay away from raw and uncooked food just to be safe because they carry a higher risk of toxoplasmosis which sometimes can cause birth defects. Lastly, the mother should not take any alcoholic beverages in the first three months of pregnancy and if possible, stay away from all alcoholic beverages during the whole duration of pregnancy.
