Last year alone, 272 children were hospitalized in England for Foetal Alcohol Syndrome which them totally disabled according to the official Health and Social Care Information Centre.
But the actual number affected by their mother' s drinking could be far greater, experts have warned.
"Research by the World
Health Organization suggests that at least one in 100 babies born in the
UK could suffer learning, behavioral and physical problems such as
deformed limbs because of exposure to alcohol", according to the Sunday People.
Elizabeth Mitchell, of the National Organization for Foetal Alcohol Syndrome, told Nicola Fifield reporter, "Children born with the syndrome don't get better. They are brain damaged. It is an enormous problem and one that is terribly sad and vastly under-diagnosed".
Issues that also relates to the consumption of alcohol during pregnancy are cerebral lalsy, heart, liver and kidney problems, loss of sight and even epilepsy.
As a pregnant mom, it is advised you stay away from alcohol during pregnancy for the sake of your innocent child who did not beg to be brought to this world. The only way you can show you are a Super Mom is to do your best and sacrifice some habit for that child you are carrying in your womb.

wow...nice to know
Nice post. Atleast pregnant moms should know the dangers facing their kids due to excess intake of alcoholic drinks. Kudos
Nigeria women will not be really affected with this because they hardly take wine and if they will make that mistake to take wine during Pregnancy it will be less than 10%
Thank for this post
Most problems encountered by infants are caused by the mother, either during pregnancy or child birth.
Exactly! Expectant moms need to do their best to bring normal and mentally sound kids to the world.
So sad how innocent children suffer their mum's recklessness
