Some pregnant women who have been in the habit of taking alcoholic drinks before conception say it is difficult for them to quit the act during pregnancy despite its possible health risks to their unborn babies.
pregnant women residents in Lagos State have said that abstaining from alcoholic drinks during pregnancy is difficult for them having been so used to it before conception.
Some of the pregnant women told PUNCH HealthWise that they have slightly reduced the quantity of alcoholic drinks they consume but noted that they still consume their favourite brands of alcoholic drinks whenever they want to enjoy themselves. Sharing her experience with PUNCH HealthWise, the Imo State Indigene said, “In my two previous pregnancies, I was taking my bottles of beer regularly although I was somehow afraid of the impact on my unborn baby because of what I was hearing.“My doctor warned me about the danger of taking alcohol including my husband’s sister. But sometimes, I can’t help it and my husband is not helping matters. He is the type that drinks a lot also.
“My parents operate a beer parlor in Owerri. So, when I was growing up, I assisted them in the business and the business was largely patronised by men who enjoy drinking.
