  • It is good that you know about the bad effects of alcohol during pregnancy and most of the drugs, including tobacco and alcohol which passes from your bloodstream into the baby and the baby gets what you get. Because your baby is small and still developing it can't handle drugs as easily or as quickly as you can.

  • Drugs such as cocaine may affect the blood supply to the fetus, thus retards the growth. Drugs may have many direct teratogenic (causing malformations), and moreover, drugs may cause deterioration in the health and general well-being of the mother, thus adversely affecting the fetus.
