A nurse is providing education to a pregnant client about alcohol consumption during pregnancy.
What is the recommended approach to alcohol intake?
According to the CDC1, there is no known safe amount of alcohol use during pregnancy or while trying to get pregnant. Alcohol can cause problems for the baby throughout pregnancy, including before a woman knows she is pregnant. Alcohol use in the first three months of pregnancy can cause the baby to have abnormal facial features. Growth and central nervous system problems (e.g., low birthweight, behavioral problems) can occur from alcohol use anytime during pregnancy. Alcohol use during pregnancy can also cause fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASDs), which are lifelong physical, behavioral, and intellectual disabilities.
Limiting alcohol intake to one drink per day is not safe for the baby. There is no known safe amount of alcohol use during pregnancy.
Limiting alcohol intake to two drinks per week is not safe for the baby. There is no safe time for alcohol use during pregnancy. Alcohol can cause problems for the baby throughout pregnancy, including before a woman knows she is pregnant.
Consuming alcohol only in moderation is not safe for the baby.
