Fetal alcohol syndrome?

what time during pregnancy can the alcohol affect the baby so it gets f.a.s?

FAS can occur at any stage. I read an article saying that 1 out of every 100 babies who's mothers drink alcohol may be affected in some way. It may not be major, but only just a small problem.

But FAS is most common among female drinkers who are alcoholics and drink throughout their pregnancy.

The international health institute (IHI) now say there is no safe amount of alcohol for a woman to drink - only because they dont know how much is ok to be consumed before it causes harm. So either way its like a pick of the lotto if a fetus has FAS. Just be aware of the precautions.

Thoughout pregnancy especially during early pregnancy. If you are planning on getting pregnant or think you might be pregnant, avoid alchohol.

There are lots of studies on this and plenty of controversy.. but generally the most suceptible is before 20 weeks although some studues will show any drinking during pregnancy increases the risk dramatically.

please look at photo and read literature for more 411

the baby will often be affected 3-6 weeks post conception . There are a lot of processes happening at this time particularly the heart and brain are beginning to form. The sad part is that this is very early in the pregnancy before the woman often knows she is pregnant.

Even during early pregnancy,alcohol consumption must be be discouraged to avoid any untowards effects to baby.
