Activities during Pregnancy that can cause Birth Defects
Taking in medication while pregnant can affect the baby’s health while in the uterus. This will affect the baby’s development which may in turn result to a birth defect. This is because some medicine may contain components that harmful to the baby’s development, like stop the proper development of the lungs for example.
In this example, if the lungs will not develop properly, it will cause respiratory related problems and sometimes heart related problems as well. Therefore it is better to not take any medication unless your doctor certifies that it will not harm your baby.
Other activities include smoking, over indulgence to alcohol and using drugs for the same reason stated above. These materials contain components that will harm the baby’s health while in the womb. For this, it is important for expectant mothers to stay away from these activities while they are pregnant.

How to Prevent Birth Defects
Knowledge is the key to prevention. It is important to make the public aware what certain activities that will harm their baby’s health. There are many ways that concerned people can spread what they have to say. Because of today’s technology advancement, it is easier for them to reach far, far places.
People can post information about this in forums or hold general assemblies so that they spread the world to make people more aware that situations like this could be prevented. If the public knows what happens if they continue a certain habit while they are pregnant, they might be more willing to stop the habits that they have even if it’s only for the duration of the pregnancy.
Knowledge can also be gained by consulting with medical professionals so it is beneficial for both the mother and child to have check-ups on the duration of the pregnancy to keep track of the baby’s health. This will also help them detect problems early on while it can still be cured.
