Alcohol during Pregnancy
Pregnant women that abuse of alcohol intake put their babies at risk of suffering from fetal by alcoholemia syndrome, which can cause a number of birth defects which include growth problems, heart defects, mental retardation, and abnormalities in the face and extremities. The controversy comes up because medical science has not determined an absolute amount that is considered safe as far as the intake of alcohol is concerned during pregnancy. The scientific data show that daily drinking or incurring into sporadic excess can cause serious complications, but there have been no studies that indicate that an occasional glass of wine or other drink can cause harm to the baby. If you do choose to drink an occasional glass of wine or any other alcoholic drink, make sure to avoid doing so in the first three months of pregnancy, which is when the baby’s organs are developing, and limit the amount you drink to one or two drinks a week.
If you think you have a drinking problem, talk about it with your doctor. There are special questioners that will help the doctor identify if your consumption of alcohol is a danger for the fetus. If you think you have a problem, talking about it with your doctor is very important for your health and your baby’s.
