We must provide babies and youngsters with birth defects with the most advanced facilities to alleviate much of the discomforts resulting from these trabedies. In its prenatal care literature, of The National Foundation-Marc- h Dimes, which entered the field of birth defects after the conquest of polio, warns all women of childbearing age against home remedies, and borrowing pills from friends and relatives. Even prescription drugs normally taken without 111 effect should be by a physician when pregnancy is a possibility. No woman, of course, should refuse to take medicine which her doctor considers essential to her over-a- ll health. Indeed, failure to take needed medication may be as dangerous to a developing fetus as random If an expectant mother is under the care of more than one specialist, each doctor should know what has been prescribed by the other since some chemicals of relatively low risk by themselves may be hazardous in combination with n. 1.

So are vitamins in excesssive doses, nose drops and many other medicines. Some experts fear that overemphasis on the dramatically dangerous drugs overshadows a far more important fact until scientists understand more clearly how chemicals affect the child in the womb, all drugs are suspect. One reason for Increased suspicion of all drugs is the relatively recent medical awareness that the womb is not a perfectly safe haven. Physicians once thought it to be completely protected by the placenta, preventing harmful agents from being passed by the mother to the unborn child. Today, doctors who used to speak confidently of the placental barrier as an Impervious, natural protective agent, know that the theory and the barrier are full of holes. Many people are surprised that such things as vitamins are considered drugs. But vitamins are chemicals. Too much vitamin K, for example, sometimes causes jaundice which can damage an unborn childs central nervous system. Too much vitamin D during pregnancy can cause excess calcium in the baby, a condition which may be related to defects of the heart and bones as well as to mental retardation. Using nose drops is not generally recognized as "taking drugs. Yet nose drops which are powerful enough to contract the blood vessels of the nose may also be strong enough to contract the blood vessels of the placenta and placental bed, reducing the oxygen and nutrition the fetus receives. Before we take or freely prescribe any chemical, new or old, It behooves all of us doctors, laymen, and, especially potential parents to consider first what the ultimate cost might be to future Dr. Virginia Apgar, generations, for medical attairs of The National Foundation-Marc- h of Dimes, points out. er Instructions in 22 areas will to 4 pm.
