Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Research Paper

Fetal Alcohol Syndrome is an environmental birh defect that is caused by the amount of alcohol in take of the mother, even though there is no safe amount of alcohol to drink while pregnant all amounts affect the baby differently. No woman should be drinking while they’re pregnant anyway just to keep their baby safe. Although fetal alcohol syndrome can be prevented by not drinking alcohol at all while you are pregnant like the doctor tells you to.

Fetal Alcohol Syndrome has several symptoms such as a small head, below average height and weight, hyperactivity, lack of focus, poor coordination, poor judgement, heart problems, deformed limbs and fingers, mood swings, and etc. They don’t really have a treatment for fetal alcohol syndrome but

they have medication that treats some of the symptoms. They also have ways to help kids with this birth defect learn to deal with it in there everyday life.
It would be very hard to live with this birth defect because you could have so many problems, that prevent you from having a normal life. Like if you have heart problems because you have fetal alcohol syndrome it could prevent you from playing sports or other activities that cause you to be more active. Just like most of the other symptoms they would probably prevent you from doing so many things that you could do without them. Some kids even get put into special education because of the symptoms they have from fetal alcohol syndrome that slows their learning or causes them not to stay focused. So just be careful what you do while your pregnant because it may not affect you but it can greatly affect your child.
