Is It Dangerous To Drink Whilst Pregnant?

Answer Question

2 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Yes, it is dangerous to consume alcohol while pregnant, as the result may be the babies' growth and development being affected. For pregnant women, the alcohol consumption limit is set to one or two units per week (as opposed to two units per day under normal circumstances). Following these guidelines will make sure that the baby is protected from any side effects or diseases caused by drinking or consuming alcohol. However this limit of one or two units per week cannot be completely trusted, therefore it is advisable and better not to drink while pregnant.

    Consuming alcohol in general is not safe as one can easily be affected by liver diseases even if they consume small amounts of alcohol. Therefore keeping health issues in mind, women should avoid drinking or getting drunk. While pregnant rather than risk losing out on the life of their unborn child and affect one's own health, it is better to stay off liquor for some time.
