Protect Your Baby from Toxins 
Are you pregnant or know someone who is? Researchers are widely recognizing correlations between exposure to toxins and birth abnormalities, according to the Children's Health Environmental Coalition. Specifically, researchers are recognizing links between the following:
While mothers may not feel the full effects of these toxins themselves, they readily pass the toxins onto their babies through the placenta. The ratio of toxins per body weight is minimal for the mother, but extremely dangerous to the developing baby, whose organs, nervous system, brain, heart, and lungs are still maturing. Case in point: Fifty years ago in Iraq, mercury-treated seed grain intended for crops was instead consumed by the poor, among them many pregnant mothers. While the mercury had just marginal effects on the mothers, the effects on their babies included cerebral palsy, abnormal reflexes, irritability, and microcephaly (small head sizes). You can do a number of things to protect your baby from these toxins:
Most companies using chemicals and other toxins are not required to undergo safety testing of their chemicals - especially not safety tests for developing babies. This is why it is essential to take extra care and realize that what may not be dangerous to you, may be dangerous to the developing baby inside of you.
