Pregnant Pause is a community education campaign geared to educate the public about the dangers of drinking alcohol during pregnancy. The events combine fun and festivity with important information about prenatal care, childhood safety, Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD), and community resources.   These events were first held in two New Jersey counties, Monmouth and Ocean, over a decade ago.  Today, with support from the Office for Prevention of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities, the Coalition for Prevention of Developmental Disabilities at The Arc of New Jersey  provides leadership and guidance to local agencies to sponsor Pregnant Pause events in every county in the State.
