Britain researchers have suggested that reasonable amount of wine drunk by expecting women after three months of pregnancy; do not harm their fetuses.

In the past, the majority of scientists pointed out that alcohol consumed by expecting women could harm fetuses.

The other risks indicated by earlier studies included foetal alcohol syndrome that affects around 100 babies every year and results in low birth weight, flattened features, heart and kidney abnormalities, deafness and brain damage.

The new guideline issued by Britain’s National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence has told that intake of 1.5 units of alcohol each day by pregnant women is not dangerous.

In place of cutting out alcohol altogether, pregnant women should limit their consumption. But, the principle stated that women should keep away from alcohol in the first three months of pregnancy as it may raise the miscarriage risk.
