Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, or FAS, is a life long yet preventable set of
physical, mental and neurobehavioral birth defects brought on by the
consumption by the mother during pregnancy. Researchers don’t know yet

then affect the cell division and growth after conception. Fetal
Effect or FAE is a child born with the same symptoms as Fetal Alcohol
Syndrome. In contrast the only difference between Fetal Alcohol
children and Fetal Alcohol Effect is that FAE mothers were found to
drank smaller amounts of alcohol then the mothers of FAS. The
diagnosed Fetal Alcohol Syndrome about twenty years ago.
Fetal Alcohol Effects births are more common then Fetal Alcohol
both are very preventable diseases/disorders. There are .5 to 3 Fetal

People don’t realize that the women most likely to give birth to
damaged
babies are NOT affected by the message directed at the middle class. Babies or children with FAS may even need surgery to fix some
of
the deformities such as their face, sex organs, and muscles. Many FAE children demand and expect immediate gratification;
they
always have to have their way and are willing to do anything to have
it.
Birth defects associated with prenatal alcohol exposure can occur in
the
first three to eight weeks of pregnancy, before a woman even knows that
she

last
thirteen weeks. They have mood swings,
which
can be passive and then withdrawn the next minute and switching to
violent
temper tantrums the next. Many of Fetal Alcohol Effect
people
have a spotty memory, they can remember something from one year ago,
but not
something from the other day or yesterday.
The damage that the alcohol does to the brain is long term and cannot
be
fixed.
Growth deficiency is one of the most common physical defects of Fetal
Alcohol Syndrome. FAS children need structure,
need
set limits, and always need someone watching them. They are also
