ALCOHOL
and PREGNANCY
don’t mix.

Whether you are pregnant or trying to get pregnant, there is no guaranteed safe level of alcohol use.
Drinking any kind of alcohol during pregnancy such as red or white wine, beer and liquor can cause
multiple birth defects and developmental disabilities known as fetal alcohol spectrum disorders
(FASDs), including fetal alcohol syndrome. Fortunately, FASDs are 100% preventable if you don’t
drink at any time while pregnant. For more information, visit www.cdc.gov/fasd or call 800-CDC-INFO.
Stop drinking when you start trying.

amount of alcohol is safe
if you’re pregnant or
trying to get pregnant.
There is no guaranteed safe level of alcohol use during pregnancy or even when you’re trying to get pregnant.
And that means any kind of alcohol such as red or white wine, beer and liquor. Put simply, when you drink, your
baby drinks, and that can lead to fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASDs). FASDs include a wide range of physical
and mental disabilities and lasting emotional and behavioral problems. Fortunately, FASDs are 100% preventable.
By not drinking, you have the power to improve your child’s chances of a healthy start.
If you are pregnant and have been drinking, it’s never too late to stop. The sooner you stop drinking, the better it will
be for both you and your baby. If you are pregnant and have been drinking, talk to your doctor or nurse.

When you drink,
they drink.
When a pregnant woman drinks, so does her baby. So whether you are pregnant or trying to
get pregnant, there is no guaranteed safe level of alcohol use. Drinking any kind of alcohol during
pregnancy including red or white wine, beer and liquor can cause multiple birth defects and
developmental disabilities known as fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASDs), including fetal
alcohol syndrome. Fortunately, FASDs are 100% preventable if you don’t drink while pregnant.

I’d like to have a drink, but while I’m
pregnant, I’d rather do everything in my
power to protect the health of my child.
I’ve read there is no guaranteed safe level of alcohol consumption
during pregnancy. So from the time I started trying to get
pregnant, I stopped drinking any kind of alcohol. That meant red
and white wine, beer and liquor. It was hard at first, especially
in social situations where I would normally have a drink. But I’d
rather not take any chance of putting my child at risk for fetal
alcohol spectrum disorders (FASDs). I know that FASDs include
a wide range of physical and mental disabilities and lasting
emotional and behavioral problems. Since FASDs are 100%
preventable, by not drinking, I’m improving my child’s chances
of a healthy start. I may not be able to control everything during
my pregnancy, but this is one sure thing I can do. For more
information, visit www.cdc.gov/fasd or call 800-CDC-INFO.

There is no guaranteed safe level of alcohol use at any time during pregnancy or even when
you’re trying to get pregnant. And that means any kind of alcohol; red or white wine, beer,
and liquor. Since most women won’t know they’re pregnant until 4-6 weeks along, when you
drink, you could unknowingly be exposing your unborn baby to alcohol, which can lead to
fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASDs). FASDs include a wide range of physical and
mental disabilities and lasting emotional and behavioral problems. Fortunately, FASDs are
100% preventable. By not drinking, you have the power to improve your child’s chances of a

I’ve read there is no guaranteed safe level of alcohol consumption during pregnancy or even when you’re
trying to get pregnant. I may not know that I am pregnant until about 4 to 6 weeks along, so I decided to
stop drinking any kind of alcohol when I started planning to get pregnant. That meant red and white wine,
beer and liquor. It was hard at first, especially in social situations where I would normally have a drink.
When I do get pregnant, I do not want to take any chances at putting my unborn baby at risk for fetal alcohol
