a glass of wine

[ramirezlinda2010]

O my doctor told me it would be helpful for my restless nights to have one glass a wine at least once a week!! Have you guys heard of this or has anyone tryed it just worries me being that i am 34 weeks already

I was having trouble sleeping and my midwife told me one glass of red wine with a warm bath would help but not to have more than 1 glass a week. It did help but I never had a whole glass I would do half or less since im not a big drinker when im not pregnant. but i only did it 3 times cause I worry if it will do anything to the baby.

There are alot of other "natural" ways to relax your body just the same as ONE glass of wine. Try a warm bath and no stimulation like TV phone or computer an hour before bed if your nights are that restless. Or even herbal tea. I'm sure one glass of wine wouldnt hurt I wouldn't hurt but is it really necessar?

I am a ftm. I asked my ob he said one glass once in while is fine. Im actually having a glass as we speak with a glass of water and dinner lol!! Ive also have had glass of wine before this  last month as long as its not everyday or getting drunk you are fine!!

Actually there is resercers today who say they are not shure how much amount of alcohol or smoke will harm ur baby. If its one glass or 10. So most of them dont recommend it at all. They can NEVER say with 100% certanty that 1 glass will NOT harm ur baby. Stay safe then sorry.
U can try diffrent thing warm bath esentiol oils massage etc.
And of course for 20 years ago and more they thought drugs was OK, but that was because of ignorance not because it was healty for U...

One actual glass of wine (which is not much at all) is fine. I havent had an actual glass of wine but I have taken sips here and there. Im a smoker so I dont add anything else bad lol. I had a sip of my bf beer the other night tho..it honestly will not hurt you or baby unless you actually drink during preg then its dangerous. But dont feel guilty for needing to relax.

One glass of wine a week is fine. Especially in the third trimester. I asked my uncle about it who has been in the medical field and a ob for the last 20 years. Its not harmful at all and is actually quite healthy if its red wine (which it should be). But of course its up to you.

I would NEVER drink while pregnant.. I dont care if they say its ok.. it just dont seem right to me, however that is just me.

Oh I remember 20 years ago drinking while pregnant wasn't a problem lol or smoking. Now days everything is bad for you lol.

Weather one drink will actually intoxicate you or not it will still relax your body. And British docs allow a glass of wine a week. My.mother had a British doc here in us and he did as well. Course she doesnt drink so didn't matter lol. And that was 20 years ago when she was pregnant with my brother.

I stay away from it. Don't see how one glass could help but hey I ain't no doctor lol. I can't wait till the baby is here so I can enjoy one tho lol.
