Extractions: "The alcohol-affected child is like a garden. Some seeds need to be planted year after year, like the carrots and the radishes. The seeds the birds carry away have to be replaced almost immediately. But there are bulbs that grow in the garden and every year they come up almost without tending. It can be too easy to see what failed to come up this year and step on the crocuses close to the ground. The important thing is to be thankful that there is a garden. It is not a wasteland."

Genetic/Metabolic - Fetal Alcohol Syndrome

Extractions: PIDL Home/ Contents Development Nutrition Acute Illness ... Psychosocial Genetic/Metabolic Disorders FETAL ALCOHOL SYNDROME In 1968 Lemoine first recognized the multiple effects that alcohol can have on the developing fetus. Alcohol is now appreciated as the most common major teratogen to which the fetus is liable to be exposed. Approximately 1 in 300 babies is born with fetal alcohol effects, with half of these having a complete fetal alcohol syndrome. It is also estimated that 10- 20% of moderate mental deficiency (IQ in the 50- 80 range) is a result of fetal alcohol exposure. Prenatal use of ethanol can result in a wide spectrum of fetal abnormalities. Current evidence would suggest that the average daily consumption of as little as two drinks per day, or periodic binge drinking in early pregnancy may be associated with recognizable abnormalities. The abnormalities seen in fetal alcohol syndrome involve a varying combination of the following features. There may be pre and postnatal onset growth retardation. There is an average IQ of approximately 63 and fine motor dysfunction manifested by weak grasp, poor eye- hand coordination, and tremulousness. There may be irritability in infancy progressing to hyperactivity in childhood. There is mild to moderate microcephaly, short palpebral fissures, and maxillary hypoplasia.

Extractions: (RealAudio 3.0; how to listen To have healthy, well-adjusted children like these, mothers must abstain from alcohol during pregnancy. It's a 25-year-old warning that hasn't been heard. Despite a 1981 Surgeon General's report on the risk of drinking while pregnant, many women still do. Perhaps they've never heard of the Surgeon General's report. Or maybe addiction makes it all too simple to ignore what now seems so logically true: If you're pregnant and you drink at all, "cocktails for two" means your baby and you. Fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) and the lesser-known fetal alcohol effects (FAE) are birth disorders brought on by alcohol consumption during pregnancy. They are irreversible. Fetal alcohol syndrome is the better known of the two. Characterized by physical abnormalities, children with FAS typically have small heads, small eyes and certain facial malformations. Children with fetal alcohol effect are not so easy to recognize, but they have the same behaviors that make getting along in the world extremely challenging. Alcohol-affected children have trouble with abstract concepts like time and money. They have difficulty generalizing, concentrating or learning from example. They may look both ways before crossing one street and forget on the next corner. They may solve the problem of an overflowing tub by closing the bathroom door.

However, it poses extreme and unique risks to the fetus and is associated with fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS). Timing of alcohol use during pregnancy is also of importance. Alcohol use during the first trimester is more damaging than during the second trimester, which is, in turn, more damaging than use in the third trimester. Alcohol ingested by a pregnant woman easily passes across the placental barrier to the fetus. Because of this, drinking alcohol can adversely affect the development of the baby.

Extractions: last a lifetime What is Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS)? Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, also called FAS, is the name given to a combination of mental and physical defects first evident at a babys birth and are a direct result of a woman drinking alcohol while she is pregnant. These defects continue throughout the rest of the childs life. What is Fetal Alcohol Effect (FAE)? Fetal Alcohol Effect shares some of the same characteristics as FAS, but is not as evident. However, babies with FAE have an equal amount of brain damage as babies with FAS. If you drink any amount of beer, wine, mixed drinks, liquor, or wine coolers, your baby is at risk. The chemicals in alcohol readily pass through the placenta so that the baby absorbs the same amount of alcohol as you do. However, in a small fetus with developing systems, even a small amount of alcohol can be devastating, possibly resulting in the most serious consequencemental retardation.
