There was a family function and i had like one sip before i even knew i was pregnant, now im tension mein. I know its not allowed but i wanna understand why exactly its harmful. Anyone knows na?
Frankly, there is no safe limit or safe timing for alcohol when you are pregnant. It's just not worth the risk when you are working and managing your health, so skip it.
My doctor explained that alcohol can cause fetal alcohol syndrome, which leads to physical and mental development issues. It is best to stick to zero alcohol.
During my first appointment, the hospital staff strictly explained that alcohol passes directly through the placenta to the baby. They advised zero consumption for safety.
I am planning to conceive too, and my research says even minor amounts of alcohol can affect the baby's brain development. It's definitely best to completely avoid it.
