Some doctors allow pregnant women to drink alcohol while others don't. Who's right?
Dec 27, 2013

Dr. Ivana Dabaj Pediatric Neurology
Pregnant women should NOT drink alcohol because the baby might develop what we call "fetal alcohol syndrome". It consists of developmental delay, dysmorphic features (malformations), cardiac and cerebral malformations, behavioral problems, communication problems, etc. The degree of clinical manifestation depends on the time of alcohol intake and the quantity.
