Detailed explanation-1: -There is no known safe amount of alcohol use during pregnancy or while trying to get pregnant. There is also no safe time for alcohol use during pregnancy. All types of alcohol are equally harmful, including all wines and beer.
Detailed explanation-2: -However, the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG) says that no amount of alcohol during pregnancy is considered safe, since it’s linked to behavioral and learning difficulties, birth defects, fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD), and other risks.
Detailed explanation-3: -Mineral water, tonic water, water from plastic bottles, juices, smoothies, and sweetened carbonated drinks are all safe to drink during pregnancy in moderation, while coffee and tea are safe as long as they’re limited. The drinks to categorically avoid during pregnancy include alcohol, unpasteurized milk, and kombucha.
Detailed explanation-4: -These effects can be magnified especially during the first and third trimester of pregnancy when the baby is growing rapidly. Alcohol consumption in the first trimester of pregnancy, which is a crucial developmental stage of fetal growth, can have serious consequences.
