The answer is: C
Low birth weight is the most frequent risk for a baby born to a mother who
drinks 2 oz of alcohol every day. This initial condition can include or be
followed by multiple developmental delays and physical difficulties such as
troubled breathing and sucking. Spontaneous abortion is another possible risk
for the fetus. Heavy drinking (four to six drinks a day) during pregnancy can
result in fetal alcohol syndrome. There is a rapid transfer of both ethanol and
acetyl aldehyde across the placenta that seriously affects fetal development.
This can result in retarded growth and physical abnormalities, including facial
changes with epicanthal eyefolds, poorly formed concha, small teeth with faulty
enamel, and cardiac septal defects. It can also result in an aberrant palmar
crease, limitation in joint movement, and microcephaly with mental retardation.
There is no known specific safe amount of alcohol consumption or specific time
of vulnerability during pregnancy. All references advise pregnant women to
completely refrain from alcohol consumption during their pregnancy.
