PREGNANT women who follow Government guidelines on alcohol could be putting their babies at risk, the assistant health minister has acknowledged.

The Federal Government is reviewing its national guidelines on alcohol, which set standards on how much people can drink without suffering health effects.

Current National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) guidelines recommend pregnant women drink no more than seven standard drinks in a week and no more than two on any one day.

But opposition parties and peak doctor's group, the Australian Medical Association, last year began a push for the Government to change its guidelines to recommend pregnant women drink no alcohol at all.

AMA president Dr Mukesh Haikerwal said there was no evidence to suggest alcohol at any volume could be drunk safely during pregnancy, and numerous studies showed the harm it could inflict on a developing foetus.

"Women considering pregnancy need to know that there is no known safe level of alcohol consumption," he said.
