Can you kill baby by drinking?
Heavy drinking for a long period of time will increase the risk for miscarriage but most likely will the fetus get Fetal Alcohol Syndrome.
What is FAS?
Fetal alcohol syndrome. There is no scientific support for the type of widespread hysteria that permeates public discussion on fetal alcohol syndrome. Many people falsely believe that even a single drink during pregnancy can cause FAS. If this were true, the majority of the populations of dozens of countries around the world would suffer the effects of FAS! Some pregnant women have actually become frantic upon realizing they had inadvertently eaten salad that had wine vinegar dressing, fearing their children would be born suffering from fetal alcohol syndrome. Of course, wine vinegar, being vinegar, contains no alcohol. In reality there is absolutely no evidence that light drinking, even on a daily basis, leads to fetal alcohol syndrome. Actually, most women who are light or moderate drinkers choose not to drink during pregnancy. The real problem is found among frequent heavy drinkers, who most often are alcoholics consuming heavily on a daily basis throughout their pregnancies. Additionally, those who give birth to FAS children characteristically smoke, use illegal drugs, are frequently malnourished, and rarely receive adequate medical care during pregnancy. And drinking during pregnancy has not declined among such women over time. Because of their addiction, these women are virtually immune to our current educational approach. This may also be because so many of these women are poorly educated and often lead marginal lives. This is the target group to which our efforts and resources need to be directed in a massive drive to get these women the necessary help and treatment. It will not be cheap or easy, but it is essential if we seriously want to reduce the incidence of fetal alcohol syndrome.
What facts about FAS are false?
False facts about Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) may include claims that drinking in moderation during pregnancy is safe, that only heavy drinking can cause FAS, or that certain types of alcohol are safer to consume. It is important to note that no amount of alcohol is considered safe during pregnancy and any form of alcohol consumption can potentially harm the developing baby.

What affect can drinking alcohol have on a unborn baby in the 3 trimester?
THERE IS DEFINATE RESEARCH AND DATA that shows that drinking during pregnancy puts at risk of having a baby born with F.A.S. (fetal alcohol syndrome). Medium to heavy drinking during a pregnancy can cause damage to a growing fetus; physical deformities: smaller heads, smaller eyes that seemed "webbed" (resembles a child's eyes that has Down syndrome), slower growth and development, thin flat upper lip (no crease), and ALSO things you can't see: possible heart damage, emotional problems; impulse control problems, learning problems, most have some degree of mental retardation....I worked with a young boy with FASand it wasn't easy. He was loveable and pretty smart, but his problems were MANY. AND if the drinking is not severe enough to cause FAS, the baby can be born with a milder case called F.A.E. These children are born without the physical deformities, however they also have problems that are not immediately evident: learning problems and other emotional problems.....IT REALLY ISN'T A GOOD THING TO DRINK ALCOHOL WHILE PREGNANT!! <<>>peaunuts are yucky and you are gay
How much damage can be done if drinking while pregnant in the first trimester?
First you should put the bottle down before asking such a question...maybe you can spell correctly then! OF COURSE drinking alcohol can harm the baby. You should not be drinking at all. Everything you ingest the baby does as well. Please make sure everything that goes into your body is healthy and will help that precious baby grow strong and big.
What individuals are most prone to contract Mallory-Weiss syndrome?
The condition was originally diagnosed in alcoholics and is associated with heavy alcohol use, although it can also be found in patients who are not alcoholics.
Can you get the shakes if you drink too much alcohol?
Yes, consuming too much alcohol can lead to tremors or "the shakes," especially during withdrawal after heavy drinking. This is often a symptom of alcohol withdrawal syndrome, which can occur in individuals who are dependent on alcohol. The shakes can also result from the depressant effects of alcohol on the nervous system, disrupting normal motor function. If someone experiences severe symptoms, it's important to seek medical attention.
Could your baby be born with Asperger's Syndrome?
Most cases of autism or Asperger's Syndrome have nothing to do with prenatal exposure to drugs. I must emphasize this.A mother who uses drugs while pregnant is a little more likely to give birth to a child with autism or a related disorder than one who does not use drugs. For example, children with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome - caused by heavy drinking during pregnancy - are more likely to have autistic traits. Also, certain seizure medications have been associated with autism in a few cases.Still, please do not assume anything about parents or families of children with any type disabilities (some people do). Like I mentioned, the great majority of mothers of children with Asperger's Syndrome had nothing to do with drugs while pregnant. The exact causes of autism and Asperger's Syndrome are unknown, but it does run in families so there is probably a genetic component.
Can heavy alcohol drinking cause a kidney infection?

How does alcohol influence the baby in the womb?
When a pregnant woman drinks alcohol, so does her baby. Drinking may harm her developing baby. (Fetus) Alcohol passes from the mother's blood, into the babies blood. It can damage and affect the growth of the babies cells. Studies do not yet show that it is safe for a pregnant woman to drink even a small amount, as different babies react differently to even the tiniest bit of alcohol. Although the risk is higher with heavy alcohol use- any amount of alcohol may affect your developing baby. You may be able to prevent FASD (Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder) by not drinking at all when you are pregnant. Hope this helps. :)
