Smoking & drinking while pregnant

Home More advice Health

I have a friend who is 6 weeks pregnant. Ever since I've known her (about 2 years) she has smoked and gotten drunk on a regular basis. She also does a small amount of drugs every now and then. She would smoke about a pack a day. She is now pregnant and I just assumed she would give all that crap up for the health of her baby. But to my horror I found out that all she is doing is smoking a pack a week rather than a day. She still drinks. I have begged her to stop for the sake of her baby but she just laughs it off and tells me im overreacting and it's fine. I'm pretty damn sure it's not fine. Can someone please give me some cold hard facts or SOMETHING that I can say to scare her into stopping this irresponsible behaviour? The baby shouldn't have to suffer because she wants to drink and smoke!
