It is not good to drink any type of alcohol while pregnant. There is no determination how much alcohol in pregnancy actually leads to Fetal Alcohol Sydrome. Rather try and find another way to satisfy your cravings!!!!

You might try a glass of grape juice and see if that helps the craving as you might actually be wanting a vitamin or something that comes in the wine. Do not actually have any wine until you speak to your doctor. Weird cravings are just a part of being pregnant. Not everyone gets them but I have heard of some real strange things. My weirdest was onion pizza with extra onion. Pretty gross right. Good luck to you and your little one.

i never touched any alcohol in my pregnancy.
They say drinking a glass of wine here or there is OK,and i felt like doing that too in my pregnancy ,but i did not wanna take any chances.
ask your doctor when you go there he will recommend whats right for you,cause it depends too he might tell you a glass of wine here and there is OK if your preg is going normal,now if somebody has difficulties in there preg i don`t think the doc what they its OK he would probably recommend to not drink at all.
So just wait until you got your doctor appointment and then ask him.

There have not been enough studies done to know for sure if a small amount of alcohol will harm your baby.
Most doctors will tell you the occasional SMALL glass of wine is okay. Obviously, don't overdo it. If you are getting drunk it is too much.

speak to your GP - no-one on here can give you medical advice like this - ultimatley once you ahve the answer, wherever it may be from, make sure you weigh up the pros and cons of having it - for you and your baby - and always drink in moderation
Good luck on rest of your pregnancy
