Drinking alcohol, especially in the first 3 months of pregnancy, increases the risk of miscarriage, premature birth and your baby having a low birthweight. Drinking after the first 3 months of your pregnancy could affect your baby after they're born.
The risks are greater the more you drink. The effects include learning difficulties and behavioural problems. Drinking heavily throughout pregnancy can cause your baby to develop a serious condition called foetal alcohol syndrome FAS. Drinking less heavily, and even drinking heavily on single occasions, may be associated with lesser forms of FAS.
The risk is likely to be greater the more you drink. It may not be as difficult as you think to avoid alcohol completely during pregnancy, as many women go off the taste of alcohol early in pregnancy. Most women do give up alcohol once they know they're pregnant or when they're planning to become pregnant. According to Dr John Devlin, deputy chief medical officer at the Department of Health, women should "avoid" - he doesn't like to use the words abstain from - alcohol completely during pregnancy.
The risk at lower levels is not clear, so there is no safe lower limit when it comes to alcohol and pregnancy," he says, adding that the department is mindful of the rise in binge drinking, particularly among Irish teenagers. In addition to the abstention message, the Government is currently preparing legislation which will oblige drinks manufacturers here to follow the example of the US and France in printing health warnings aimed at pregnant women on alcoholic drinks.
The campaign to inform women about the risks associated with drinking alcohol was stepped up last year when a study published by the Coombe Hospital in Dublin found that two-thirds of women who attended there continued to drink while pregnant.
The study also found that one in 10 pregnant women drank more than six units of alcohol per week and that this pattern was more pronounced among those under the age of Speaking this week, the junior health minister, Mary Wallace, claimed that "everyone was aware of the advice not to smoke but there is much less awareness about the advice not to consume alcohol during pregnancy". But with the days of doctors urging pregnant women to drink Guinness to increase iron levels long behind us, it seems unimaginable that most women are not aware of the risks associated with drinking while pregnant.
The truth is that, just as some women continue to smoke, some women also choose to drink while pregnant. At the Coombe Hospital,, it is hard to find a single woman who is not aware of the warnings around alcohol from health authorities. Heather 17 , from Inchicore in Dublin, who has just given birth to a boy, said she tried two bottles of alcopops during her pregnancy.
Celine 23 , who had just had her first baby by Caesarean section after 14 hours in labour, knew there were concerns but says she "wasn't bothered" about drinking while she was pregnant. You would definitely stand out as a pregnant woman in a pub with a drink in your hand. My mam drank as normal, out drinking every Saturday night, on me and my sister, and we turned out okay.
