No safe level of alcohol consumption during preg-nancy has been established. In 2005, the Office of the Surgeon General issued recommendations that preg-nant women, those planning to be-come pregnant, and women at risk for becoming pregnant abstain from alcohol use.1 Because almost half of the live births in Oklahoma are the result of unintended pregnancies, women may be pregnant for several weeks before they realize it. According to the Oklahoma Preg-nancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS), 51.1% of women with live births in 2009-2010 re-ported drinking alcohol in the three months before pregnancy (Figure 1). While 65.9% of women reported less than one or no drinks in an average week during those three months, 51.1% of women reported drinking alcohol in the three months prior to pregnancy. 5.6% of women reported heavy alcohol consumption (seven or more drinks per week) preconceptionally. 46.8% of women who re-ported alcohol use binge drank at least once in the three months prior to preg-nancy. 29.2% of women who re-ported alcohol use prior to pregnancy had an annual household income of $50,000 or more. 58.2% of women who drank had more than a high school education. 45.6% of women who con-sumed alcohol also smoked during the three months be-fore pregnancy. 51.6% of women reporting alcohol use had an unin-tended pregnancy. 32.5% of women who used alcohol prior to pregnancy reported they did not receive prenatal care counseling on the effects of alcohol on the infant. 28.5% reported having an average of one to six drinks per week and 5.6% reported 7-14 drinks per week. Ac-cording to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), seven or more drinks per week for women is considered heavy drink-ing. Among women who reported alco-hol use prior to pregnancy, 46.8% reported binge drinking at least one time in the three months prior to pregnancy. This was defined as four or more alcoholic drinks in a two hour time span. Over half of the women reporting alcohol use prior to pregnancy fell into the lowest and highest annual household income categories; 20.6% of women who reported alcohol use prior to pregnancy had annual household incomes of less than $10,000 and 29.1% had $50,000 or more.
