Brain Wiring Development During gestation and nursing

[Bucko]

While I am sure that your intentions are good, the medical literature does not support your stance. Only 10% of blatant alcoholics ever give birth to a FAS (fetal alcohol syndrome) child. There is no medical data to show that a woman who drinks in moderation throughout pregnancy does any harm to her fetus.

That said, I do not encourage a female patient to drink during her pregnancy. I do present the data to her and let her make up her own mind based on available data. Many choose not to drink, many do.

I find it humorous how we as Americans feel that we must tell adults what is good for them, taking away personal responsibility from the equation.......
