Gestational weight gain and dietary energy, iron, and choline intake predict severity of fetal alcohol growth restriction in a prospective birth cohort.

Gestational weight gain and dietary intakes of energy, choline, and iron appeared to modify fetal vulnerability to PAE-related growth restriction. These findings suggest a need for screening programs for pregnant women at higher risk of having a child with FASD to identify alcohol-using women who could benefit from nutritional interventions.
