FASD is an umbrella term describing the range of effects that can occur in an individual whose mother drank alcohol during pregnancy. Effectrs can include brain damage, facial anomalies, growth deficiencies, defects of the heart, kidneys, and liver, vision and hearing problems, skeletal defects, and dental abnormalities.
The good news is that FASD is 100% preventable; if a woman does not drink during pregnancy, her baby will not have an FASD.
