Is alcohol consumption safe for pregnant women and their fetuses?
It is too risky to drink even in limited quantities while pregnant. Doctors highly recommend you avoid alcohol. Alcohol in the mother’s blood passes to the baby through the umbilical cord. Drinking alcohol during pregnancy can cause miscarriage, stillbirth, and a range of lifelong physical, behavioral, and intellectual disabilities. This, I think is called FASD.
I would strongly advise you to avoid alcohol at all costs. It’s damaging the body and brain of your child, increasing the risks to develop neurological and psychological disorders. Recent studies have shown that unborn babies in the womb get epileptic shocks and jerks while their mother fed them alcohol via the placenta. Any caring mother would not want this for their child.
