Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD)
Did you know that the safest and best choice a woman can make is not to drink any alcohol during pregnancy?
Drinking during pregnancy can cause a range of permanent birth defects and brain damage to a baby, known as Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). Research has not shown that there is a safe time, amount, or type of alcohol to consume during pregnancy. A baby’s brain is developing throughout pregnancy. The safest choice during pregnancy is no alcohol at all. In fact, it’s best to stop drinking if considering or trying to become pregnant.
