An unborn fetus receives all its nutrition from its mother. Anything harmful she puts in her body is also passed along to the unborn child. This is why it is so important for a pregnant female to take care of her body. On the Web site below, you will learn about how using alcohol, tobacco, or drugs during pregnancy can affect a child before and after he/she is born.
