substance+abuse+project+summary-+rebecca

For my substance abuse project I talked about personal stories of women who did drugs, smoked and drank during their pregnancy. There were many complications during their pregnancy, and the baby had problems due to the substance abuse. Substance abuse is very bad for the baby and the mother. I showed pictures of the effects of smoking, drinking and doing drugs. I explained what each picture represented. I picked certain pictures that would be interesting for the class, and that went along with my slides.When you smoke, your baby is smoking too. Second hand smoking is also very bad for your baby, Smoking will cause our baby to either have collapsed lungs, the mother may have a miscarriage's, and the baby will weigh very little. Doing drugs while pregnant is like a baby doing drugs. Drugs effect your baby because they become addicted t that drug too. Drinking while pregnant is like a baby drinking too. It causes your baby to most likely have Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. I kept my slides very simple using a few bullet points. I also prepared note cards, so I would take more that what was on each slide.
