Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is a diagnosis describing impacts on the brain and body of individuals prenatally exposed to alcohol during pregnancy.
Prevention is Possible
The safest choice is not to drink any alcohol during pregnancy or when planning to become pregnant. There is no known safe amount, safe time, or safe type of alcohol during pregnancy.
