" Studies show that very high levels of stress may contribute to an increased risk of premature delivery or low birth weight babies. Still other studies suggest that overly high stress levels can increase your heart rate, blood pressure and produce chronic anxiety. None of these side effects are good for your baby." This quote is from womens health care topics and i chose it because it entirely states my point of stress being a major problem within premature births. Even though stress does not seem as harmful as drugs or alcohol the effects of stress are the same. The Stress can be controlled but not like drugs or alcohol; Stress is not something you have on purpose. Because you cant directly stop stress from happening, the only question now is, What is the most severe and reoccurring reason for premature births of the following: stress, drugs, or alcohol? At this point with in my research i think that stress is worst than drugs or alcohol because stress leads to those things and sometimes even worst.

Quote #2
"When you are pregnant, it is important that you watch what you put into your body. Consumption of illegal drugs is not safe for the unborn baby or for the mother. Studies have shown that consumption of illegal drugs during pregnancy can result in miscarriage, low birth-weight,premature labor, placental abruption, fetal death, and even maternal death." The American association made this quote and I prefer this quote above any other because it summarizes the consequences of doing drugs while pregnant! This quotes gives you the ends and outs of how it is to do drugs while pregnant. Along with this quote the website provides you with all of the different drugs and their affect including everything you would want to know about pregnancy. then it gets in to details about how Marijuana better know as weed, stops the the oxygen supply to the unborn baby. Another drug called cocaine causes miscarriages, premature births, and placenta eruptions. Also along with those drugs there are two more called Heroin and Methane. Heroin causes the baby to be dependent on it; consequently, with out the drug the baby may have relapses. Methane on the other hand, makes the babies heart beat increase dangerously

The Quote
American pregnancy stated that, "When you consume alcohol, so does your baby. Alcohol freely passes through the placenta to your baby. Drinking alcohol during pregnancy increases the chance that a baby will be born affected by a Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) are the full spectrum of birth defects that are caused by prenatal alcohol exposure. These effects are life-long and irreversible. The good thing is that they are 100% preventable." This site prove my points about how alcohol get to your baby and it affects the fetus. FASD is an illness that causes neurological and mental effects that range in severity. Also particular quote doesn't say anything about how alcohol could make your baby a premature but it does talk about Fetal Alcohol spectrum disorders. That disorders causes many other disorders in neurological structure, growth, and other life threating diseases. The worst part about drinking while your pregnant is that your baby has to suffer for something it even couldn't control.

This Is Like...
This photo shows a mother giving her baby drugs, this is a site viewed wrong by most; moreover, it is the same as doing drugs while pregnant. It is as if the baby smokes and drinks itself. In the image the parent is lighting the cigarette for the baby.Have you seen what drugs can do to person? Then think about how this may affect the babies future before their future even began. Why would anyone in thier right mind give a baby alcohol or, and a cigarette? Should any one who would allows thier infant to do this really be given the responsiblity of child?
