ANY amount of alcohol in ANY drink may harm your unborn baby. If you're pregnant, don't drink alcohol!

How many drinks can I have before I hurt my baby?
NO ONE KNOWS! Why take a chance with your baby's health?

ANYTHING with any alcohol in it may cause your baby to be born deformed, or with problems that won't show up until later. These problems can affect your child for a lifetime.

Here's Why...
Illnesses such as Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) and Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE) come from drinking alcohol while pregnant, and can affect your baby with the following

    �Mental Retardation
    �Hyperactivity
    �Learning Disabilities
    �Heart Defects
    �Deformed Face and Limbs

You need to know...
Alcohol-Related Birth Defects Can Be Permanent. Even a mild form of FAE can affect your baby...making it hard to learn in school. Your child may even have mood swings and be unable to make social adjustments.

Give Your Baby a chance, START NOW!
If you're pregnant, and you've been drinking toddies, sips, 40's or nips, any amount of alcoholic drink... STOP NOW.

What if I am pregnant right now?
If you think you may ever want to become pregnant, stop drinking. Your body will be healthier, and your baby will have a healthy place to grow before birth.

Drinking is NOT cool
And if you are pregnant, it is not only NOT cool...it can be harmful to your body and to your unborn child.

What if I Can't Stop or I'm Pregnant?
CALL US Today! We can help.
