1st time Pregnant

Juat curious as to how many people have or what they think about indulging in the allowable red wine intake while pregnant? I have friends that would every once in awhile, and I'm not really sure. Thoughts?

My doctor doesn't have any issues with it in the 2nd tri. I'll usually have half a glass with dinner 2-3 times a week after about 20 weeks.

I have a family member who had fetal alcohol syndrome. I know that the mother had more than the occasional half a glass, but personally, I can't drink at all, knowing what can happen.

I'm staying away from it. I have a friend that had a glas every now and then and I'm just not all for it.

Staying away. Indulging isn't worth it. Have some sparkling cider, or sparkling cranberry juice!

Most doctors say a 5oz glass here and there isn't harmful. But before you do it it's always best to check with your doc.

This is not Europe. In Italy they say a small glass a day is good for the baby. Not the case here. I have friends that have had a half glass per month with no issues but I won't be drinking anything at all, as my doctors advise against it. My best suggestion to you would be to ask your doctor her/his opinion and follow their advise on the amount (if any) is safe to consume.
