Drinking alcohol during the first month of pregnancy can lead to a range of developmental issues for the fetus, as this is a critical period for organ formation. Exposure to alcohol can increase the risk of fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD), which can result in physical, behavioral, and cognitive impairments. Even small amounts of alcohol can affect the developing brain and lead to lifelong challenges. It is generally advised that women avoid alcohol entirely during pregnancy to ensure the best outcomes for fetal health.
