An occasional glass of wine while pregnant?

[Kristylm]

How many of you feel that it is safe to drink an occasional glass of while while in your second and third trimester? By occasional, I mean once a week or less. No judgement here, just curious. I did once when I was pregnant with my first child and she's fine, but it was only once. Mothers that I know personally have all said that they drank here and there, and feel it's fine. My sister is a obgyn nurse and the doctor she works for agrees it's not dangerous. I haven't dared to ask mine cause he's a bit judgemental.

I'm no too sure about whether or not it's ok.. but I just wouldn't.. personally what's the big deal with having a glass.. I'm a big wine drinker usually but it's no skin off my nose giving it up for 9 months

I think medhelp needs to step in here and write an opinion piece on alcohol and pregnancy.

From the perspective of the baby,  alcohol is alcohol.  Red wine isn't better than tequila.

And moms who refuse to stop drinking while they're pregnant are a problem.  A mom who has a standard glass of champagne at a wedding,  and a glass of wine with Christmas dinner will suffer zero ill effects to her baby.

A mom who has to have that "small" glass of wine with dinner every night is drinking more than that and you just don't see it.

I think red wine is OK?? Idk I don't really drink but I do enjoy wine nights once in a while. My friend always had one beverage while pregnant usually her last week. But I'm not sure I'd recommend it weekly or even monthly. But I'm also not educated on child development. I'd ask the Dr and just be safe? If not then they have yummy prego tinis out there!!

I'm against it. Seeing as my husband suffered from behavior and comprehension issues linked to fas due to his mother having three glasses of wine spread out throughout her pregnancy . Why risk it
