Wine anyone?

I'm not a big drinker. Occasionally I liked a glass of wine every no and then. So, I've stopped that period. And just was wondering what is the con census about wine while pregnant? I miss the taste.

Ditto EverythingN1. There is no consensus in the medical community about how much, if any, alcohol is a safe during pregnancy. I miss it a lot but the reality is I have raging heartburn so booze would just make it worse anyway. I haven't had any alcohol since finding out I was pregnant and won't have any. Sigh.

I agree on bringing it with you to the hospital. I totally would be happy with just a mouthful at this point! Once the baby is born if your nursing you have to think about how you would be able to drink while breast feeding.

I am seeing a midwife and two doctors through this pregnancy. I have been told that a 4 oz glass, on a full stomach, Is fine every now and then. In fact,that is what They have advised me to do when I have contractions because it relaxes muscles.

There isn't a scientific consensus yet whether a glass of wine or not is okay for pregnant women, but some doctors have adopted a philosophy that a glass of wine every now and then will not hurt a baby. Personally, I have had 3 since finding out that I was pregnant.
