New U.K. research has found that drinking during pregnancy could increase a child's risk of mental health problems, especially anxiety, depression, and behavioral problems.

Led by researchers at the University of Bristol, the new review looked at 33 studies carried out in the U.K., U.S., Australia, Scandinavia, Canada, and Taiwan to investigate whether alcohol consumption during pregnancy could affect a child's mental health at age three or older.

The 33 studies included in the review looked at a range of mental health outcomes, including anxiety/depression, emotional problems, internalizing problems , and conduct disorder, a disorder which occurs in children and teenagers and includes a range of antisocial behaviors.

Running out of new things to talk about I see

Wow. NEWSFLASH!!

how ignorant and hateful women are who dare to risk unborn Baby's lives!!

Why would anyone drink during pregnancy? If you can't go without drinking for 9 months, then you shouldn't be having a baby. No excuses.

No shit....🙄

Duh!!!!

Well duh, how much did this study cost.

Well, duh!

Didn't they figure this out in the late sixties?

Hopefully this study was privately funded. I certainly do not want to be funding foregone conclusions.

You don’t say 😒

duh

Shouldn't drink while your pregnant. Would you give your infant alcohol? There's tons of criticism for drugs and smoking but a glass of wine or two is ok? The alcohol double standard is ridiculous.

Who told ya Geez thought most would ha e known that one...
