Drinking alcohol when not even a month pregnant?

Drinking alcohol during any stage of pregnancy is generally not recommended. Even a small amount of alcohol can have harmful effects on the developing fetus, including:

- Fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS): This is a group of birth defects that can occur when a woman drinks alcohol during pregnancy. FAS can cause a range of physical, mental, and behavioral problems, including:

- Growth retardation

- Facial deformities

- Heart defects

- Learning disabilities

- Behavioral problems

- Miscarriage: Alcohol can increase the risk of miscarriage, especially in the first trimester.

- Stillbirth: Alcohol can also increase the risk of stillbirth, which is the death of a baby before birth.

If you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, it is best to avoid alcohol completely. If you have any questions about alcohol consumption during pregnancy, talk to your doctor.

It's important to prioritize the health and well-being of your developing baby. Consulting with your doctor or healthcare provider can provide you with personalized advice and guidance regarding any potential risks or concerns during your pregnancy.
