Dads-to-be should stop drinking 6 months before conception for baby's heart health, study says

Alcohol consumption during pregnancy has long been linked to congenital defects and developmental problems in newborns. Now a new study has found a link between a baby's congenital heart defects and their prospective parents' drinking before conception.

. If the prospective dads were binge drinkers, which was defined as downing five or more drinks per session, there was a 52% higher likelihood their baby would have a congenital heart defect.Previous research has shown that alcohol exposure changes the DNA in developing sperm and changes sperm activity, although the underlying mechanisms are not yet understood.

Birth rate would dramatically decrease

There’s tons of research on this, it’s about time it got made public. Pre conception care is BOTH parents to be.

The real numbers are that slightly less than 1% of babies are born with heart defects . Which means that the risk increases to about 1.4%. Of these babies about 1/3 are serious defects.

The reason babies are born with congenital heart disease is 50%, either they will have it or they won’t.
