Planning a Pregnancy? Is it Safe to Consume Alcohol?
Planning a pregnancy? It’s important for you to be in the best physical and mental shape to have a healthy, happy baby. This may mean you need to consider how much alcohol you and your partner intake and how this may affect your chances of conceiving a baby.
The National Health and Medical Research Council recommends that if you are planning a pregnancy, you are pregnant or breastfeeding, ‘it is safest not to drink alcohol’.
If you need to talk to someone about the risks of consuming alcohol before, during or whilst breastfeeding call the Australian Government’s Pregnancy, Birth and Baby Helpline on 1800 882 436.
If you are concerned about your own drinking, consult your General Practitioner or seek advice from your health care provider.
