All women know that anything more than the occasional small amount of alcohol will harm their baby – the doctors tell them, as do the midwives at the pre-natal classes! The trouble is the mothers that ignore this aren’t just stupid, they are just too selfish and immature!
The problem is not confined to diadvantaged parents! Any class woman can be “a lush”!
Was a certain well know celebritie’s baby disabled by his mother’s well publicised heavy drinking? I don’t know, but we can be sure she totally ignored all the learned advice!
I know someone who smoked during pregnancy. Her child tragically developed a brain tumour and died at the age of 18 months. It was trully horrible! What a txxt to smoke during pregnancy! How many babies get brain tumours eh? The mother was not disadvantaged whatsoever, quite the reverse.
I bet someone will say i’m jumping to conclusions about a mother’s pre-natal behaviour, but WTF!
