Judith, who is pregnant with her first child, is aware of the devastating consequences associated with heavy alcohol use during pregnancy. However, she believes that having a few glasses of wine a week is safe and may actually be good for her during the pregnancy. According to research on alcohol use during pregnancy, is Judith correct? Why or why not?
What will be an ideal response?
Scientists have yet to determine if there is a safe level of drinking. However, research to date suggests that pregnant women be cautious. Even less than one drink per day has been associated with poor fetal growth and preterm delivery. The only way for Judith to be certain of avoiding alcohol-related risks is to avoid alcohol altogether.
