When you drink it goes to the fetus and causes damage to the baby. It can cause you to have a miscarraige, birth defects and even causes learning and behavior problems. Think of all of this before drinking again because your baby could come out stillborn.
Answer2: Whatever the mother eats or drinks the baby eats or drinks. I read an article that said "a particularly tragic out come of alcohol abuse is its effect on the unborn. "Alcohol is far worse for the developing fetus than any other abused drug," reports the International Herald Tribune. When a pregnant woman drinks, her developing child also drinks, and the toxic effect of alcohol is especially devastating at the formative stage of the fetus. Alcohol carries irreversible damage to is central nervous system. Neurons do not form properly. Cells are killed off. Other cells end up located in the wrong place. The result, fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS), is the foremost cause of mental retardation in newborns. "You don't have to be an alcoholic to hurt your baby," remarks Professor Ann Streissguth, of the fetal alcohol and drug unit at the University of Washington, "you just have to be drinking enough and pregnant." The wisest course for women who are pregnant or planning a pregnancy may be not to drink any alcohol at all. (taken from 10/08/05 Awake magazine on Jehovah's Witnesses official website)
