The effects of alcohol on the fetus
Dear steemians...
How are you all friends?
As for this time I will discuss a little about the danger of alcohol to the fetus.

The liver is one of the organs of the human body that takes the longest time to develop. The function of the new fetal heart is perfect at the later stages of pregnancy. When pregnant women consume alcohol, blood flow brings alcohol across the placenta to the fetus.
At this time, the baby's heart has not been able to process alcohol like an adult's body. If the alcohol content is too much, so it can affect the development of the baby's body cel.
Excessive drinking of alcohol during pregnancy, has a risk of damaging the baby's nervous system. This condition causes infants susceptible to fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS). FAS results in birth defects, learning difficulties and children's socialization issues as adults.
Eating more than 4 cans of beer per day during pregnancy may increase the risk of infants exposed to FAS. Children with FAS generally experience problems in the development of the body. For example the smaller head size, facial abnormalities, as well as disruption in learning and behaving, such as slow in speaking.
Although no studies can prove that small amounts of alcohol are harmful to the fetus, it would be better not to risk it at all. Avoiding drinking while pregnant remains a better choice than the risk of miscarriage or disability that can affect your baby.
