Information
No, you shouldn't drink rum during pregnancy. Rum is a form of spirits containing alcohol and drinking during pregnancy can cause risks to the unborn baby. Alcohol goes directly through the placenta and can affect the development of the baby, which is particularly dangerous during the first weeks of pregnancy where the embryo is at a very vulnerable stage of development. In addition, there is no level of alcohol that is considered safe for the baby. Research suggests that even light consumption can be harmful to the baby. It is therefore preferable that pregnant women completely avoid drinking alcohol, including rum. Finally, rum can also lead to side effects for the mother, such as headaches, dizziness, nausea and vomiting, which could affect her health and that of her baby. It is therefore preferable to avoid rum and any other alcohol during pregnancy.
All these recommendations are given as an indication based on ANSES information and cannot replace the advice of a health professional.
