occasional wine?

Question

Im posting anonymously because I don't want to be judged. Im currently 7 weeks pregnant and my pregnancy is going very well so far(I know it's still very early) I will be going out to dinner with family this weekend and was wondering if a few ounces of red wine with dinner would be okay? Anyone out there have occasional wine during their pregnancies?

Answer

I advise against it period, but ESPECIALLY before you hit the second trimester! You are so early right now and all of the important things are being formed right now.

Answer

All the new recommendations say absolutely no alcohol. Sorry! I know it's a bummer but honestly 40 weeks goes pretty quickly and it's worth not risking the baby's health.

Answer

I have the rest of my life to drink. So I'll spend my 40 weeks free of. My baby means more to me. They deserve the best health you can give them. But too many important things are developing in the first trimester so I'd hold off.

Answer

Do your research. In my opinion it is absolutely not worth it. How much do you really get out of having a few ounces of wine?? So not worth the worry of harming your baby.

Answer

Wait till you're out of your first trimester. Then I'm all about moderation. The first trimester is when any kind of chemical can do the most harm.

Answer

My OB (who I actually have known personally for years before I got pregnant) actually recommended sipping 1/2 small glass (not a big goblet) of red wine instead of taking tylenol for pain BUT 3rd trimester only. He said 1st and 2nd no because the brain and organs are in early stages of development. He said they don't tell this to most patients because then people take it out of context and say "dr so and so said drinking while I'm pregnant is fine" and it creates problems, but since he knew me and knows I'm not going to go crazy and drink too much and say stupid crap he told me.

Answer

I had the odd glass while pregnant but not in the 1st trimester. I'd wait a bit longer.

Answer

I would not in the first trimester.

Answer

Really think do what you and doctor feels is best and no shaming!

Answer

You are allowed 1 glass of red wine. Its actually good for you. I personally wouldn't do it everyday but in moderation it's fine. So you should be just fine at dinner :) enjoy.
