Question

Explain why a woman who is pregnant should avoid alcohol and drugs. What effect do these substances have on the body systems of the fetus?

Answer 1

Consuming alcohol, and drugs during a pregnancy is very dangerous for the unborn baby.

Consuming alcohol, and drugs will harm the unborn baby in many ways which may include:

1) Stillborn births. A stillborn birth is where a fetus passes away in the womb, and the mother gives birth to the baby.

2) Clef pallets.

3) Having a premature baby.

Those are some of the few effects that alcohol, and drugs have on an unborn fetus.

I hope this helps you!
