Really? Ive had more than that i usually dont like red wine but just seem to be craving it alot guna speak to my midwife actually to see what i can do to help the craving everyone is guna have diffrent opinions on alcohol whilest pregnant dont worry i haven't been drinking every day tho or even every week in my pregnancy im currently 26+2

red wine is okay! i had only one half glass so far in my whole pregnancy (im 33wks 5days) and after a few sips i felt light headed.....so i stopped drinking it. if i was getting drunk off a few sips, i could only imagine what my baby was going through...the doctor said 1 half glass a week is fine (personally i still think thats too often) but...hey. idk

Red wine is great for the baby's heat development.

I've had an occasional glass of wine during this pregnancy. I'm ok with it. I really would make it just a very small glass and just very occasional though. If you're feeling the effects of alcohol just imagine how the baby must feel.

My friend was told by her consultant to drink half a pint of guiness every day because she had low iron and thats a very good source of iron. Ive been fine so far with no concerns so havent needed to do anything. I wasnt really a big alcohol drinker before i was pregnant so im not really bothered!

Im against it! Although at one point this pregnancy i admit i took a couple sips of hubbys smirnoff. Watching everyone else do it made me crave it. But after that i put the rule in place of no more alcohol in my house until i am not pregnant and then all that will be allowed is smirnoff and beer on occasion.

I personally would never drink while being pregnant,its not that serious that i cant wait until after hes born if i want one..plus my hubs an family would want to know if i had lost my mind having any amount of alcohol..

[mamaellis]

Some doctors recommend a small glass of red wine if you're having issues with preterm labor. However, it isn't known just how much alcohol is safe during pregnancy. And you are encouraged to limit alcohol while breastfeeding as it is excreted into breastmilk. So, I personally wouldn't recommend drinking alcohol.

I've heard of women having the occasional glass of wine but I am against any kind of alcohol consumption during pregnancy! You don't want your peanut getting intoxicated, do you?!

I personally wouldn't drink anything. Whatever goes into your body goes into the baby's.
