Excuse me, but I don't care what you think of me or what you call me. Back when I was pregnant, and gave birth to a very healthy baby girl, we didn't have nanny doctors telling us we could not smoke, or take aspirins or have an occassional drink.
What good is the placenta then? The placenta is what screens out the poisons that enter a woman's body. The placenta weeds out the good and the bad going into the baby.
And for another thing: smoking was legal back then, and from what I see it, it still is today. At least I wasn't a fat pig when I was pregnant.
That is the most ignorant thing I've read here in a long time. I suppose fetal alcohol syndrome is just a myth?
