My 31 yr old sister is 7 weeks pregnant. She used to consume alcohol at social gatherings… recently she has consumed twice at a friends meet after knowing about her pregnancy, But unfortunately had no idea that alcohol could cause possible harm to the baby… now that we know, she has refrained from alcohol… but still we need guidance on the syndrome that might occur and any other immediate steps we can take to avoid possible complications…
I completely agree. Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder is a serious concern, and it highlights the need for awareness around the potential risks of alcohol during pregnancy. It’s crucial for us to promote a supportive environment that encourages pregnant individuals to make informed choices for the well-being of both themselves and their babies. Education and open conversations play a vital role in preventing these challenges. Let’s continue spreading awareness and supporting each other in fostering healthier pregnancies.
