Weekly wine harms baby

JUST one glass of wine a week in pregnancy can lead to developmental problems, research claims.

Of 24 foetuses scanned by a team at the Medical University of Vienna, Austria, 17 of the mumsto-be had less than one drink a week – but “significant changes” in brain structure were detected.

Lead author Dr Patric Kienast said: “Even low alcohol consumption can lead to structural changes in brain development and delayed brain maturation.”
