uoraop | I have to imagine lots of people drink alcohol before finding out that they are pregnant. Shouldn't this cause more issues with the baby's development? Isn't this the critical time for development when it could have the most effect on the baby? | [removed] | 15,120 | AskScience |
uoraop | I have to imagine lots of people drink alcohol before finding out that they are pregnant. Shouldn't this cause more issues with the baby's development? Isn't this the critical time for development when it could have the most effect on the baby? | The answer is that at low and moderate levels of use in early stages of pregnancy, the studies are not as conclusive as one would like. Fetal Alcohol Syndrome is absolutely a thing and the more one drinks in pregnancies, especially at higher usages, the more likely it is to occur. Less conclusively known is what happen... | 7,500 | AskScience |

Isn't this the critical time for development when it could have the most effect on the baby? | There's lots of conflicting info here and a lot of it comes down to there not being many studies on pregnant women because of ethics. Pretty much every drug, prescription or over the counter, says not to take it when pregnant not because there's any proof it's harmful but there isn't any proof it's not.

uorgoq | Hello everyone,
I have been working for a year as Desktop Support and my manager has recently asked me that he would want me to move to a Field tech position in few months.
I have a bachelor in CS and the field tech requirement is HS diploma or GED.
Does this make sense at all? | Their requirements don't make sense but the move should be what you want to do. Field tech is onsite, out of the office. You also get to interact with clients face to face. Put hands on networking equipment, etc. Everything above can also be a 'con' if you don't like any of those things.

I have a bachelor in CS and the field tech requirement is HS diploma or GED.
Does this make sense at all? | I loved being a field tech. It's a good way to show you can work independently and make decisions on the fly.

I have a bachelor in CS and the field tech requirement is HS diploma or GED.
