to speak confidently of the
“placental barrier” as an im-
pervious, natural protective
agent, know that the theory
and the barrier are full of
holes.
In its prenatal care litera-
ture, The National Founda-
tion-March of Dimes, which
entered the field of birth de-
fects after the conquest of
polio, warns all women of
childbearing age against self-
medication, home remedies,
and “borrowing” pills from
friends and relatives.
Even prescription drugs
normally taken without ill ef-
fect should be re-evaluated 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-
all health. Indeed, failure to
|take needed medication may
be as dangerous to a develop-
ing fetus as random self-med-
ication.
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

• hazardous in combination with
other drugs. Taking exactly
the prescribed amount is also
important — twice what the
doctor orders does not do
twice as much good.
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
child's central nervous system.
Too much vitamin D during
pregnancy can cause excess
calcium in the baby, a con-
dition which may be related
to defects of the heart and
bones as well as to mental re-
tardation.
Using nose drops is not gen-
erally 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.
Many drugs, whether they
have been available for a long
time or are new developments,
, have great merit as aids to
human health and comfort,
Dr. Apgar admits.
“But before we take or
freely prescribe any chemical,
new or old, it behoove* all of
u*—doctors, laymen and, es-
' pecially potential parents—to
, consider first what the ulti-
mate cost might be to future
generations "

more clearly how chemicals
affect the child in the womb,
all drugs are suspect.
A “terminology gap” in the
popular definition of drugs has
clouded this important point,
according to Dr. Virginia Ap- vember 18, 1889, in Shelby-
gar, vice president for medical
affairs of The National Foun-
dation-March of Dimes.
“The word ‘drugs’ has come
to mean only the addicting
narcotics and barbiturates, or
ville, Tenn., and passed away
December 19 in the De Leon
Hospital at the age of 79
years, one month and one
the mind-expanding marijua- day. He was a member of
na, L8D and ‘speed.’ But the United Methodist
truth is that drugs include the
whole range of chemicals hu-
man L_i „
form of pills, powders, cap-
by absorption through
skin,” Dr. Apgar says.
One reason for increased
suspicion of all drugs is the
relatively recent 1—
awareness that the womb is
not a perfectly safe haven.
Physicians once thought it to
be completely protected by the
placenta, preventing harmful Leon Cemetery with Nabors
agents from being passed by
the mother to the unborn Fun€ral Home in charge of
child. Today, doctors who used arrangements.
