You shouldn't even drink one drop, if you even think you are pregnant. Even one glass a day can cause damage to the brain, that will cause problems to your child for the rest of its life. Don't take the chance, and be responsible if you are carrying a new life inside of you.

Answer 5

I come from a Mediterranean family and my yia yia (grandmother) swore by the glass of wine a day theory. But when my wife was pregnant yia yia said that 1 glass every other day was enough to help mother and child. But don't use that as an excuse to indulge.

Do not drink when you are pregnant at all. From all I have heard from doctors any amount of drinking can do serious damage to your child. So I wouldn't risk it...

Answer 7

Alcohol is bad for the baby. Of course so it caffiene, hot water, charred foods, pollution, over the counter medicines, prescription medicines, etc. You should not drink to intoxication or make drinking a habit, but one glass of wine will not retard your baby.

Answer 8

NO, it is a known fact that alchohol harms your unborn child, it does cross the placenta...people also say that after the first trimester it's ok to have a little...if your baby was fully developed at the first trimester your could deliver it, but its not so you could damage something on your baby

Answer 9
