RED WINE AND PREGNANCY

[NaeMar]

HOW DO YOU LADIES FEEL ABOUT HAVING AN OCCASIONAL GLASS OF RED WINE DURING PREGNANCY?

[mege26]

I love wine :)
Even though there are a lot of studies saying its fine, I wouldnt. Wouldn't think less of anyone who did have a glass here and there. I do plenty of things I shouldn't while pregnant. Like cafine and sugar... trying to limit it.

[AshleyGleghorn]

Not worth it at all...just wait, 40weeks isnt that long at all!

[newluv]

Im against it no matter what the doc says.

I love love wine but wouldn't risk it and besides its not fun especially with baby in stomach..lol cant get a buzz its better to wait for nite out after baby is born :)

[HannahJohnson]

In my opinion I wouldn't. What's the point anyway? I know it has lots of antioxidants but that's just because of the Fruit in it not the alcohol. I always heard alcohol is bad during pregnancy no matter the amount. Not that I'd judge anyone for drinking a glass

[TA283]

I wouldn't see anything wrong with a glass every couple weeks maybe, once in the third trimester. Definitely not in first or second, it's my understanding baby is far more vulnerable in the first two.
I'm no drinker, I have about 1:8 rum and soda a few times a year usually, but SO has forbidden me from touching alcohol for the duration of the pregnancy, so sober I remain. When I can stand to let our little one out of my sight for a night or two, I'll be indulging a bit.

Its really not worth it. That one glass of wine affects the fetus in ways that you cannot imagine. So i'd advise to stay away from it.

I know I can get carried away with alcohol so I won't even try someone's drink I always want a drink I just sip cranberry grape juice or sparkling grape juice out of a wine glass and pretend I'm an adult lol but really I couldn't handle drinking and something went wrong because of my wants

[LucyMarie1991]

I personally will not do it. And it also depends where you are in your pregnancy. The first and third trimester are the most dangerous time to drink any alcohol at all. I have a sister in law who is a nurse and has seen babies born with fas and it really isn't nice. This is something that is purely your choice. Could you live with yourself if you harmed your baby because you just couldn't wait to have a drink?

[babyjensen13]

I read alcohol causes facial abnormalities and brain issues I won't risk affecting my baby

[Cuppicakes]

Ive actually asked several doctors about it. While its not openly encouraged, an occasional small hlass of wine won't hurt your baby. It takes more than one glass to hurt a baby. Unless of course it's like a glass of vodka. If you're worried there's tons of places you can go and read up on. I've had an occasional small glass and both myself and my son are doing quite well. Babies born with fetal alcohol syndrom are normally born from mothers who drank a couple of times DAILY for their whole pregnancies.

I didt touch a drop wiv my 1st but my 2nd I did, If I was out I'd have a couple of glasses of red  or 2 halves of Guinness wiv blackcurrant i had a coulple of beers aswell as i worked in pub! this time I have had a couple on special occasions but I must admit I have worried about it after... I think because I'm.older now & I had mmc a year b4 I got pregnant this time, so Ive worried about everything a lot more... But my 2nd son is fine top of his class in fact! Very sporty def didt do him any harm :-) hopefully this lil girl will be just as good :-)each to their own I say :-)

[Jaja65]

I wouldn't. ..it can wait.

[Ari_nana]

Not worth the risk in my book.. but to everyone there own. I feel like if you can't go 40weeks without a drink then maybe you shouldn't try to get pregnant. I don't care what any doctor or midwife says it just takes one sip to hurt your baby!!!

[bryceT317_3]

Truthfully it only takes ONE glass of alcohol to give your baby fetal alcohol syndrome.  It doesn't always happen but its a gamble I wouldn't take. 9 months without wine or a lifetime with a child that's disabled and didn't ask for it. Not harping, just giving facts.

[Treksy]

My doctor straight up told me it was fine. Just not getting drunk!
He even told me hed rather see someone have an occssional glass of wine while pregnant than smoke!
I have had 2 glasses of wine through my entire pregnancy. One on my birthday and one on thanksgiving. Other than that, I dont feel like drinking all that much!
And I am a drinker usually

[AminaM1]

I've been wondering about that also. My mother in law drank with all 10 of her kids and they are fine adults but I'm still to scared to do it plus I would get much joy out of one glass plus I'd worry about the baby

[SaSa28]

There is a great non alcohol red wine at super store. I cant remember the name it tastes like the real stuff., but no alcoholin it. So I dont worry about it as much. I use it to cook with and ocationaly will have a glass in a bubble bath

[prego1980]

I feel it's ok,maybe a half glass I've heard some doctors will actually tell you to do this and that its ok..as long as its not every night,once or twice a month..but it's really up to you though:) best wishes.

[AMDG]

I've done it and I don't think it's a problem at all. Just one glass with dinner poses no problems in my mind.

[kirstenthecat]

Would never do it

[Jacid12]

If I wasn't such a worry wart id def. have a glass of wine every now and then but I'd be to worry about something happening to my baby! I'm counting down the days til I can drink a glass!!
