NO alcohol is safe during pregnancy

I'm amazed at how many continued posts there are regarding alcohol consumption while pregnant. Do the research. Even a small amount can equate to fetal alcohol syndrome. If you can't abstain from alcohol for 9 months then that's very unfortunate for your unborn child. Just because your neighbor or a friend of a friend had wine and "her baby was fine" is not a valid medical justification for you to drink. You don't know if that baby will have developmental issues in the future. I'm sure this post will get support or those who defend their right to drink- people who are defensive usually are the offenders. I come from a medical background and a very caring place. Our babies don't have voices yet so someone needs to speak up and speak the truth.  Please reconsider your needs and think of your future child's needs.
