Midwife’s research included in new national guidance on harms caused by alcohol in pregnancy Jan 18 2021 As thousands of people are committing to giving up alcohol during Dry January, research from a midwifery lecturer at Northumbria University has been included in new national guidance on the harms of consuming alcohol both before and during pregnancy. In the past, national guidelines had suggested that pregnant women should avoid alcohol, but that if they did opt to have a drink, then they should have no more than one or two units once or twice a week. This was updated in 2016 to state that anyone who is pregnant or planning to become pregnant should not drink alcohol at all to avoid the risk of harm to their baby.
