Drinking Mother
Is there a way to stop a pregnant woman from drinking? I don't understand why it's not against the law. It's aginst the law to supply alcohol to minors, but it's ok to posion your unborn child?

Yes.

Unfortuantly there isn't... you can only hope that MOST women will care enough about their own un-born child to not drink.

I think if she isn't an alcoholic and you don't know her that well that you should mind your own business. It isn't good but since you don't know her keep out of it.

I wish there was a way. Just make sure it doesn't happen to you. That's my advice to everyone. Because if everyone would try to better themselves, we wouldn't have these problems.

My advice to you is try and quit on your own. Later on if you still are drinking try going to a rehab or a therapist or someone you really know and try and talk to them about your alcoholic problems. No I dont think it is right to poison your unborn child.

The only way to prevent a woman from drinking (pregnant or not) is to get her in a controlled environment where alcohol is unavailable. If you are legally responsible for the woman, her next of kin, or her spouse, you can probably get away with forcing her into rehab and/or a hospital, since she's pregnant.
Since the state does not recognize person-hood until birth, restricting the freedom of a pregnant woman to eat or drink as she chooses would be inappropriately invasive of the state.
I would suggest that you make sure she has information on the effects of alcohol on the life developing within her. If she cannot control her drinking and will not go into rehab, the best option may be abortion.

i have always wondered why if mommie kills it its ok and legal but if someone else does it its murder. if daddy happens to want the child, no ones seems to care. why are you even suprized? this is how jacked up this world is.

y would you drink in the first place while carrying a child? the only thing youre doing is killing it! theres heads full of shame on you! if youre addicted i suggest u seek help quick! yet I also agree with u, it should be against the law.

STOP!!!!!!!! Think about this child keep it good! Think you will be killing another human but just stop and think will i be a good mother can I do this? So buy some patches. Plus when and if this child is born you would not like this child to be taken away would you? So stop!

Dear Drinking Mother,
If the pregnant woman in question is 21 or over then they are allowed to drink. Its their decision what they do to the baby. I do agree however that this woman shouldn't drink while pregnant. Does she understand that things can happen to her unborn child? If she doesn't know then tell her, or show her what can happen if she doesn't get the message. Also if she still doesn't listen or doesn't care then keep the liquor away from her (hide it in other words). Do what you think though. These are just ideas.

Tell her about all the harm it will do to her baby.Drinking is terrible to begin with, but when you do it while pregnant there is so many things bad that can happen.

o my goodness. i would tell someone like the doctors and they will like tell the mother if she doesn't stop then when the babys born it will be takin away from her or something. i don't really know i have never heard of a mother do that. but like they say first time for everything
]
Actually while it isnt against the law, people can still take away the child if they think the mother is drinking to much. Hope my advice helps!
]
OMGGG! that's horrible, she will soo regret it later. i agree with the other answers and maybe try calling the cops anonomysly or the hospital. they'll probably be the best help. =] hope i helped & please view my column and rate!
]
Just talk to her and explain why you think she shouldnt! For the babys sake!!

Dear Drinking Mother,
The hospital can take the child away from the mother if she is suspected of drinking while she was pregnant. Alcohol can cause many birth defects in which the hospital knows of. I would recommend finding help for this person or comfronting her about the danger she is putting her child through. Good luck.

this is a bad problem.youll have to take the achole away from her.throw the achol away.

Well, there is really no way to prevent her from doing it but there is something you can do to at the very least try to get her not to. If you go to a clinic, they have pamphlets about how drinking/smoking/etc can affect the baby while you're pregnant. If you don't have a chance to go to a clinic, you can always just look it up on the internet. They have it on many parenting websites. Sit her down and show it to her and tell her it's not a good thing to do at all. I agree with you that it should be agaist the law. Women normally don't understand that drinking and smoking can affect your baby so horribly. I hope this helped.
