Did you know that if you are pregnant and you smoke or drink you run the chance of birth defects or even worse killing your child? In High School my teacher showed us the effects of drinking while you are pregnant. We put whole raw eggs into mason jars that had had different alcohol levels in them. You could see the change and deformation of the egg which would show you how it affects the baby. Every one drink to you would be three drinks to your baby. If you smoke while you are with child a lot of the times your baby will be born with weak lungs. Sometimes when babies are born they don’t get to go home right away they have to stay at the hospital in the incubators because they can’t breathe on their own. The sad thing is many women know the effects that smoking and drinking does to the child and they still choose to continue with their addiction. I don’t see how anyone could be that selfish to take that kind of a risk with their future baby.
