What
Should
be Done
Before
Pregnancy?
Before any pregnancy, one should
make sure
that there
is
immunity
against
German measles because
contracting this during pregnancy may
result in serious fetal
defects.
Usually,
if
there are
no
antibodies
against
German measles in
the
blood, the
doctor
would give
you the
vaccine
required. However, as blood tests take
time, one should be
well
prepared
in
time. lf one
is
still
having therapy for
diseases
like
diabetes or epilepsy,
etc.,
the obstetrician should be informed as
he may decide to
change the
medica-
tions to
avoid
affecting
the
foetus (some
drugs cross
the
placenta
bul
others do
not).
lf
one
has
hereditary diseases like
heemophilia
or cystic
fibrosis, etc.,
be
sure
to consult relevant professionals
to
estimate the chance
of
transmitting
to the
offspring.
lf
one works in
an
environment
with
chemicals
or
su
bstantial
radiation, before pregnancy
is
planned,
it may
well
be advisable
to
request
an
allernative
work
environment.
lf
one wishes
to
lose
weight, do it before pregnancy,
other-
wise
the
nutrition of the foetus may be
affected. Even kicking
the habit
of
smoking or drinking should
be done
before pregnancy. Lastly,
be
aware that
Down
Syndrome is
more commonly
found in pregnancies occurring over 35
years
of age.
