Attention expectant mothers – experts say NO amount of alcohol should be consumed during pregnancy
Expectant mothers have been warned that they can consume literally no alcohol at any stage during their pregnancy.
It’s understood that it could be extremely dangerous for unborn babies if their mother drinks alcohol, the HSE warns.
Strikingly, Ireland is estimated to have the third-highest rate of foetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) and it is estimated that about 600 babies are born with foetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) every year in Ireland.
Experts say that expectant mothers who drink alcohol could see their child having brain, body and organ development issues. It’s also understood that children could have a severe attention deficit disorder if their mother drinks when she’s pregnant.
