i'm catholic so for communion they have bread and wine in a cup and they give it to you. would that tiny bit of wine twice a month hurt anything or should i just skip?

Seriously? No, it's not going to hurt you.

I'd venture to say that very small amount of wine isn't going to do anything to your baby. But if you don't feel comfortable with it anymore just abstain for while you're pregnant. Or run it by your doctor just to set your mind at ease. But I'm sure you'll be fine.

If your that worried pass on the wine...they will understand, I am catholic as well.

This. And the only time I was ever given communion wine was at my wedding (though I was 8 weeks pregnant that day).

alright thanks growing through school they taught us even the least bit of alcohol could do damage.

They were trying to scare you. They probably also told you you'd get pregnant anytime you have unprotected sex too, right?

I would only skip it if it was a communal cup that was shared with other parishoners. I wouldn't want to swap spit with a bunch of strangers and risk getting sick.

This exactly. Wine is optional. I would skip it. I do, pregnant or not, because I hate drinking out of the same cup as everyone else. I know they wipe it, but come on.

i would skip it, why chance anything, its not worth it They say even a small amount of alcohol can have effects on the baby, even though it probaly won't it might, so why bother.

forensicmama · February 2011

Personally I would skip it. I wouldn't even risk the chance that something could happen.

It won't hurt, but the looks people give you might kill. Depends on your congregation I guess.

I had wine witth Communion every Sunday during my last pregnancy & everything was fine. I am doing the same with this pregnancy. It is not a communal cup though... That kind of makes me nervous even when not preg!

Not every church offers communion every week. I'm not Catholic, so I don't know how they do it, but my church has it 1st and 3rd Sundays and special services, not every week.

OP, I really don't think the amount of wine you get during communion is enough to worry about. I have and will continue to take communion as usual.

I'm Catholic, but I already don't do the wine. I almost spilt it all over my face once and I haven't had the guts to try again since. I'm sure baby will be fine, and just think, somewhere there's someone skipping the wine because her mom never taught her to drink from a cup properly. Maybe that's more dangerous, lol.
