my step sons mother drank while pregnant with him and while he did not have fetal alcohol syndrome he has EXTREME behavioral issues, he is hyperactive, impulsive - I really do feel like it was caused by her lifestyle while she was pregnant with him. Why even take that chance?
Fetal Alchohol Syndrome is almost guaranteed if you drink during pregnancy, even if it's just "occasional" drinking. There is no safe amount of alcohol you can drink. Fetal brain development damage can occur with just one drink.
I agree with texas, read up on it.
Are you talking about yourself here?
Google Fetal Alchohol Syndrome and you will find all the answers. Yes, it is known to cause brain damage among other things.
