Bad effects of Alchol in Pregnancy
Despite the negative consequences, many continue to use substances regardless. In fact, almost 10% of pregnant women in the U.S. reported drinking alcohol from 2012-2013, and, though much of it is done to manage other health conditions, it’s increasingly more common for women to continue using medications while carrying a child.
Even a small amount of alcohol consumed during pregnancy can place an unborn baby at risk, according to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism.

Drinking alcohol can increase your risk of miscarriage and may result in a number of development issues in your child like fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS)—the most severe example on the spectrum of fetal alcohol disorders. Bad effects ll fetal alcohol spectrum disorders involve negative consequences affecting the physical, mental, and behavioral health of your child—effects that can last a lifetime.

Drug addiction is a chronic disease characterized by drug seeking and use that is compulsive, or difficult to control, despite harmful consequences. The initial decision to take drugs is voluntary for most people, but repeated drug use can lead to brain changes that challenge an addicted person’s self-control and interfere with their ability to resist intense urges to take drugs. These brain changes can be persistent, which is why drug addiction is considered a "relapsing" disease—people in recovery from drug use disorders are at increased risk for returning to drug use even after years of not taking the drug.
