Safe Level of Alcohol During Pregnancy

There is no known safe level of alcohol a pregnant woman can drink and not affect her baby. It is best to drink no alcohol at all-

• if you are trying to get pregnant,

• if there is a chance you could possibly be pregnant, or

• if you are pregnant.

Not all women who drink alcohol during pregnancy will have a child born with FAS. But not drinking alcohol is the only sure way to protect your baby from FAS, ARBD and ARND. If you are pregnant and have been drinking, stop drinking now to protect your baby. If you need help to stop drinking, talk with your health care provider.
