Bad Egg Good Environment, Good Egg Bad Environment

Ninety-five percent of all births are uneventful. However, there are those situations where you have a good egg in a bad environment, meaning, you have a perfectly normal, viable egg that is fertilized and then introduced into a bad environment. This bad environment could be a mother that is drinking alcohol, possibly causing the fetus to be born with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. On the other hand, it could be a mother that is addicted to drugs and gets pregnant. A bad environment could also be a mother that is mal-nourished, one who smokes, or mistreats her body in any way. The mother exposes her baby to all the elements that she exposes herself to when she is pregnant. All of these things can cause birth defects, premature birth, baby being born with an addiction, and complications for the child when he/she is born or even throughout his/her life. This can also be passed from a female baby to her children if a mother is mal-nourished, it can cause her baby to be born with less neurons which could be then passed to the female baby’s children.

There is also the bad egg good environment pregnancies. When a female is born, she is born with all of the eggs she will ever have. When a female reaches the age of around thirty-five, the risk of a bad egg being fertilized is much greater than when she was in her twenties. No matter how well a mother takes care of her body, she is still at a much higher risk of giving birth to a child with birth defects such as down-syndrome when she reaches age thirty-five or higher. There are greater risks of the egg being damaged, or missing a chromosome causing yet again, the baby to be born with some form of birth defect.
