Whether you like it or not, whether you find it appealing or not, alcohol does damage to your body. So imaging what it can do to a newly developing human being. A fetus growing in its mother's womb exposed to alcohol could end up with what is called "Fetal Alcohol Syndrome" or FAS. It is so bad that they gave it a name!

It is said that about 4.7% of North American women who are pregnant are alcoholics. FAS is estimated to affect between 2% and 5% of people in the United States and Western Europe. An average of 5 out of every 1000 births in the States is affected with FAS. Got your attention now, HUH?!

The main problem with FAS is that is affects the Central Nervous System. It is basically the system responsible in out body with sensation, movement and cognitive thinking. They may suffer from seizures, inability to do fine movements like writing. Many also suffer from stunted growth.

To be out in the clear, there is no current treatment fro FAS! The only way to treat it...is by preventing it. STOP DRINKING ALCOHOL WHILE PREGNANT!!!!

I hope this post can find you well. I hope that it may be the cause of convincing an alcoholic pregnant mother to stop drinking and committing a crime in terms of her unborn child.
