Drinking and Smoking during Pregnancy

 How does a mother's behavior influence the development of their fetus?
There's a very big inluence of the mother's behavior, because while she is pregnant eveything she does, drinks or eates affects the baby. So if the mother drinks alcohol it causes severe behavior and learning disorder. And the kid is going to have a reallly poor coordination. If the mother takes drugs like for example steroids can kill the baby. Smoking can casue bone damage, stunts growth, and  facial abnormalities. Foods like for example: lobster, salmon, tuna, swordfish can cause damage for the baby because it has a high level of mercury in it. Also if the mother listens to very loud music can also cause ear functioning for the baby.
