I saw a low information denizen the other day about 8 months or so and smoking a cigarette while drinking a 44 oz. soda. I had to fight hard to hold my tongue.

obozo’s mom must have drunk a quart of gin a night!
Based on reports of his dad, no one could blame her.

drinking wine is Biblical.
I suppose drugs, whether prescribed or illegal, are fine. They cause absolutely no ill effect on the fetus.
Alcohol is the ONLY bad substance. drugs are good.

Yep. In Brave New World they added alcohol to the jars in the hatcheries to make Democrats.

My mother drank when pregnant with me but only wine. That’s what women did back then.

Exactly...I don't believe this for a second; although I would say it's not a good idea to drink to excess while pregnant, I doubt that moderate amounts of alcohol are going to do any harm an unborn child. This is another of those 'junk science' reports that will be totally debunked once the furor dies down. Just like alar, just like salt was bad for you, just like coffee was bad for you, just like global warming, etc. etc. Liars lie, that's what they do.

How did you glean that from this story? Good prenatal care by a competent MD will make sure no harmful Rx are prescribed and, clearly, illicit drugs should be avoided. Apparently alcohol too and I’ll go out on a limb and suggest a tobacco smoking mom is also bad for the fetus.

...smoking a cigarette... There are multiple FReepers who adamantly contend smoking isn't hazardous to a fetus.

Bite Me’s mother must’ve drank the whole damn distillery.
To: nickcarraway
Calling BS. Not that I think women should drink a lot during pregnancy. I’ve been pregnant and around lots of pregnant women here and in Europe. Here, the docs tell you to not imbibe one drop of alcohol. They never say one word about eating chemical fake sweeteners which are clear neurotoxins. Not one doctor says to not drink diet sodas.
In Europe those brain poisons are not allowed, and a pregnant woman is told to only have a bit of wine with dinner. Wine has been drunk even by pregnant people for millennia. Most pregnant women don’t want alcohol much anyway. They crave protein. Certainly drinking a bit of alcohol only with dinner during pregnancy won’t hurt your baby.

They say that if a woman is consistently anxious during pregnancy it can cause hormonal imbalances which can lead to girls becoming more masculine and boys more feminine.
With all these things for pregnant women to worry about now, it's no wonder we have all these pervs coming out of the woodwork.

What happens to the baby when the mother takes psychiatric drugs while pregnant?

Good for you, that's the best way to keep it attached!
That could have been my mother or any other FReeper's mother 65 years ago.........
Of course that was way before the nanny staters took over.......
To: nickcarraway
If they hadn’t drank so much, maybe they wouldn’t have gotten pregnant in the first place.
