Often, pregnant women don’t realise the effects of alcohol use on the fetus. If the future mother drinks alcohol in the nine months of pregnancy, consequences on the fetal development can be extremely bad, leading to alcoholic fetal syndrome. Nowadays, as there doesn’t exist a method to determine the safe quantity of alcohol comsumption, doctors recommend that women should not drink any alcohol during pregnancy.
