I drank one whole beer a couple nights a go. Sometimes i might take a sip of my husbands beer. But not enough to get drunk. I know you can have one glass of red wine. But i hate wine... that one beer would not harm my baby... what do you ladies think?? Im 16 weeks and 5 days... that was the first time having a whole beer. Its not a everyday thing!! Tell me your opinions???

I think you'll be fine. I have even read studies that have shown the benefit of having the odd drink in pregnancy on both mother and also the child long term. Not enough to get tipsy. Just an odd drink here and there. In other countries it is the norm. There is no reason why American women can't regulate their own consumption the way the rest of the women in the world do.

And I read it online and my sister in law told me that beer helps with producing more breast milk

@heather2701 my friend didn't know was pregnant and she got drunk almost every night before she found out, and her daughter is so smart and beautiful, I asked my Dr that since I'm craving beer I could have a sip once in a while, and he said it was fine, so enjoy your beer lady, I had half a can of coors light the other night, and my baby is just fine

"At that high of a risk" hear what u just said. And you don't know what kind of foods we eat. We didnt answer that cause it wasn't the question. I for one am very educated. Besides all that stuff u mentioned about gmo etc. Have u tried looking up ingredients? Do you know what the red, blue, yellow, voilet in foods do to you? Most don't. So most have something to learn

I agree with you @natpat5.. in my opinion some ladies on here need to relax! if your having a drink or two that doesnt make you an alcholic nor does it put your baby at that high of a risk. Alot of ppl drink and smoke threw out there pregnancy and dont nobthere pregnant and their babies are purfectly healthy ..im not saying go ahead and drink or smoke. But one or two wont hurt!!

I've had a beer and a couple glasses of wine during my pregnancy 23 wks now...not all at once of course but I've done it and it doesn't make me any less of a mother than anyone on here so I say screw it what's done is done and who cares just don't drink another one for a while! And in the beginning before i knew i was carrying i smoked weed and cigs and drank like a fish so I'm just saying i think one beer u will be fine.....in my opinion!  Good luck and don't worry about all the negative things people say it's ur body and baby!
