Information

During pregnancy, it is important to make the right food choices to ensure that the baby and the mother receive all the nutrients necessary for healthy development. Although beer can be a healthy and refreshing drink, it is not recommended for pregnant women. Specialties and abbey beers are stronger in alcohol than light beers. They generally contain between 4 and 6 % alcohol, or even more. Alcohol is considered a toxic substance for the fetus and can cause anomalies and malformations. In addition, excessive consumption of alcohol during pregnancy can cause fetal alcoholism syndrome (SAF). It is therefore important to refrain from drinking specialty or abbey beer during pregnancy, as it can have harmful effects on the fetus. Alcohol consumption during pregnancy can lead to serious and irreversible consequences for the baby, including congenital anomalies, a birth size and weight lower than the average or development disorders. Therefore, to guarantee the health and well-being of your baby and yourself, it is best to refrain from consuming specialty or abbey beer during pregnancy.
