#1 – Drinking Alcohol
Is it safe to drink alcohol during pregnancy? The answer is definitely a big No-No! Drinking alcohol can affect the mother’s health as well as that of the fetus. When pregnant women drink alcohol, it crosses the placenta and affects the fetus, causing what we call fetal alcohol syndrome.
This eventually leads the fetus to develop alcohol spectrum disorders that most of the time result in the following health problems: some physical abnormalities, behavioral problems, seizures, poor growth, developmental delays, intellectual disabilities, and more!
