Section 01
We are not discussing the benefits and harms of small or large amounts of alcoholic beverages on general health. The goal here is to avoid the risks of alcoholic beverages on pregnancy or the fetus.
The pregnant woman is advised to avoid consuming alcoholic beverages regardless of the amount, due to the lack of sufficient studies confirming that a certain amount of alcohol weekly may be safe.
If the woman cannot completely stop consuming alcoholic beverages, the amount should not exceed two units weekly.
The potential harms of alcohol include:
Miscarriage
Premature birth
Fetal abnormalities
Poor fetal growth
