Here is the thing about alcohol and the fetus..doctors really dont know how much alcohol can cause harm to a fetus. That is why doctors and health official say no alcohol during pregnancy. We have all heard about Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. These babies had mothers who were alcoholics during their pregnancies. But it has been studied that some babies who dont present with the appearance of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome may have substantial learning disabilities in the years to come. One occasional drink here and there like a glass of wine on your birthday or some champagne on New Years Eve wont do any harm to your baby. Should you be asking this question because of alcohol consumption before you were aware that you were pregnant I wouldnt worry over it. Doctors still recommend from time to time that a women have a glass of wine to relax after an amnio or after an extremely stressful event. Its all because of that gray area that doctors say NO alcohol at all.

I am not a doctor, but it is a risk. Now some doctors say that you can have a glass of wine occasionally during pregnancy and your child an be completely healthy. There have been times during my 4 pregnancies where a special occasion or a holiday would arise and I would partake in a glass of wine. But that's it. All 4 of my children are healthy and beautiful! :)

when they say do not drink during pregnancy they are referring to being an alcoholic, drinking to get drunk. If you are only having one glass this is fine. Thousands of women smoke during pregnancy and the result is a low birth weight baby. One glass of wine will be okay.

Yes it is okay. Check with your doctor, but they do say that a glass of wine is okay. Don't drink shots or anything though!!

only if you're a dumb person who wants to forever screw up their child and cause birth defects and learning defects and so on. If you can't go w/o alcohol for nine months than you have a problem and should deal with that instead of bringing an innocent child into an alcoholics home.

Alcohol can actually cause more damage in the early stages of pregnancy.

Yes but don't drink more than a glass. I would consult your doctor about it.
