After Diwali, Delhi's air pollution has reached a very dangerous level. The effect of increasing Air Quality Index (AQI) is now visible on people's health. This situation has become even more dangerous, especially for pregnant women and their unborn children. Doctors say that pregnant women should not go out of the house in this poisonous air at this time. Especially in the initial and last months of pregnancy, it is better to stay at home. Let us know how this pollution can become a danger for pregnant women and their children.
Effect of pollution on pregnancy
According to experts, these days Delhi's air is laden with heavy metals and harmful elements, which can reach the unborn baby through the mother's breath. These toxic particles can affect the baby's heart, brain and lungs. It is being said that this toxic air can harm the unborn baby just as if he is exposed to the smoke of 100 cigarettes before birth.
Dangers for pregnant women and unborn babies
Some research has revealed that pollution can increase the risk of premature delivery and low birth weight for pregnant women. This can weaken the immune system of the child after birth and he may be unable to fight diseases. Low birth weight can lead to conditions like intrauterine growth restriction, which affects the development of the child and can cause many health problems after birth.
In recent research, it was found that pollution particles were present even in a three-month-old fetus. Harmful particles like PM 2.5 were found in the liver, lungs and brain of the fetus, which are extremely harmful for the development of the child.

Negative effects on fertility Increased risk of miscarriage Difficulties in conceiving Risk of premature delivery Risk of heart failure in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy Low live birth rate in IVF Problems related to the lungs and heart of the baby Poor development of the baby’s brain Low birth weight
