In the uterus, the placenta and cord attaches from the mother to the fetus, delivering all nutrients directly from the mother's blood stream to the fetus. If the mother is on drugs or drinks alcohol, that also passes from the mother's blood stream to her fetus.

How does alcohol influence the baby in the womb?
When a pregnant woman drinks alcohol, so does her baby. Drinking may harm her developing baby. (Fetus) Alcohol passes from the mother's blood, into the babies blood. It can damage and affect the growth of the babies cells. Studies do not yet show that it is safe for a pregnant woman to drink even a small amount, as different babies react differently to even the tiniest bit of alcohol. Although the risk is higher with heavy alcohol use- any amount of alcohol may affect your developing baby. You may be able to prevent FASD (Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder) by not drinking at all when you are pregnant. Hope this helps. :)
