anything the mother puts into her body goes to the baby in some form as nutrition. If you eat a lot of healthy foods and drink healthy drinks it benefits your baby, this is why fetal alcohol syndrome is a problem bc the baby is "drinking" also at very sensitive developmental times. If you take a pain killer or drug your baby will get some as well and bc they are so much smaller than the mother a small dose can permanently damage them or even cause stillbirth. Even ingesting chemicals like caffeine in coffee can be advised against during pregnancy.
