When you’re pregnant, having clear, trustworthy information matters. Understanding how alcohol, tobacco, medications, and other substances may affect you and your baby can help you make informed decisions, #HealthLiteracyMonth #Pregnancy #Emory #MSACD

Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASDs) are a group of diagnosable medical conditions that can occur in a person who was exposed to alcohol before birth. Effects are lifelong and can include mental health conditions, learning disabilities, and physical manifestations. #emory #fasd #msacd

FASDs are described as a spectrum because prenatal alcohol exposure affects each person differently. Every individual has a unique combination of strengths, challenges, and support needs, so no two people with FASD have the same experience. #FASD #Emory #MSACD

Your child's development begins while you are pregnant. It's important to stay active, eat nutritious meals, stay hydrated, and avoid using alcohol and tobacco. Talking, reading, and singing to your baby are beneficial to them even before they are born. #childdevelopment #baby #emory #msacd

Child development refers to the ways your baby grows and changes. Parents can support their baby's development by keeping their baby safe, nourished, and by engaging them in conversation. #childdevelopment #prevention #msacd #emory #talktoyourbaby
