Robin is 2½ months pregnant with her first child. She attends a bridal shower for a friend and welcomes the celebratory glass of champagne. Another friend quickly grabs the glass of bubbly from Robin’s hand, proclaims alcohol as a teratogen, and tells
her that drinking while pregnant can cause long-term problems for her future child. Robin thinks her friend is overreacting. Who is correct?
a) Robin’s friend is being overly dramatic as alcohol is not categorized as a teratogen.
b) Robin should recognize that experts consider alcohol a teratogen. Her friend is right and Robin should refrain from consuming any alcohol while pregnant.
c) Champagne is a very weak alcohol so Robin would be safe to drink a couple of glasses without fear of causing harm to her fetus.
d) Consuming alcohol very early in the pregnancy will not negatively impact the developing fetus, but drinking in the last month of pregnancy can cause problems with organ development.
