The key word in that sentence is CAN. It's not always going to happen. My lab partner in one of my class had 2 children ( she was a middle aged woman) and she had smoked all through her pregnancy. Her kids are maturing at a normal rate and they are physically and mentally healthy.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not condoning the use of drugs and alcohol during pregnancy. The mother is running a huge risk by doing that. If you're going to carry the fetus start taking some respnsibility.
But by the same token, this child might very well be a happy, healthy (both mentally and physically) baby.
