Fetal Alcohol Syndrome

Written March 15, 2011

A good friend of yours is pregnant and she is still drinking and smoking would you confront her why or why not?

If I had a good friend that is pregnant and still continues to drink and smoke I would be blunt and honest with them about the harm they are causing their unborn baby! By continuing to drink they are risking that the baby will have problems that will last its entire life they are basically telling their baby that they do not care about it and that they would rather continue to live the live they are living than take responsibility for their actions. Although if this were my friend I would tell them about these harms and then insist they get help because it may be difficult for them to just stop smoking and drinking. I have also heard that to just stop smoking may harm the baby more than continue to smoke but I am not sure about that statement. I think that when a person decides to continue to do these risky things while they are pregnant my guess it will be hard to tell them to stop. It makes me very sad that a person could do this to another live and not even care :(.
