Planning for a baby? Why both men and women should consider quitting alcohol before and during pregnancy

Retrieved on:

In the UK, the chief medical officer’s drinking guidelines recommend that women should abstain from alcohol consumption during pregnancy.

Key Points: 
  • In the UK, the chief medical officer’s drinking guidelines recommend that women should abstain from alcohol consumption during pregnancy.
  • This is because it’s known to increase the risk of miscarriage and foetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD).
  • But evidence from large surveys shows that not all women stop drinking before pregnancy – whether the pregnancy was intended or not.
  • Indeed, alcohol can affect sperm DNA, in some cases reducing fertility and the potential to conceive.

Why stop drinking?

    • This helps to reduce the risk of potential negative outcomes for the baby such as congenital heart disease.
    • It also has benefits for the expectant parents, such as better sleep quality, increased energy, and enhanced concentration levels.
    • Indeed, men don’t usually go to clinics to get information about preconception health, as this is usually left to the woman.

Quit together

    • This needs to change because, as the research shows, a baby’s health is influenced by both mum and dad.
    • So if you are considering trying for a baby, now could be the time for both partners to set new goals and cut down on drinking together.
    • And if you’re concerned about the amount you drink, or are dependent on alcohol, you should get professional advice and support on cutting down safely.

Breaking Research That Could Improve Cardiac Care for Children Published in AACC's The Journal of Applied Laboratory Medicine

Published in AACC's The Journal of Applied Laboratory Medicine, these findings are crucial to advancing diagnosis and treatment of heart conditions in children.

Key Points: 
  • Published in AACC's The Journal of Applied Laboratory Medicine, these findings are crucial to advancing diagnosis and treatment of heart conditions in children.
  • View the full study here: https://doi.org/10.1093/jalm/jfad012
    Many pediatric hospitals have started to use two cardiac tests known as high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) and N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP).
  • A major limitation of these tests in children, however, is that precise pediatric reference intervals for hs-cTn and NT-proBNP have not been determined yet.
  • They are essential for interpreting test results accurately, and without them, children are at risk for misdiagnosis and inappropriate or even harmful medical care.
