How bad is it to drink while pregnant? how much is safe for the baby?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bad choice: The early reports of fetal alcohol effects surfaced first in the 1950's& again in the 70's. The most prominent effects were dose related; the worst fetal damage to the highest alcohol intake. Research has shown direct toxic effects of alcohol on the nerves of the fetal brain & many suggest much of the add we see today is related to alcohol intake. No level of alcohol intake is considered safe.
