Drinking While Pregnant???

Question

So, my OB and every woman in my family, including my mother who JUST had her sixth and (hopefully🙏) last baby that drinking an 8 oz glass of wine occasionally is perfectly safe and okay.
And yesterday I had a glass of wine, at 24 weeks.
BUT I've heard other things from other people afterwards and I want to make sure I'm at least getting current information.
What are your opinions?

Answer

My doctor said it’s fine. I had the occasional glass of wine throughout my pregnancy and I’ve got a very healthy baby.

Answer

I wouldn't argue against studies done because they will tell you it is fine to have a drink now and then... at the same time, there are still babies born who have been effected by alcohol consumption by the mother.
Every mother can make their choice what to believe and what they do... for me personally I won't be drinking because I don't want to do anything that I can easily avoid, but that I may blame myself for one day. To me it is not worth the risk of something going wrong.

Answer

Personally, I love my baby too much to risk it. I’d blame myself if she came out with ANYTHING wrong with her. I’d always blame that drink I had. Even if it wasn’t related to FAS. 
It’s not worth it to me, but that’s me. 
I also don’t drink any coffee or have any caffeinated drinks. 
So I’m overly precautious. 
Truly, 9 months isn’t that long. I have better self control than that. And this is coming from someone who drank wine EVERY DAY before I started TTC.

Answer

A small amount a couple of times through the pregnancy won’t hurt, daily drinking or binge drinking will though.

Answer

Honestly i just couldn't knowing everything I eat is going to my baby. The way I look at it when I'm pregnant is if I wouldn't give a baby or child it why let it go through me to my unborn baby?

Answer

Not worth the risk, in my opinion. I feel like it’s selfish to do, but that’s me.

Answer

Too late now.

Answer

Again, no anon and again use the search bar for the various posts we already have on weed and alcohol use during pregnancy.

Answer

the nurses I worked with were told one glass of red wine or beer a week was safe for health benefits.  a single drink is different than binging and alcoholism

Answer
