What is FASD or Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder?

Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder  is the term used for the range of problems that can occur in a baby when a mother drinks alcohol during her pregnancy. 

• Alcohol can cause permanent birth defects and brain damage. 

• Children with FASD will not out-grow these problems.

If you are pregnant or planning a pregnancy, it is safest not to drink any alcohol because no amount of alcohol has been proven safe.
