Abstract

Advances in fetal monitoring and research linking events in utero with subsequent fetal morbidity are elucidating the effects of maternal behavior on fetal well-being. Progress in these areas will generate medical and legal questions about the physicians' role in detecting and managing maternal behavior that threatens fetal well-being. These issues are considered in reference to a pregnant 34-year-old woman who was repeatedly admitted in an intoxicated state.
