Did you know that *when a woman takes a drink when she's pregnant, the developing baby gets that same amount of alcohol? There is no "filter" with alcohol. Whatever mom drinks, baby drinks.
*The central nervous system is forming from day 1 to delivery in a fetus. Alcohol can affect the brain's development at any time during pregnancy causing PERMANENT brain damage.
*There is a chart here: http://www.fasdcenter.samhsa.gov/documents/WYNK_Effects_Fetus.pdf that shows the stages of development in a fetus.
*FASD is the leading cause of mental retardation in the United States.
