Just a few drinks in pregnancy could harm baby

Mothers who drink even low levels of alcohol during pregnancy could permanently damage their children’s intelligence, research suggests.

The study of seven-and-a-half-year-olds by scientists in Detroit found lower IQ scores, and memory and problem-solving difficulties among those who had had low-level exposure to alcohol during pregnancy.

The research, which the Department of Health says it wants to consider, appears to challenge current British Government advice that pregnant women can safely consume one to two units of alcohol a week.

…this is one of those things that sort of drive me bonkers… the evidence is mounting everyday about the dangers of alcohol and pregnancy…

… i would say, “if in doubt”, why would you take a chance with the health of the newborn…

…but i see pregnant mothers that still smoke… it can’t be good for mother or baby… all you can do is continue to build the case and hope for the best…

Peace:thumbsup:
