It is not advisable to drink alcohol once it is known that there is a pregnancy, since it could have negative effects for both the mother and the baby.

It is advisable for pregnant women to avoid toxic habits during pregnancy, such as smoking, drinking alcohol or drinking large amounts of coffee daily, among others. In addition, it is advisable to follow a healthy and balanced diet so that no nutrient is lacking.
