HI,
Thanks for the query. I understand your concern.
Fetal alcohol syndrome is a group of conditions which occur in persons whos mothers drank alcohol in pregnancy. It's due to developmental defects following alcoholism. The symptoms of abnormality are more evident at school age.
You had taken beer while the roots of fetal body is formed (first 12 weeks of pregnancy ) So you do stand the risk .
Thanks.
