A few months of abstinence to keep a whole life safe
To this day, science has not been able to establish what amount of alcohol causes harm to a baby in the womb. Don’t take any risks ! The safest way to protect your child from harm is not to drink any alcohol at all during pregnancy.
Do you need help?
Not every woman finds it easy to abstain from alcohol during pregnancy. If you have questions or need support, pregnancy support workers will be pleased to assist you further. Advice and counselling are available free of charge at pregnancy counselling services. You can find locations all over Bavaria at schwanger-null-promille.de/weiterhelfen/
There you can also find the contact details for the anonymous online services of government-certified pregnancy counselling centres. You can access confidential and free advice there by email.
And, of course, you can also always get help from your doctor or midwife to make sure your baby arrives healthy. Our best wishes are with you!

Support makes it easier! Fathers, grandparents, siblings, aunts and uncles, cousins, colleagues and friends can support mothers-to-be in their effort not to drink alcohol during pregnancy. Pass on the facts and help - so that babies can be born healthy!
