No, FAS is an environmental disorder caused by the consumption of alcohol during pregnancy. If the mother is affected then the defects will not be passed on as they are environmental rather than genetic.

Does beer cause diarrhea in expecting mothers?

It can, yes. The diarrhea really isn't a big problem unless it persists for a few days, in which case you should see a doctor. What could very well be a problem is the drinking alcohol while pregnant. I'm sure you've heard that you're not supposed to drink alcohol while pregnant. Well, that doesn't just include booze, nor does it only include large amounts of alcohol. One drink could cause your child to have Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, which is characterized by both mental and physical defects. As hard as raising a child is, raising a fetal alcohol syndrome child is even harder. You're going to want to wait until the pregnancy is over before consuming any alcohol. By the way, I'm not trying to pass judgement, but the fact is that drinking alcohol, any alcohol while pregnant, is very, VERY dangerous to the baby.


Would the medications a man takes cause birth defects?

Why can't a pregnant woman drink alcohol?

The alcohol will pass through to the baby, which can cause premature delivery, birth defects, or even a miscarriage. Alcohol can damage the brain cells and limit the flow of oxygen to developing tissues. This scares me that you would not know this answer. FAS (Fetal alcohol syndrome) is very harmful to your baby. It can cause mental retardation and may other health problems that effect the child for life. Drinking small amounts of alcohol once a month or very infrequently is okay. But, to be completely safe, and keep your baby safe, I would obstain from all alcohol dring pregnancy.


Could toxins pass through the placenta to the embryo?

Yes, it is possible for this to happen and it can result in fetal death, miscarriage or stillbirth. However, there are several control points in the placenta to help reduce this risk, including the barriers between maternal circulation and fetal circulation.


Why can't you drink when your pregnant?

Short answer:If there is a possible possibility of something possibly happening to your baby when drinking alcohol, then why do it. There are No studies that actually prove drinking to be healthy to any baby. Not before it is born, not after it is born.Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders is "common" among babies born by alcohol consuming mothers. More information in the Wordy answer.Wordy answer:A study done by University College London (UCL) in England suggest that you can actually drink a little bit during pregnancy. One beer, at the most max two, a couple of times a week does according to this study not cause birth defects. Their statistical background material is considered substantial with data from approx 12.500 children and their mothers.Alcohol is a toxin. When you drink, it rapidly reaches your baby through your bloodstream and across the placenta. Too much alcohol can cause permanent damage to the cells of a developing baby. It can also cause problems during pregnancy, such as miscarriage and premature birth.Too much alcohol during pregnancy can change the way a baby's face, organs and brain develops. It can also affect the nervous system, which is why learning difficulties and lifelong problems with movement and coordination often result.The term for all these problems is fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD). It's called a spectrum because the problems can range from mild learning difficulties, through to birth defects.Full blown fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) is at the extreme end of the spectrum. Babies with FAS tend to have facial defects, to be born small and to carry on being small for their age as they grow up. These children have learning difficulties, poor coordination and behavioral problems, which they have to cope with for the rest of their lives. While FAS is uncommon, it is estimated that more than 6,000 children are born each year with FASD in the UK.

If your father and brother both had Asperger's Syndrome does this mean any children you have will be born with it?

No, it does not mean that all of your children will be born with autism or Asperger's Syndrome. However, because the condition has a genetic component, it means that there is a greater likelihood that you have that gene, in which case you might pass it on to some of your children. You can get tested for the gene if you want so you know if there's a possibility of passing it on to your children
