hmm... wine ok before 3rd trimester?

I've heard wine is ok to drink in moderation while pregnant.. then I heard not until the 3rd teimester? I myself am not a wine drinker but if I'm at a bbq or out something to sip on would be nice.. even non alchoholic beer? I'd rather drink that then wine if its even ok to be honest but just wanted a few other opinions. I mean obviously I'm not dying for a drink I was just curious about the whole thing.

My doctor said a glass of red wine is ok. I had a wedding and we didn't want to tell people yet. She said one small glass every once in awhile won't cause any damage. It takes drinking on a regular basis to cause any damage to a baby. Not 2-3 glasses throughout your whole pregnancy. Also my lactation nurse told me to help bring my milk production up to drink a glass of beer a week. Something about the yeast and ale?

While it's true that you could drink alcohol everyday and have a perfectly healthy baby, it's also possible that you have a few drinks and not. Why risk it? No amount of alcohol had been determined safe during pregnancy. It's only 9 months and the choices you make now could impact your child for their entire life.

Hot sauce. Non alcoholic beer legally can't have alcohol in it. You can get low alcoholic beer that has only a small amount

I have had a standard drink at a bbq a couple of weeks ago...my doctor has said as long as it's not a frequent habit nor  binge session then it will be fine. One drink in 10 weeks is not going to do any long term damage....I know lots of people who continued to have a glass of wine every afternoon when they were pregnant. Also, my best friend was told to have a beer by her midwife when her blood pressure was high in her 3rd trimester. Did the trick because her blood pressure was perfect after that.

I haven't  had one lol it was just a question but I'm not sure I feel comfortable drinking it, it was just a thought at the moment because of the craving i had..The alchohol in it is less then 5% I believe i was told so someone would have to drink like 10 for it to even equal one beer. Wine has more then that doesn't it? I'm not sure I don't drink it or why its supposed to be so good for you to drink

I had a small glass of red wine at about 6 weeks. You can have non alcoholic beer just fine
