Alcohol Use in Pregnancy
Drinking alcohol during pregnancy refers to consuming alcoholic beverages at any stage of gestation. Alcohol crosses over to the baby and can interfere with their development.
Why it matters: No amount has been defined as safe, so the general recommendation during pregnancy is to avoid alcohol to protect the baby's development.
Possible repercussions: Exposure can affect growth and the development of the nervous system, with consequences that vary from case to case.
Which specialist provides guidance? The gynecologist follows up on the pregnancy and the pediatrician on the baby's well-being; if quitting alcohol proves difficult, the psychologist or the psychiatrist can support that process. If you are expecting a baby and have questions about alcohol use, talking about it openly with a health professional is a great help.
