A new study was published in the Journal of Alcoholism which has revealed that if women take alcohol during or after the pregnancy, they have a bad effect on their health. According to the researchers, it is commonly seen that after marriage and after becoming a parent, people adjust according to their situation.

But this research focuses on women who have become new mothers and they also consume alcohol after pregnancy. For research, the team took 456 pregnant women of 13-42 years in the Urban Pre-Natal Clinic and asked them questions like how much alcohol was consumed by them during pregnancy? How much alcohol was taken at the time of delivery?

How much quantity of alcohol was taken by the child 6, 10, 14 and 16 years? The results of the research showed that there is a greater risk to the health of women, who have been drinking alcohol since the time they were born and after 16 years of age. Not only this, such women are risking their lives.

Researchers say that these results will help Health Experts to target women who cross the National Guidelines and also take alcohol during pregnancy. But health advise is given that women avoid drinks for at least 1 week after the delivery.
