Partners can help with alcohol abstinence during pregnancy
Every year, thousands of babies develop severe physical and mental damage as a result of the alcohol intake of pregnant women already in the womb. Although many women are aware of the health risks, they can not keep their fingers off the alcohol. The partner can help you to do without.

Serious physical and mental damage
Although every year thousands of babies develop severe physical and mental damage while pregnant women are already in their mothers' wombs, many mothers are unaware of the fatal consequences of alcohol. Just a few months ago, a survey showed that only 44 percent of Germans know that expectant mothers who drink beer, wine or schnapps risk permanent damage to their child. But even some women who are aware of the dangers, it is difficult to abstain from alcohol during pregnancy.

Expectant fathers can help
Then, fathers-to-be can also help to make it easier for their partner to give up. This has the Federal Center for Health Education (BZgA) pointed out in a message from the news agency dpa. Pregnant women should never be asked by the men to drink alcohol. In addition, situations should be avoided that could lead to alcohol consumption. In addition, it is easier for some women, if her husband also waived. To compensate, the BZgA experts recommend drinking non-alcoholic cocktails together. If this results in men drinking less, they will do something good for their health as well - and their figure. Alcohol is still underestimated by most people. (Ad)
