Whether you're pregnant, trying, or providing support to someone during their pregnancy, it's essential to be aware that the consumption of alcohol during pregnancy carries substantial risks. These potential risks include miscarriage, premature birth, low birth weight and the development of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). FASD is 100% preventable if the developing fetus isn't exposed to alcohol.
