red wine during pregnancy
I know you guys already discussed drinking during pregnancy in depth just the other day, so I'm not looking for another discussion on the topic. I was just wondering if anyone knew of any articles on the subject. I would like more information, and I plan to discuss it with my OB, but I also wanted to read articles about it written by people in the medical field.
Thanks!

It's a British article, so some of the terminology is different, but it's still very good.
I am, right now, enjoying my first drink of the pregnancy.... a VERY small red beer, made with 6 oz Bud Light. It's amazing. This won't be a regular event, but I sure am enjoying it right now.
Here's a link to a review article. You can access the review by clicking the blue box in the upper right that says "free full text".

There was a recent study done (in Great Britain I think) that was on MSNBC.com that found that 1-2 glasses of wine per week is totally ok while pregnant. The babies turned out just as healthy and intelligent at all of their age "check points" as babies whose mothers had no alcohol.
I'll try to find the article and put the link on here.
