Awareness for Fetal Alcohol Syndrome

🎗️ Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) Awareness
🚨 What Is Fetal Alcohol Syndrome?
FAS is a serious condition that occurs in babies when their mothers consume alcohol during pregnancy. It is the most severe form of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD).

📊 Key Facts:
100% preventable — no amount of alcohol is safe during pregnancy.

Affects 1 in 1,000 to 1 in 100 live births worldwide.

Alcohol can harm a fetus at any stage of pregnancy — even before a woman knows she is pregnant.

🧠 Signs & Symptoms:
Distinct facial features (e.g., small eye openings, smooth philtrum, thin upper lip)

Growth deficiencies (before or after birth)

Learning disabilities

Poor coordination or motor skills

Behavior issues (e.g., hyperactivity, poor impulse control)

Speech and language delays

👩‍⚕️ Prevention:
Avoid all alcohol during pregnancy.

If planning to become pregnant, stop drinking ahead of time.

If you’re struggling with alcohol use, seek help early.

💡 How You Can Help:
Share accurate information on social media.

Support pregnant women and new mothers with education and resources.

Advocate for FASD screening and diagnosis in healthcare settings.

Encourage alcohol-free activities and environments.

📆 FASD Awareness Day:
September 9th — Chosen to represent the 9 months of pregnancy.
