Wine?

    Honestly, I think you go with whatever your midwife/OB recommends. Personally, I have been sniffing the open bottle like it's my job--and that's about it. I'm a better-safe-than-sorry kinda woman, so I'm just going to wait until spring. But I do know plenty of women who feel comfortable with a very small glass on special occasions.

    Why even chance it? I think it's incredibly ignorant and selfish to drink while pregnant, no matter how much. I'm pretty sure there hasn't been a study conducted on pregnant women to conclude whether it's safe to drink during pregnancy.

    DH tells me I "huff the smell of wine like spray paint". Zero self control over here so I'm doing without. But if I could keep it to just one glass I'd be all over it! (And probably all over the floor since it's been so long!)

    I personally haven't had any. I get nervous. Not enough tests have been done to determine how much is too much.

    They can't do a good study where they can control all variables and see what the safe alcohol level is. It's unethical.

    They can look at data and extrapolate things from that, but maybe the mothers they look at did drugs and drank so what really caused problems with the pregnancy?

    We have many choices to make as mothers. And everyone is going to have different oppinions on what is best.

    Have you had tuna? Lunch meats? You arnt supposed to eat a lot of tuna because of mercury, does that mean you should abstain completely because a risk is a risk? If you eat a sandwich from a reputable place are you irresponsible for taking the risk of listeria? Are you a bad mother?

    Should you get shit faced drunk while pregnant? No. You shouldn't really do that anyways. But a small amount here and there is not reason to declare a woman an unfit mother.

    Tons of European women keep on drinking with no adverse effect.  Our mothers probably drank when they had us (if we're old enough).  My mom told me that the no drinking idea was just coming around when she had my older brother.

    That being said, my crazy acid reflux and heartburn do not allow for wine.  Last pregnancy I had a sip at Christmas and spent the rest of the night battling fire coming up my throat so it's not worth it to me.

    "I'm pretty sure" You seem to have based your incredibly narrow-minded view on a PLETHORA of research and information. Please, tell me more oh wise one! Share your wisdom with the masses!
    Narrow-minded? Nah. Has nothing to do with that. It has to do with the fact that alcohol is known to cause many birth defects but who really knows how much alcohol was consumed during those pregnancies. Have you ever worked with a child with FAS? I'm assuming not. I, on the other hand, have. These children wouldn't have had to deal physical, behavioral, and/or numerous learning disabilities if their OPEN-MINDED mothers would have passed on the alcohol.
    Jeez, who peed in your Cheerios this morning?

    Who the actual fuck are you?
    Umm? Do you want my real first and last name or...? I'll pass on relinquishing that information. However, I'll extend a "hello".
    Was something I stated that offensive that you needed to be so vulgar?

    Yeah, that makes sense, because vegetables have been linked to known birth defects and life-long health problems. You make a seriously valid point. Thanks for sharing your "knowledge" and shedding some light on such a serious topic.

    Just out of curiosity?  Have you met a majority of the parents of the children you worked with that had FAS?  I have met a few.  At the risk of over-generalizing, most of them had substance abuse problems and weren't the type of women who just casually had a half a glass every couple of weeks at a nice dinner.
    I, too, have met a few on more than one occasion. I can't be certain of their drinking habits, but my point is, why chance it? I mean, is it really that difficult to give up wine for 9 months if it means that your child's risk for disabilities is significantly reduced. I don't think I'm a terrible person for disagreeing with people who think it's absolutely fine. I'm not going to try to defend my opinion, nor should I have to. OP wanted to know our thoughts, and I offered mine up. Don't like it, too bad.
