Drinking red wine while pregnant

Ashley

Thoughts on this? I’ve had doctors tell me that I should be drinking at least three glasses of wine each week while pregnant because it has many health benefits! I’m just wondering if maybe it would help with nausea because I’ve heard wine helps upset stomachs???

EDIT: I made this post because I am looking for as many “natural” ways to help with nausea/vomiting. I have tried everything so far except this. I simply want to be educated and I know that there are many moms/doctors who do agree with drinking red wine while pregnant because of certain health benefits. I am just curious of those health benefits and how true it is! No, I am not looking for an excuse to drink alcohol.

EDIT #2: ya’ll I did not realize how sensitive this topic is. 😂😭 to those giving me advice on morning sickness, I have tried everything you have mentioned that’s natural. From oils, candies, ginger pills, gum.. you name it, I’ve tried it. I’m trying to stay as natural as possible with this pregnancy. That’s why I’m staying away from actual medication. I have had several moms tell me that their OBs actually encouraged at least 1 glass of wine each week. If you look into it deeper, like I have and many others have, you’ll realize that red wine is not all that horrible. But to each their own.

EDIT #3: I cannot believe how hateful some of you women are for a simple question. Y’all act like I’m shooting up heroine while pregnant. FYI: I am not drinking any alcohol at the moment. As I’ve said in the comments, I have never been one to drink any alcohol. Was never into it. I was just simply curious about everyone’s thoughts on this topic and was also just curious if it might help nausea/upset stomach. I’ve heard from others before that red wine can help ease the stomach. That’s why I was curious. Just because I asked doesn’t mean I’m sitting in my recliner with a huge glass of red wine. So everyone can chill out. Thank you to everyone else who was KIND to me and gave me amazing advice and information on this topic! You girls rock!

EDIT #4: from what I’m seeing, (correct me if I’m wrong) it seems that drinking red wine while pregnant is more “accepted” and encouraged in the UK and not in America. Before getting on here and judging me, take the time to look deeper into this topic. You’ll see that red wine isn’t as bad as it’s made out to be for pregnant women and then you’ll understand better why I asked about this topic and realize that it’s reasonable to ask and not something outrageous.
