Preventing Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS)
Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) is a preventable condition that can have devastating consequences. To protect the health and well-being of both mother and child, it is crucial for women who are planning a pregnancy or are already pregnant to abstain from alcohol consumption. It is important to note that alcohol-related harm can occur in the early stages of pregnancy, even before a woman realizes she is pregnant. If you are struggling with alcohol addiction and have plans for pregnancy, seeking assistance from a medical professional is highly recommended.
