How much do you really know about the impact of alcohol during pregnancy? In this eye-opening trailer for 'Pregnancy and Alcohol: The Surprising Reality', host Kurt Lewis sets the stage for a podcast series that dives deep into the world of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). This condition, caused by prenatal alcohol exposure, is more common than many realize and leads to lifelong physical and developmental challenges. Yet, it remains a topic shrouded in silence and misunderstanding.
Through candid conversations with experts, psychologists, and caregivers, Kurt brings to light the harsh realities and enduring struggles faced by individuals with FASD. Louise Gray from NOFASD Australia shares a startling fact: there is no known safe level of alcohol consumption during pregnancy. Even a small amount can be harmful. Denise Kane, a senior psychologist, further explains how FASD affects brain development, particularly the frontal lobe responsible for executive functions like planning, organizing, and emotional regulation.
These insights underscore the need for special attention and care for those affected. This podcast isn't just for expectant parents; it's for anyone eager to understand FASD better. Whether you're a teacher, healthcare provider, or just curious, this series offers valuable knowledge and heartfelt stories that highlight both the struggles and resilience of those living with FASD. Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of this critical issue and join the conversation on supporting affected families.
