I know you shouldn't drink while pregnant and studies say it is not good for the baby but I was recently with a large group of friends of mine who all have kids and one of them said she had 3-4 glasses of wine a week. I thought that was a lot for someone pregnant. She said her Dr. told her a little wine here and there is fine but I thought that was a big excessive. Then all of the other moms chimed in and they all had about 2-3 glasses a week. Am I the only one who thinks that is a bit much?
Re: How often do you have a glass of wine?
I would only bust out my judgmental pants if a pg woman is getting smashed.
LFAF Summer 2016 Awards:
BFP: February 2016 EDD: October 17, 2016
Since then, I've drank about a six-pack of Leinenkugel's Snowdrift Vanilla Porter and also had a glass of red wine. Usually not more than one drink per day, and the one time I did have a glass of wine + a beer in one night it was over the course of several hours.
3-4 glasses per week is nothing to be alarmed about. If it was 3-4 glasses per DAY then I might raise an eyebrow.
I drank a small glass on NYE but thats it so far. 1-4 glasses a week doesn't seem harmful to me IMO. Obviously your friend and baby are fine.
If we go out to dinner or if there is a family event, I would probably have some wine. If I was a beer drinker, I'd have some beer.

TTC since March 2013. BFP 4/13/13, blighted ovum discovered 6/6/13, m/c 6/8/13.
BFP 11/10/13, EDD 7/25/13 - stick little owlet!
That said, do your research and you will find a glass of wine/day shows no correlation with birth defects. Stop judging people if you have not done the research!
When we were on vacation in Europe, it was more often than that.
However, I never have more than 1 drink per day. We have done quite a bit of research & both feel completely comfortable with this.
My moms OB told her to have a glass each night while pregnant with me to help her sleep. I turned out fine and love my wine!
That's WAY too much IMO
to each their own, but I will only have a few sips on special occasions when I'm pregnant
I LOVE LOVE LOVE wine, but I can give it up for 9 months
also those recent studies about having regular drinks = lower iq
yea I'm just willing to risk it
I just googled it - I thought it was out of the UK, but here's what came up

Four genes for slower alcohol processing were tied to lower IQs.
In theory, some women may be able to drink a glass of wine here or there during pregnancy without harming their babies
BUT
