Housecall for Health: Drinking While Pregnant is Okay

According to a new study, a few alcoholic beverages here and there might not be as harmful to pregnant women as previously thought.

FOX’s Colleen Cappon reports in today’s “Housecall for Health”:

For decades, pregnant women have passed on alcohol, fearing it would hurt their developing fetus.  But one study says there’s no need to worry.  New data from Denmark says that consuming as many as eight drinks a week during early pregnancy is not harmful to babies.

A large survey of mothers who consumed alcohol during pregnancy revealed by age five, their kids had the same level IQ and attention spans as children with moms who abstained from alcohol.
