PREGNANCY & ALCOHOL USE

 Prenatal alcohol exposure can permanently impact fetal development causing birth defects and brain injury. Individuals with prenatal alcohol exposure are at risk of having fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) - a neurodevelopmental disability with a wide range of effects that can be prevented by abstaining from alcohol during pregnancy.
