Why Avoid port_wine During Pregnancy?

The concern with port wine, as with any alcoholic beverage, is the alcohol content. Alcohol can cross the placenta, meaning whatever you drink, your baby receives too. This could affect the baby's development, potentially leading to conditions like fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASDs), which impact the baby's physical, behavioral, and learning characteristics. Despite the allure of relaxing with a glass of port wine, the known risks during pregnancy make abstaining the best choice.
