Don't think so, but what is bad is bad, whether pregnant or not, taking alcohol is bad and not healthy for the body system.

I don't think there should be any cause for alarm. Chances of birthing a baby with foetal alcohol syndrome are slim to none because she consumed the liquor once.

Fetal achohol syndrome isn’t the only issue that can arise from alcohol consumption during pregnancy. In the first trimester, when the fetus is rapidly developing, even a drop of alcohol can lead to severe deformities. Please do some research.

Nothing wrong in taking alcohol during pregnancy!!
I know someone that drinks beer anytime she is pregnant!!

How old are you? 5?

She is save since it is just once. What if she doesnot even know that she was pregnant at that time and she took alcohol many times! She is save. The truth is what you dont know dont hurt. Nothing would happen to the baby since she stopped.

The baby should be fine.. No cause for alarm
Re: Alcohol & Pregnancy: Any Cause For Worry If The Expectant Mother Took It Once? by frozen70(f): 3:06pm On Oct 07, 2018
From my practical experience

She shouldn't be worried in as much as she is not a habitual drinker

Pregnancy can make you take what you have never tested

She has successfully passed her first trimester and she is good to go on

Once she is feeling fine and the baby is kicking no wahala about it

Even, that will make her sleep soundly, lol

Jesu!!

I no talk like that o

But on a serious not Heineken especially chilled one during pregnancy is just the best for me.

My husband uses to buy it because he said when I take the beer I stop shouting.

When I pregnant I'm usually angry for no apparent reason

Nothing will happen to her. Though might make the baby feel weak for some hours. After is out of her body, expectant mother and baby will be fine. Above all, she should abstain from it.

Case of deform to be alarmed



Make she no go born deformed baby



My aunty in Abuja drank alcohol when she was pregnant like she wanted to remove the baby

She end up giving birth to a cripple baby

The baby is 4 years now but still like a new born baby





I pray nothing happens to your own IJN

just wondering the level of hatred that will exist between mother & child in future should the child find out what crippled her.

Every substance is a poison the dose differentiates a poison from what is not--- Paracelsus. I av every right to believe your sister is okay and you have nothing to worry about because
1. She is not a chronic alcoholic, from what you wrote
Above that is her first time, the body will find a way to neutralize this toxins ( alcohol)
2. You also pointed out that she took a small plastic bottle of alcohol after which she also took water. She is safe if she doesn't return back to bottle.

Digressing a little bit, scientist believed that a bottle of alcohol a day is good for the body, the problem is that we abuse it, although the former was proved recently in August that no amount of alcohol is good . (lancet 23 August , 2018).

You go school ooo

@OP, anyone who takes 40% alcohol in pregnancy is a chronic alcoholic until proven otherwise. And proof is not in their say so. Since she was >2months pregnant, its likely she is still taking it though she might be taking weaker stuff. Fetal alcohol syndrome is just one worry for her. The possibility of chronic liver disease/dysfunction is another. There are others, including postnatal depression but the best bet is to engage a competent obstetrician in a well staffed hospital for good care. Talking to your sister is only a palliative. wish you all the best.

To be frank with you..... There's a possibility it might damage the child..... Or lets say it will reduce the childs growth and weaken his development as in my case

Alcohol in a bottle cap makes me dizzy. I never liked the smell either, so I didn't take it. Throughout my pregnancy, I had this serious craving for alcohol that I take a sachet everyday then graduated to hiding a full bottle in my room. I finish it in 4-5 days until I delivered. Nothing happened to my baby.

Over 2 yrs I delivered, I hsvr not tasted it again.

Body difference matters too

Reminds me of my friend who had a serious craving for beer when she was 9months pregnant. She drank and drank until she was caught. They just noticed that beer was just disappearing from the fridge till she was caught red handed cheesy.

The baby is fine and will be 2 soon.

Alcohol is great for the mind, but hurts the physical organs in a poisonous way, but the liver is the first line of defense, so do not be bothered, the alcohol went through the liver is totally de-hydroxylized before it goes into the blood stream.

The baby and the mother are fantastic.
Sir what legal substance do you recommend in substitute to alcohol? since it's poisonous to our organs.
