What happens if you drink during pregnancy?

I overheard some women talking about pregnancy and alcohol, and it got me worried. What actually happens to the baby and the mother if you drink alcohol during pregnancy?

Alcohol is very toxic for the delicate life growing inside you. During pregnancy, keeping your body pure and calm through healthy food and gentle breathing is so important. Please avoid alcohol completely for the baby's safety.

Alcohol can severely affect your liver, thyroid, and overall hormonal balance, which is already under high stress during pregnancy. For the safety of your pregnancy, please stay away from alcohol and ensure you are getting your routine scans and blood tests done on time.

Hey, please don't take even a single sip of alcohol during these nine months. It directly crosses the placenta and can cause severe developmental and physical issues in the baby, known as Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. Let's keep the baby absolutely safe, okay?

My gynecologist explicitly warned me that there is no safe limit or safe time for alcohol consumption during pregnancy. It can lead to miscarriage, premature delivery, and permanent cognitive defects in the child. It is strictly advised to completely abstain.

I know party nights can feel boring without a drink, but it is just not worth the risk for the baby. You can try some amazing mocktails, fresh coconut water, or fruit juices instead when you have cravings. Skip the alcohol completely!
