An Australian children's health research organisation has released 'Alcohol and Pregnancy and Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder: a Resource for Health Professionals'. The guidance aims to provide practitioners with information and guidance for identifying and providing support relating alcohol use and pregnancy and preventing Foetal Alcohol Syndrome.
Currently the Department of Health recommends that 'Pregnant women or those trying to conceive are being advised to avoid drinking alcohol, and not to get drunk.' (see more here).
The UK organisation Foetal Aware Syndrome UK also provides a range of resources and information.
