So this woman having a rum and coke at a party in her 7th month means her babay will have FAS? I don't think so.



Quote:
Possible FAS Symptoms:
  • Growth deficiencies: small body size and weight, slower than normal development and failure to catch up.
  • Skeletal deformities: deformed ribs and sternum; curved spine; hip dislocations; bent, fused, webbed, or missing fingers or toes; limited movement of joints; small head.
  • Facial abnormalities: small eye openings; skin webbing between eyes and base of nose; drooping eyelids; nearsightedness; failure of eyes to move in same direction; short upturned nose; sunken nasal bridge; flat or absent groove between nose and upper lip; thin upper lip; opening in roof of mouth; small jaw; low-set or poorly formed ears.
  • Organ deformities: heart defects; heart murmurs; genital malformations; kidney and urinary defects.
  • Central nervous system handicaps: small brain; faulty arrangement of brain cells and connective tissue; mental retardation -- usually mild to moderate but occasionally severe; learning disabilities; short attention span; irritability in infancy; hyperactivity in childhood; poor body, hand, and finger coordination.
So tell me which one of this is an 'acceptable' risk for having a drink during pregnancy?
