Talk to your Dr. but I don't think one glass of wine is a big deal. Your Dr. isn't going to OK it if it's dangerous his entire job is keeping you and baby safe. Just follow his guidelines.

Agreed with the first commenter.  You can wait it out.  You have your whole life to drink a glass of wine.  Wouldn't put my child through a risk of anything.

My doctor ways told me 8 Oz or under of wine would be okay just not regularly. I see how some women wouldn't; I still haven't but I say if you want to then go for it (:

I agree with xojensen I personally couldn't do it and for my 21st I went to the casino I really wish I could have drank lol but she's right we have our whole lives to drink after ;) but you could always give your doctor a call and ask them.

I personally wouldn't. It's known to be safe when you're at the end of your pregnancy when the baby is fully developed. But I wouldn't risk it I mean I understand you only turn 21 once but you still have the rest of your life for a glass of wine lol. Happy early birthday btw :) But yeah maybe call your doctor and see what he or she says
