We researched this on the internet and had a mixed response. Some say any alcohol is harmful while others say wine in moderation is healthy. What do you think. Any personal experiences we could draw on, either pro or con would be helpful? Thanks:)

The occasional glass of wine is "okay" but why would you bother to risk it? Suck it up for five months, it isn't that long. And, not to be super harsh, but if you didn't want to give up alcohol (and life) for 9 months, why get preggers?

1 glass of wine every once in a while should not be harmful. u definetely should ask your doctor though. all pregnancies have there own risks. When I lived in italy the pregnant women I knew continued to drink a glass of wine with dinner, and even gave sips to there young children! pretty shocking the first time I saw it.

I would drink maybe half a glass of wine less than 3 times a month. Maybe 1 glass a month, I think anymore than that might be harmful.

Any OB will tell you, one glass of red wine a week is healthy for you and the baby. I had a friend who found out I had a glass with Thanksgiving dinner while pregnant with my son. She called lecturing me on fetal alcohol syndrome. I told her to do her research and hung up. Well, it seems she did do her research and found out I was right, she called apologizing and said she wouldn't judge me on things she's ignorant about. Tell your friend it is fine and if she's still worried she can talk to her doctor.

Sometimes babies are okay, but even small amounts of alcohol can significantly increase the risk of birth defects. Babies cannot metabolize alcohol as quickly and efficiently as adults, so damage is usually heavy. That is why the overwhelming majority of doctors say you should stop drinking alcoholic beverages as soon as possible. The risk simply is not worth any benefits gained.

If you ask anyone now-a-days, they will tell you it will be harmful. But some years back, it was considered to healthy to have one small glass of wine after supper while you were pregnant.

I had a friend who drank a small glass of wine (4 oz) every day while she was pregnant. She had it with a healthy meal. She did not smoke, or use any other drugs.
She had 2 beautiful, healthy children.
I had one wine cooler, diluted with club soda, I ate healthy, did not do drugs. My son was born healthy but with learning disabilities.

one 4 oz glass of wine a day with a meal is fine and will cause no problems
want to argue with me ? go ask your doctor first! its actually recommended you have a drink after you have an amniocentesis to help relax the uterus
