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.
When you’re pregnant and you drink alcohol:
- Alcohol enters your bloodstream and reaches your developing fetus by crossing the placenta
- Alcohol causes higher blood alcohol concentrations in your developing baby than in your body because a fetus metabolizes alcohol slower than an adult does
- Alcohol interferes with the delivery of oxygen and optimal nutrition to your developing baby
- Exposure to alcohol before birth can harm the development of tissues and organs and cause permanent brain damage in your baby
The more you drink while pregnant, the greater the risk to your unborn baby. However, any amount of alcohol puts your baby at risk. Your baby’s brain, heart and blood vessels begin to develop in the early weeks of pregnancy, before you may know you’re pregnant.
Impairment of facial features, the heart and other organs, including the bones, and the central nervous system may occur as a result of drinking alcohol during the first trimester. That’s when these parts of the fetus are in key stages of development. However, the risk is present at any time during pregnancy.
The more alcohol you drink during pregnancy, the greater the chance of problems in your baby. There’s no known safe amount of alcohol consumption during pregnancy.
You could put your baby at risk even before you realize you’re pregnant.
Don’t drink alcohol if:
- You’re pregnant
- You think you might be pregnant
- You’re trying to become pregnant.
Clinical features of this syndrome may include any mix of physical defects, intellectual or cognitive disabilities, and problems functioning and coping with daily life.

It can be difficult to diagnose fetal alcohol syndrome. There isn’t a direct test for FAS and pregnant people may not give a complete history of all alcohol intake during pregnancy.
Pediatric providers can often make a diagnosis of FAS based on the size of a child, specific physical signs and symptoms that develop through childhood, including:
- History of alcoholic beverage consumption by the child’s mother during pregnancy.
- Abnormal facial features — a smooth connection between the nose and upper lip, a thin upper lip and small eyes.
- Small size at birth and throughout childhood.
- Emotional and behavioral issues like difficulty paying attention, hyperactivity and poor judgment.
Symptoms of FAS can resemble those found in other disorders, including:
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
- Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
- Williams syndrome.
Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Problem behaviors not present at birth that can result from having fetal alcohol syndrome (secondary disabilities) may include:
- Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
- Aggression, inappropriate social conduct, and breaking rules and laws
- Alcohol or drug misuse
- Mental health disorders, such as depression, anxiety or eating disorders
- Problems staying in or completing school
- Problems with independent living and with employment
- Inappropriate sexual behaviors
- Early death by accident, homicide or suicide.
Experts know that fetal alcohol syndrome is completely preventable if women don’t drink alcohol at all during pregnancy.
These guidelines can help prevent fetal alcohol syndrome:
- Don’t drink alcohol if you’re trying to get pregnant- If you haven’t already stopped drinking, stop as soon as you know you’re pregnant or if you even think you might be pregnant. It’s never too late to stop drinking during your pregnancy, but the sooner you stop, the better it is for your baby.
- Continue to avoid alcohol throughout your pregnancy- Fetal alcohol syndrome is completely preventable in children whose mothers don’t drink during pregnancy.
- Consider giving up alcohol during your childbearing years if you’re sexually active and you’re having unprotected sex. Many pregnancies are unplanned, and damage can occur in the earliest weeks of pregnancy.
- If you have an alcohol problem, get help before you get pregnant- Get professional help to determine your level of dependence on alcohol and to develop a treatment plan.
