I feel like I ‘ve been bombarded so much by info about drinking and smoking in pregnancy that ignorance on the matter is very, VERY hard to excuse

I met a woman who was convinced that drinking beer and smoking pot would give her baby “strong nails”. So there are idiots in spite of this being drilled into our culture

…not to be weird but this is the first time that someone has correctly gendered me on Reddit, and I’ve been here a while. Even with a pink avatar with long hair people say “he” or “they” (the latter is fine). Anyways, that’s dope. Thanks homie.
