Is it true drinking a cup of wine causes contractions or labor?

It’s difficult to predict the impact of drinking on any given pregnancy because some women have higher levels of the enzyme that breaks down alcohol. If a pregnant woman with low levels of this enzyme drinks, her baby may be more susceptible to harm because the alcohol may circulate in her body for a longer period of time.

I drink wine on occasion and my baby is quite healthy. Strong heartbeat and looks awesome on the ultra sounds :) half a glass of red wine, especially after the first trimester, is fine.

There's always gonna be someone who crucifies women for a glass of wine. There has been no proof at all that one glass of red wine will cause any harm to your child. Liquor and beer are a big no no. But some doctors even RECOMMEND a small glass of red wine. You'll be just fine, so will baby.

No, that is an absolute myth and really bad for baby. Do not drink while pregnant.

Not for everyone. Everybody is different. Some women can do everything to bring on labor and it doesn't lol.
