Now and then a glass of wine or beer: one in twenty women occasionally drinks alcohol during her pregnancy, according to research by Erasmus MC. According to the researchers, this is a bad development.
Erasmus MC has developed a new test that allows them to see whether pregnant women have drunk alcohol in the past two weeks, writes RTL News.
Drinking alcohol
The new test can be used to determine alcohol in the blood. Even if it has been two weeks since the woman drank alcohol. 700 women participated in the study. Almost all of them indicated that they did not drink alcohol. Yet 35 women turned out to have done so.
