Should a woman drink alcohol if she believes is in week two of pregnancy?
No, a woman should not drink alcohol if she believes is in week two of pregnancy.
Alcohol can pass through the placenta and reach the baby, leading to fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS). FAS is a group of birth defects that can include physical, mental, and behavioural problems.
There is no known safe amount of alcohol to drink during pregnancy. Even small amounts of alcohol can harm the baby. It is important to avoid alcohol completely during pregnancy, from the moment of conception until birth.
If you are pregnant or think you might be pregnant, talk to your doctor about alcohol and other substances that can harm the baby.
