Fetal Alcohol Syndrome

It is one type of condition in which occurs in a child that results from alcohol exposure during the mother’s pregnancy. 

In fact, alcohol (beer, wine, or hard liquor) is the leading cause of preventable birth defects and developmental disabilities in the United States.

These disorders include a wide range of physical, behavioral, and learning problems. 

This syndrome causes brain damage and growth problems. The problems caused by fetal alcohol syndrome vary from child to child, but defects caused by fetal alcohol syndrome are not reversible.

Early diagnosis of this syndrome may help to reduce problems such as learning difficulties and behavioral issues. 

Based on studies of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and others, it is estimated that in the United States, somewhere between 800 and 8,000 babies could be born each year with FAS. 

Any amount of alcohol can harm a developing fetus and increase the risk of miscarriage.

Alcohol easily passes through the placenta, the organ that nourishes a baby during pregnancy.

Alcohol exposure during the first trimester; perhaps before a woman even knows she is pregnant can cause major birth defects.

Later in the pregnancy, drinking alcohol can cause poor growth and brain damage that could lead to learning and behavioral problems.

These problems can be prevented by not drinking any alcohol during pregnancy.

Do not drink if you are trying to get pregnant or think you may be pregnant.
