Most people know that drinking alcohol during pregnancy can be harmful to the developing child. A friend of yours is pregnant, a
nd has been drinking alcohol during her pregnancy. You want to talk to her about the consequences that her baby could face because of her consumption of alcohol. What will you say to your friend to convince her to stop drinking during pregnancy?
The reason that no alcohol is considered safe during pregnancy is because of the risk of fetal alcohol syndrome. Fetal alcohol syndrome occurs when the pregnant mother drinks excessive amounts of alcohol. The alcohol passes through the placenta and into the baby's blood stream.
I would do my research to build up support for my point. When taking this concern to them, you need to make it seem like a dire situation, because it is. You need to make your friend feel the same amount, if not then more concern about their consumption of alcohol.
