Script

Female Elder:
Our Community supports healthy pregnancies...

Nurse:
At our prenatal group, we tell moms and dads about the risks of drinking and taking drugs during pregnancy.

Young Pregnant Woman:
There's no safe time or safe amount to drink. I quit drinking before getting pregnant.

Young Man:
I wanted her to know that she is not alone. So I quit too!

Nurse:
Drinking during pregnancy can lead to life-long disabilities for your baby. Taking drugs during pregnancy -- even in small amounts -- can also be very harmful to your baby.

Woman Elder:
Our Children are our future. Give them a healthy start! If you're pregnant, it's important to visit your health care provider early. For more information on healthy pregnancy go to healthycanadians.ca or call toll-free at 1 800 622-6232.
