FAS is a group of birth defects that can occur in a child whose mother drank alcohol during pregnancy. The effects of alcohol on a developing fetus can vary depending on the amount of alcohol consumed, the timing of alcohol consumption, and other factors.

The first trimester of pregnancy is a critical time for fetal development, and alcohol exposure during this time can cause serious problems, including:
* Miscarriage
* Stillbirth

FAS can cause a range of physical, mental, and behavioral problems, including:
* Facial abnormalities, such as a small head, flattened nose, and wide-set eyes
* Growth problems
* Intellectual disabilities
* Behavioral problems, such as hyperactivity and attention deficit disorder
* Learning disabilities
* Vision and hearing problems
* Heart defects
