It's an unfortunate fact that even mothers-to-be have trouble with substance abuse. Quite often, the expectant mother is already dependent on alcohol or drugs when they became pregnant and simply couldn't stop using regardless of how hard they attempted to do so, for the sake of their baby. Continuing drug abuse when pregnant is not only going to result in a risky pregnancy, but sometimes also significantly increases rates of miscarriage and infants born dependent to drugs or alcohol. No one wants to see their newborn experiencing drug or alcohol withdrawal because they didn't stop their drug or alcohol use throughout their pregnancy. And nobody wants to have their child removed from their care simply because they couldn't quit.
