RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Is it all right to drink a little during pregnancy? JF Canadian Family Physician JO Can Fam Physician FD The College of Family Physicians of Canada SP 1643 OP 1644 VO 50 IS 12 A1 Koren, Gideon A1 Caprara, Daniella A1 Jacobson, Sheila A1 Chan, Daphne A1 Porter, Kelly YR 2004 UL http://www.cfp.ca/content/50/12/1643.abstract AB QUESTION: When I told a female patient who just transferred from another city to abstain from alcohol during pregnancy, she was surprised. She mentioned that, in the past, several doctors had told her it was all right to drink moderately. I am confused. Have I missed something? ANSWER: No, you have not. Women should be advised to abstain from alcohol during pregnancy. There are insufficient data to suggest a safe threshold for fetal alcohol exposure.
