Ok to have an alcoholic drink a week while preggo?!?!

Question

I heard that a glass of wine doesn't really harm pregnancy. As for me, I will not even want to smell alcohol while pregnant.

Answer

In my opinion I would never ever take the chance.

Answer

Don't rely on other peoples' moral stance - read "Expecting Better" by Emily Ostermann where she dissects scientific studies regarding alcohol and pregnancy, then decide for yourself what's right for you. Spoiler alert: research shows a glass of wine in moderation/ once per week us FINE.

Answer

You never know if you will or won't until you're actually pregnant. I've craved alcohol the entire time I've been pregnant, especially wine, I haven't drank it but oh Lordy have I craved it. I told my fiancée I want an ice cold bottle of wine waiting for me after I bring my daughter in the world, but even then I can't drink it because I'm planning on breastfeeding! So I probably won't get my wine until I can pump and dump. 😕

Answer

When my mom was pregnant with my younger brother her doctor actually prescribed her one glass of wine per month. Said she needed to relax because of stress. So I don't think if you have a glass of wine every once in awhile (like 1 a month or 1 every 2 months) is going to cause fetal alcohol syndrome. Now downing 6 shots of Jack Daniels or a whole bottle of Vodka that will probably do it.

Answer

Even one alcoholic drink reduces your baby's movements and subdues them. No alcohol at all should be consumed during pregnancy...

Answer

Of course not! Ever heard of FAS?

Answer

I've heard a glass of wine a week is fine. I don't drink at anyway but if I did, I'd avoid it during pregnancy just to be safe.

Answer

I knew a lady who use to drink coronas her whole pregnancy thank the lord the baby came out healthy as possible 💁I wouldn't recommend it

Answer

They say it won't actually harm the baby..but that's the minimum you should intake daily whilst pregnant..to have an helathy pregnancy you would have to keep away from any alcohol..x

Answer

Any amount of alcohol can cause fasd. You can have people who are still functional and appear okay but still have a hard time. You don't have to drink much for baby's brain to be effected. It is not worth it. 
On another note, in the old days before they had steroids (which are more effective) they would try to stop preterm labor with wine.
