  9. Alcohol Use Patterns After Knowledge of Pregnancy:San Luis Obispo, Riverside vs. CA

  10. Predictors of Low Birth Weight Tobacco has a 3x greater impact than cocaine on predicting low birth weight

  11. Tobacco Decreases oxygen to fetus Baby is born too early Small babies (low birth weight) Nicotine withdrawal More likely to die from SIDS Learning and behavioral problems

  12. Marijuana • Right after birth • Hard time responding • Shakes • Hard time comforting • Long-term affects • Trouble paying attention • Aggressive behaviors

  13. Baby Exposed to Cocaine

  14. Cocaine, Methamphetamines, Heroin Drugs can starve parts of the baby’s body and prevent it from growing Can cause stroke or heart attack in the womb Can cause miscarriage, early birth and nervous system problems SIDS Learning and behavioral problems

  18. Cause of FAS/FASD • The sole cause of FAS/FASD is women drinking alcoholic beverages during pregnancy. • Alcohol is a teratogen. “ Of all the substances of abuse (including cocaine, heroin, and marijuana), alcohol produces by far the most serious neurobehavioral effect in the fetus” IOM report to Congress 1996
