Study says that 1 in 20 kids in the womb were harmed by alcohol in United States.
Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder’s are a group of conditions that may include abnormal growth and facial features, intellectual disabilities and behavioral problems, according to the US centers for disease control and prevention. About one in 10 pregnant woman in the United States have at least one alcoholic beverage in the past 30 days while pregnant. That number is considerably higher compared other countries. A team of scientists identified the disorder by looking for combination of certain facial features and physical traits. There sometimes wasn’t proof of alcohol during pregnancy in some of their tests.
Drinking during pregnancy is one of the most common causes of intellectual ability. It affects many children’s living conditions while in the womb. Women don’t even know that they are pregnant, and drink alcohol and assume nothing is wrong which leads in to something very bad. This could turn in to a major in our world and the US especially with alcoholics.
This is such a sad study, to think that a mother would harm their child that way is terrible!

ReplyDeleteSo what we would need are for people who make drinks dileberatly for pregnant women. Like drinks no alcohol in it but taste like there is. And for the women who find out they’re pregnant to late, if we had better birth control options then these women wouldn’t even have to worry about having a baby.
