Smh moms on here really be having there priorities fuckedd up its not okay at all to drink are smoke I been on this app for 38 weeks and it sickens me to hear oh I smoke to help morning sickness and I drink to relax please save that bull .... Once you become a mom you make a promise to protect that baby it doesn't matter how you feel so what ifyour tense or have morning ssickness who cares and people say oh I research it lol I can't believe woman can be so careless and then say omg don't judge me like lol are you serious you deserve to be judged !!!!! Unless u have some type of cancer that you need THC to live then there is no excuse I don't care how much moms try to justify there stupidity and I don't know any illness that you need alcohol to live period so these definitely no excuse for that ...  And to the mom that wrote the status all you can really do is pray for her and the baby

She's fine, I know it sounds so bad but its not a harm unless she's getting drunk to the point where she can't walk. I didn't drink in my first pregnancy but now I'm pregoo with my second a I have had some drinks here and there just to relax but nothing to taking advantage

Is she drinking all the beers at one time.. Or one beer monday and another on thursday? one beer every so often probabaly wont do harm.. Even three a week spaced out will probably be okay. PROBABLY! Still taking a chance it wont be as nobody knows the actual threshold. But honestly all you can do is inform her that you dont believe it is safe and encourage her to discuss it with her OB. She is her own person and you cant control her decisions.

The baby could have fetal alcohol sydrom which is very harmful to the baby. No one knows how much alcohol causes this sydrom but drink is bad for the baby.

Also, NOT EVERYTHING YOU READ ONLINE IS TRUE.... Ask your doctor, and then tell her to ask her doctor....

Majority of beers have a very low alcohol content (roughly only 4%) if she's having one beer three separate days of the week she should be okay but she should definitely make sure she's drinking a lot of water

I personally never drank while pregnant and don't agree with it and as much as you would like her to quit she's the mom and will pay for the consequences if something goes wrong with the baby. It's really sad but other people's decisions and choices are out of our control.

Drinking while pregnant is not good. So many things can go wrong... tell your friend for the sake of her baby to stop and educate herself a little more.. prayers for a healthy baby..
