Drinking during pregnancy puts baby at risk of epilepsy

Moms-to-be, please note -- make sure that you abstain from alcohol, for a new study says that drinking during pregnancy puts your baby at risk of epilepsy.

Researchers, led by Queens University in Ontario, have carried out the study and found that children born with a condition, caused by exposure to alcohol in the womb, are more likely to suffer from debilitating seizures.

In fact, according to the researchers, being exposed to alcohol while in the womb damages parts of the developing brain associated with seizures, the Daily Mail reported.

The study looked at 425 people aged between two and 49 who had foetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD). Fewer than one per cent of people developed epilepsy, but six per cent of those with FASD had it and 12 per cent had experienced at least one seizure, the findings revealed.

Dr Dan Savage, a neuroscientist at the University of New Mexico , said: "This report builds on a growing body of evidence that maternal drinking during pregnancy may put a child at greater risk for an even wider variety of neurological and behavioural health problems than we had appreciated before.

"The consensus recommendation of scientists and clinical investigators, along with public health officials around the world, is very clear -- a woman should abstain from drinking during pregnancy as part of an overall programme of good prenatal care."

The study has been published in the latest edition of the Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research journal.
