Do alcohol, smoking and illegal drugs affect pregnancy? Yes, I believe that smoking illegal drugs and drinking alcohol really have very dangerous effects on your baby. I understand that whatever the mother consumes, the child also consumes. Alcohol already attacks the body of the person who drinks it and has very serious consequences, so imagine what it does to the child. Research has shown that the child carried by a mother who drinks or smokes has many more health problems than children who were not carried by a woman who is an alcoholic or smoker. Many people know that women are advised to stop smoking during pregnancy or reduce their alcohol consumption. because they don't want the child to look mentally retarded. It would be better to eliminate alcohol at the beginning of pregnancy because the faster you quit the better your baby will not come out with mental retardation. If you haven't stopped smoking in the sixth month of pregnancy there is no point in quitting. Pregnancy can be divided into three phases in which the baby grows in different ways. The first phase of pregnancy is that during most phases you may not have even begun to suspect that you are pregnant until you have missed your first period. If the child grew after birth at the same time as the embryo grows in the womb, by the age of 21 it would stand almost like the Statue of Liberty. In a woman's body, cells grow during the first 17 days and divide into different types of cells that will form various parts of the baby's body except the brain, liver, heart, limbs, lungs and intestines . It is harmful to the body to grow clumps of cells during this period that the embryo will be affected and will be completely killed, and that... middle of paper... covers the doctor is giving you because you wouldn't know what could happen to your child until you go to the doctor and the doctor tells you that you shouldn't have taken the medicine. When a woman uses drugs during pregnancy, she may end up miscarrying because the baby cannot take the drug she is using. The drugs work through the effect of the brain and the child's brain. When the child's brain is developing, it will develop slowly due to all the illegal drugs that are introduced into the child's body. During pregnancy you should avoid chemicals and medications because they can have different effects on the baby depending on the time of pregnancy. The drugs that are given at birth will mainly affect them as they get older because they were addicted to the drugs and it had affected the child to the point where the child came out deformed, with mental problems.
