Women are bringing their habits in alcohol consumption from the pregnancy also to the time after the delivery.The smokers drank alcoholic drinks significantly more often than non smoking women.Men did not change significantly their smoking habits neither during the time of expecting the baby,nor after the delivery.The regular consumption of alcohol drinks significantly increased after the birth of the child on the groups of non smokers.The results can serve as appeal to special health workers providing the care for the mother and child, to pay increased attention to the most importnant primary preventive risks for the human reproduction-alcohol and smoking |
