Hidden Harm: Australia's Drinking Mums (2015x43)

Air date: Dec 04, 2015

Alcohol is a big part of the Australian culture across every region, and every social class. But for Australian mothers this could be a disaster. The latest research shows there is no safe limit for drinking when pregnant. All it takes is a few drinks at the wrong stage of the pregnancy for mother’s unborn babies to suffer permanent brain damage. 101 East meets families who are now living with the tragic consequences, guilt and fear from fetal alcohol exposure.
