[quote=Anonymous]I did, too, and my baby was early for unrelated reasons, and has delays. Of course, I always freak out about FASD. I found out at about 4 weeks in. I have researched it a lot, and while it is very unlikely your child would actually have FAS -- that is pretty recognizable at birth and the diagnosis is pretty strict, requires small percentile, small head, etc. -- FASD is blurry. There are so many kids with ADHD that it is impossible to pull out the case in most cases. One issue that does bother me is the whole "nature's way of protecting the baby" -- we are animals and its not like we evolved to drink alcohol. At the time this all evolved, there was probably no need to insulate the baby from tertrogens. So there is that. I did find, OP, that there is a nutritional component to FAS, they think -- most women who are well nourished and hydrated do not seem to be at risk. [/quote]
