Smoking, Alcohol and Drugs
Smoking, alcohol and drugs can have serious consequences on the health of your baby. Your baby may have malformations or low birth weight. It is best to stop before you get pregnant, and certainly once you are already pregnant. Quitting is not always easy, there are several organizations that can support you.
