Alcohol & Pregnancy: Any Cause For Worry If The Expectant Mother Took It Once? by justinajp(op): 11:55pm On Oct 06, 2018
I have read in several places that if a pregnant woman consume (alcohol ) liquor during pregnancy , it poses a lot of risk to the baby , a sister of mine when she was about 2 and half months pregnant ingested(drank) a small plastic bottle (40%) alcoholic content of Captain Jack after which she took some water , she is 5 months pregnant now and has not been taking any form of liquor , she was not taking alcohol before that incident and has not been taking alcohol after the incident , my question now is does she have anything to worry about since it was just a once that it happened ?? and she has since abstained after serious warning from trying such again . i appreciate meaningful contribution . from our health experts .

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.

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).

i very much appreciate you for taking out time to write a well thought out helpful response, she took two sachets of pure water immediately i told her about the danger involved she took it because it tasted nice (LOL) and she has not tasted such since then, thank you for your kind words of advise.

Fetal alcoholic syndrome not likely to occur since she just took it once.

The chances are high for women who are alcoholics.

Tasted nice?
Was that part of her cravings?
I know about other cravings for pregnant women but alcohol is definitely not one of them.

She shall be okay las las noni.

Taking alcohol during pregnancy could cause fetal alcohol syndrome
When a pregnant woman drinks alcohol, some of that alcohol easily passes across the placenta to the fetus. The body of a developing fetus doesn’t process alcohol the same way as an adult does. The alcohol is more concentrated in the fetus, and it can prevent enough nutrition and oxygen from getting to the fetus’s vital organs.
Damage can be done in the first few weeks of pregnancy when a woman might not yet know that she is pregnant. The risk increases if the mother is a heavy drinker.
According to many studies, alcohol use appears to be most harmful during the first three months of pregnancy. However, consumption of alcohol any time during pregnancy can be harmful,
