Mother to be, you better avoid drinking

Do not panic! If you have an occasional (one or two glasses of wine a week) drink in your pregnancy your child wont be born with "different abilties", but it may harm his/her IQ.

Researchers from Oxford and Bristol University looked at the IQ scores of 4.000 children as well at the drinking frequiency of their mothers. And  they found that the IQ of children whose mothers had an alcohol intake of one to six unites (glasses) was two points lower by the age of 8 than other kids whose mothers had avoid alcohol completely.

But a previous research demostrated that there is no connection between alcohol intake and the IQ of the baby.
The topic is still open, why do you think mothers take that risk?, eventhough they know that drinking is not good for them and their babies they say that "there is no harm in one glass of wine once a week". There are a lots of problems, not only a lower IQ. In the following video we will see some of those problems and how does is affects the baby in the womb.

Now that you know about this, that sometimes people seem to forget, do you any case of mothers driking while their pregnancy and her child has a problem mentioned in the video?
and are you 100% willing to give up drinking?
