The National Drug Strategy Household Survey 2019 found that 35% of women drank alcohol while pregnant, a figure which has been reducing over the last two decades. However, research which dug deeper found that a much higher 59% of Australian women drank at some point during their pregnancy, with most of these women stopping as soon as they found out they were pregnant. These early weeks before a pregnancy is recognised pose a big risk for negative birth outcomes including FASD. This study found that 18.5% of Australian women binge drank before realizing that they were pregnant. No woman intentionally harms her child, and no woman is to blame for the birth of a child with FASD. More information is needed to ensure that everyone understands the risks of alcohol use and unplanned pregnancy.
