Everything affects the fetus in vitro. There is a growing human developing and the fetus develops in a pattern or stages. What the mother takes in so does the baby and if it sone thing harmful to the body the baby maybe harmed as well. The umbilical cord is like a life line between baby and mom. It is up to the mother to make sure that she has the best possible baby she can. Drugs, alcohol and smoking harm the baby and changes development of the baby. One area that is affected the most is the central nervous system and the brain.
