1 in 67 pregnant women who drink alcohol will have a baby with APS

Pregnancy and alcohol consumption

Everyone knows how important it is for a pregnant woman to stop drinking alcohol as soon as she finds out that she is pregnant. An Australian study and another carried out by the WHO made clear the consequences of drinking alcohol during pregnancy. As many as 1 in 67 women who drink alcohol during their pregnancy will bring a baby with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) into the world.

When a woman is pregnant, she should not only take care of her health, but also that of the growing baby in her womb. There is a myth that says that a woman can drink small doses of wine because it does not harm the development of the baby, but the reality is that it can be highly dangerous.

Drinking alcohol at any time during pregnancy can cause changes in the child's brain and cause anatomical differences in your head. SAF can be related to cognitive disorders and facial abnormalities (small eyes, thin upper lips, etc.). Alcoholic beverages are toxic to the baby at any time during pregnancy and will reach the fetus directly through the mother's bloodstream, which can cause dangers.

The consumption of alcohol during pregnancy can cause behavioral, cognitive, physical problems, physical and facial abnormalities, brain dysfunctions ... Incomprehensibly 1 in 10 women consume alcohol during pregnancy, and 20% of these women do it compulsively, so they are able to drink a lot of alcohol at each sitting.

It is necessary for all women to be aware of the importance of cutting alcohol consumption during pregnancy, and if it is forever better. Alcohol consumption is harmful for anyone who consumes it on a regular basis… But a pregnant woman should know that it is not only bad for her, but that she is directly harming her unborn baby.
