What alcohol limits are safe during pregnancy?



After reviewing the available information, it is clear that there is no completely safe amount of alcohol that can be consumed during pregnancy. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there is no known safe amount of alcohol use during pregnancy or while trying to get pregnant. All types of alcohol are equally harmful, including all wines and beer [3].

The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) states that alcohol can cause problems for the developing baby throughout pregnancy, particularly during the first 3 months [2]. Drinking alcohol during pregnancy can lead to fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASDs), a group of conditions that can occur in a person whose mother drank alcohol during pregnancy. These conditions can include physical problems and problems with behavior and learning [2].

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommends that women who are pregnant or trying to get pregnant should not drink alcohol [1]. This recommendation is supported by the World Health Organization (WHO) [1].

In summary, based on the available information, it is recommended that women who are pregnant or trying to get pregnant should not consume any alcohol, as there is no known safe amount or type of alcohol that can be consumed during pregnancy. Consuming alcohol during pregnancy can lead to fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASDs) and other physical, behavioral, and learning problems.
