The Prenatal Environment and Hazards to Healthy Prenatal Development.

As a mammal we give birth to live children rather than laying an egg part of the reason the child develops inside the mother is to protect it from being harmed by the external environment. 

Up until the 1960s it was believed that the placenta acted as a filter to help keep anything unwanted or harmful from affecting the baby. 

We now know that potentially harmful substances can cross the placcenta and be transferred to the developing child from the mother. 

Prenatal development can be slowed birth defects or death of the unborn child can occur. 

Maternal diseases and environmental concerns are also factors that can harm prenatal development. 

Proper prenatal care from a health care provider can greatly reduce the risk of hazards to the prenatal environment. 

Before the 1960s it was believed that the placenta affected the developing child from harmful substances. 

The common use of the prescription drug thalidomide for morning sickness during pregnancy changed this idea.
