How much alcohol is reasonably acceptable to drink in pregnancy without running the risk of my child developing fetal alcohol syndrome?

We don't know: We don't know if there is a "safe" amount to drink during pregnancy. We do know that repeated, continuous exposure to alcohol for a growing baby will cause fetal alcohol syndrome. We don't know how much is too much. For this reason, you won't hear a lot of doctors/midwives say drinking occasionally is ok. I think one glass of wine on rare occasions is safe.

None: It is advised not to drink any alcohol during pregnancy.

None: Do not drink alcohol if you are pregnant or thinking about getting pregnant.

None: Alcohol passes freely across the placenta, so the kid drinks anytime you do. It also forms breakdown products on the kids end like formaldehyde, the preservative occasionally used in embalming. The fetal nervous system as well as others are influenced by these toxic byproducts. Although the worst FAS kids are born to alcoholics, there is no known safe level.
