SummaryA pregnant woman is at risk of many health problems especially because she is actually having two lives to take care of, herself and the unborn child inside her. This is the reason that a woman should be extra careful in all the activities she engage in, in order to protect both herself and the baby. However, at times, a woman can be very careless an irresponsible of her body that she still resort to vices such as drinking alcoholic beverages even if by conventional wisdom, she should know that this may be harmful not just to herself but more to her child. As a result of the mother’s irresponsibility, it is the child who bears the greatest weight. Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) “is a set of physical and mental birth defects that can result when a woman drinks alcohol during her pregnancy” (National Organization on Fetal Alcohol Syndrome [NOFAS], 2004).
