Foundation for Alcohol Research and Education (FARE) CEO Caterina Giorgi joins Midwife Cath to explain why women shouldn't drink during pregnancy.

Caterina and Cath discuss so much in this chat, including:

• Why there is no safe level of drinking alcohol whilst pregnant
• Why even drinking while you are trying to conceive can be dangerous for your baby
• The science behind the damage drinking while pregnancy can do, even if it's just one or two drinks per week
• Why there is still some confusion amongst women about whether they can drink or not during pregnancy
• What Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is and how it can impact people into adulthood
• What the partner's role is in all of this

This episode of ‘Birth, Baby & Beyond’ was made in partnership with the Foundation for Alcohol Research & Education.
