It’s not all the womans fault….if the father drinks or smokes heavly it causes defects in the sperm which effects the developing fetus.

Why am I seeing some many incorrect facts on you tube lately? FAS only effects children bourn of alcoholic mothers not a moderate drinker. It has also been advised that a single glass of red wine once a week during pregnancy can do no harm to the child and in fact can be beneficial due to the anti oxidants present in the wine.

I’m fairly sure the pre natal doctor who advised my sister of this fact would know more on the subject than you.

“No amount of alcohol has been proven safe to consume during pregnancy. FAS and FAE…are 100% preventable when a pregnant woman abstains from alcohol.” While it’s true, more symptoms are more commonly seen in alcoholic (8-10 drinks daily) mothers, there are definite symptoms that range greatly in mothers who drink as few as 2 drinks. Daily drinking does not need to occur for FAS to be present.

Like I said, I will trust the professional opinion over that of a random youtube user.

If you look online, you can easily find studies, articles, and research conducted by “professionals” (AKA M.D.’s) that support the points I made.

Apparently, you never went to school. I am currently in Human Nutrition AND Psychology and they can’t stress enough how drinking effects the fetus. If you are told by a doctor that it is okay to drink during pregancy then you need to go to a different doctor.
DRINKING, EVEN JUST A LITTLE, IS KNOWN FOR CAUSING FAS. OVER AND OUT.

And the comment about how wine has great antioxidants, this maybe true but there is also a numerous other sources that you can get these antioxidants from. It doesn’t have to be wine, so that arguement kind of failed for you…

I am so with you. When I was pregnant, my ob/gyn told me clearly that a glass of wine, or 1 beer occasionally would have no effect on my son and he is perfectly fine! Eventhough I still felt guilty and only had 1 beer. I agree with you. I have read the same things in text books and head it from more than one doctor. They have the degrees on their walls, not all these people stating wrong OPINIONS!
