babygirl17 answered Monday August 16 2004, 9:14 pm: You need to tell her that smoking and drinking can cause serious problems with the baby... Depending on what she smokes.. if shes into drugs. Then the baby can be born addicted to those drugs.. so you need to tell her that she has to stop drinking.. or her baby will have serious birth defects.. or she could possibly kill her child..
orphans answered Wednesday July 7 2004, 1:50 pm: Wow... I would suggest going to a planned parenthood or other related clinic and picking up as many pamphlets and fliers about fetal alcohol syndrome, the effects of drinking and smoking with a baby on the way, and maybe one about causes of birth defects.
Is your friend going to keep the baby? I don't think she seems very responsible. Anyway, although a lot of damage has probably already been done, I would encourage her to stop drinking and smoking for the babys health, if not her own. [ orphans's advice column | Ask orphans A Question ]

MotherJune answered Wednesday June 9 2004, 8:16 pm: If this foolish girl, (she sounds immature or uneducated) does not listen to you, then go to a nearby clinic or doctor and get as many pamphlets on prenatal care, fetal alcohol syndrome, and the March of Dimes on birth defects. SHOW her the adverse effects and ask her how she will deal with a sick or injured baby and the guilt that is to follow. [ MotherJune's advice column | Ask MotherJune A Question ]
bAhAmAmA0250 answered Saturday June 5 2004, 1:53 pm: Tell her that she is being stupid! she needs to care for the baby! yeah it might be hard but she needs to! tell her you believe in her and that she can do it! Ask her if she would have liked to be killed in her mothers stomach and never be here on earth? point good reasons why she shouldnt be doing that kind of things. No baby or No body deserves to be hurt or killed in that matter. Or any matter what so ever. You need to speak up now before it is to late.

Good Luck!! [ amygymbug366's advice column | Ask amygymbug366 A Question ]
friend2all answered Thursday April 15 2004, 8:23 am: she may not kill the baby but she could give her unborn baby brain damage and slow down the development of the body. Talk to her and seek advice from the family planning try do activitys that do not focus on drink she may be uble to stop smoking but try get her to cut down take care and lots of love [ friend2all's advice column | Ask friend2all A Question ]
Magenta answered Thursday April 15 2004, 4:49 am: There are loads of great advice leaflets out there warning pregnant women what to (and what not to) do whilst pregnant. I would reccomend getting her one of these - it's sometimes better if the advice is from an outside source instead of you. [ Magenta's advice column | Ask Magenta A Question ]
Courtney answered Wednesday April 14 2004, 9:23 pm: Tell Breanna that if she wants to deliver a healthy child, that she has to stop smoking ,and drinking . Tell her that her baby could develop brain damage and many more handicapps that come along with drinking . I really care and I am worried . I think it would matter if she knew you cared about her and her child's sake .
FallenAngel answered Wednesday April 14 2004, 7:33 pm: You should sit her down and talk to her. Let her know that if she drinks and smokes while she is pregnant then her baby can be born with many different problems. I'm sure if you talk to her she will try and do anything she can to make sure her baby is born healthy. Let her also know you will support her through everything. She'll really appreciate it. Good luck hun!!! :) [ FallenAngel's advice column | Ask FallenAngel A Question ]
sp4rklingr4in answered Wednesday April 14 2004, 7:12 pm: I know that it might be hard for you and her to do this, but try and sit down and talk to her about her situation.
Remind her that she is not only killing herself, but she is also harming her baby. Here is a website showing the possible side-effets of drugs on her baby. [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
You might want her to see this. Let her know that her child is going to suffer because of her and that she is already showing signs of bad parenting skills. Hopefully, that will drive her to stop smoking and drinking at least until the baby is born. After that, it is really her own choice. [ sp4rklingr4in's advice column | Ask sp4rklingr4in A Question ]
Cspinoza1 answered Wednesday April 14 2004, 5:45 pm: Well remind her that she is going to kill her baby remind her of that. And then remember if the baby survives her baby has a 90% of being born premature and with major complications that can not only affect the babys growth but the babys mental state. And remind her that there is law being passed about the abuse of a not born child that could land her in jail when the baby is born, because a law was just passed that the baby that is not born is now considered a human being by Federal Law/ JAIL TIME.
