In the early weeks of pregnancy, the placenta is only forming and the baby supported by the yolk sack right? So my question is, how do things reach the baby during this phase? So obviously the advice not to drink for example, how does the alcohol get to the baby before the placenta takes over?!
I’m not planning on drinking, I don’t really drink anyway.. I’m actually feeling a bit torn about getting my hair dyed tomorrow. But then I was wondering how any chemicals would even pass to baby at 5/6 weeks pregnant..
Wondered if there was any medically minded out there who knows more about biology than me!
