Doctors from Germany spoke about the effect of alcoholic beverages on the fetus depending on the gestational age of the mother. This confirms the arguments in favor of the fact that there is no safe dose of alcohol.

Experts advise women to give up alcohol, even if there is only a suspicion of pregnancy or they have a specific intention to conceive a baby. In the first trimester of an interesting position, the embryo is especially sensitive. In connection with this, there is a high risk of developing facial malformations in the fetus when the mother consumes even wine, as well as visual impairments and other organs, since alcohol disrupts the growth and reproduction of cells. A direct effect on the brain is manifested, which is associated with a significant deterioration in the mental development of the child.

From the fourth to the sixth month, the probability of miscarriage increases. At the last stage of pregnancy, the growth rate of the fetus slows down significantly if the mother continues to drink alcohol. In addition, brain growth is still at risk, which will be reflected in the level of intelligence. In extreme cases, the child may have serious injuries that he struggles with all his life: general underdevelopment, physical malformations, behavioral disorders.

“Pregnant women need to give up alcohol so as not to endanger the fetus. The ideal solution is the solidarity of the parents' refusal with leading a healthy lifestyle. “There is no safe dose of alcohol, the effects are impossible to predict,” the doctors noted.
