Avoid smoking and alcohol during pregnancy

Pregnant women should neither smoke nor drink alcohol. Smoking and drinking alcohol may have negative effects on the health of the baby. Several reports suggest that women who want to get pregnant should quit smoking and drinking alcohol several months before getting pregnant. Some studies have proved that caffeine is also not good for pregnant women. It may cause birth defects in babies. As there is no safe limit for drinking coffee and other caffeinated drinks, pregnant women should avoid them for the sake of their baby’s health. Even passive smoking is bad for the baby in the womb.
