Watch and read about last year’s event:
Surprised commuters stopped and pulled out their mobile phones to photograph dozens of frozen pregnant people in the middle of the main concourse of Victoria Station. Only the banner on the balcony above them hinted at the purpose of the event. It read: "NOFAS-UK PREGNANT PAUSE".
The 'pregnant' crowd froze at 09:09 9/9/08 to tell the world that women only need to pause from drinking alcohol for nine months in pregnancy to ensure that their babies will be born without the alcohol related brain damage known as Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD).
The reason for the event became clear when leaflets handed out by NOFAS-UK described the risks of consuming alcohol in pregnancy. "This is just one of our events to educate and raise awareness about FASD", explained Susan Fleisher, the founder of NOFAS-UK and adoptive mother of a child with FASD.
The Pregnant Pause gave people a chance to 'freeze of fun' whilst bringing to attention the risks of drinking during pregnancy. As the crowd applauded at the end of the Big Freeze one man said, "I'm proud to be pregnant to help prevent FASD".
