Maternity leave from “good news to baby’s first Birthday !!!

    Working mothers undergo lot of stress. Physical and mental. Many times they do not get enough food and rest. Result? Working pregnant women have a very high number of abortions. Those who do not abort, have very high rates of pre term deliveries. Many of those who complete term have small seized babies due to intra uterine growth retardation caused by job induced starvation,stress,sleeplessness etc.Many of the pre term and IUGR babies are handicapped in some way or the other.
Some of them have delayed milestones, learning disabilities, deafness, visual problems,fits,etc.Then to care for such handicapped babies many women leave job and stay home. Had they taken adequate rest and food during pregnancy,these problems might have never occurred.

Lesson: For those who can,the mothers must be asked to go on leave on becoming pregnant.She should join back after the child is born and is one year old, or at least six months old

Just as all do not afford cardiac bypass, but it must be suggested when needed similarly all should be informed about the benefits of a pregnant mother’s staying home. Get a baby today. These are no baby days.Advice for the young people. While giving sex education to school & college students we always showed them live motile sperms under a microscope. We were shocked once to see that a fresh semen sample from a young donor had no sperms at all. India’s stastistics show that more and more couples are not having babies. Already every 10th to 15th couple has no baby. Because of pollution and many other factors the infertility is increasing.
So to all young people one must tell,” welcome your first child today, for one may never come tomorrow.”
