Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Drinking heavily during pregnancy can lead to cognitive and behavioral problems in the fetus due to impaired development of the central nervous system. Limb malformations and physical feature abnormalities are more commonly associated with exposure to teratogens during the first trimester, whereas heart malformations are more likely to occur if drinking occurs later in the pregnancy.
