or should I wait until next week to find out if I am pregnant or not? Would it harm the baby if I had a couple of glasses of red?

Studies have shown that when women drink wine while trying to conceive, it actually makes you more fertile. If you think that you are already pregnant it probably won't hurt your baby. I had a glass of wine with my dinner when I was pregnant every 2-3 months...but no more than that. Doctor said that it would be fine but to just make sure that it was no more than once a month and it must be a low volume alcohol content wine. My son is perfectly healthy and there is nothing wrong with him. The best thing to do though is to avoid wine or alcohol of any type while pregnant. Good Luck

You should be fine. Just don't over do it. I was pregnant with my second child and had a catscan and was put on meds for migraines before I even knew I was pregnant with her. She's 3 now and perfect! I even had a glass of wine with my first pregnancy to help me sleep at night towards the end of my pregnancy. It's ok in moderation just don't go out and get trashed after knowing you have conceived.

Currently, experts are unclear as to the long term effects of alcohol consumption during pregnancy. One thing they do agree on is that if you drink; moderation is HIGHLY recommended. Wine in particular is now recognized by the state of California to have inherent chemicals that can be carcinogenic. Warning labels are put on wine products stating this. The best advice; ask your OBGYN or family practitioner.

I think a couple of glasses of wine is fine. After all, many of us were conceived as a result of our parents having one too many!

i've heard that it is OKAY of you have drank (even heavily) in the very beginning of pregnancy (as some women dont know that they are preggy at the time)...i kinda think that u should stay away completely while pregnant....i had a small bottle of alize when i was like a wk pregnant but my baby is fine...
good luck!!

one glass of wine shouldn't hurt you. When you get pregnant tell your doctor and see what he or she says.

the answer is that it probably would not harm your baby, although, that is not a guarantee. alcohol is a known factor in infertility, however, so if you are trying to conceive, you might want to hold off.

I wouldn't recommend it. I know people who have drunk alcohol whilst they were unaware that they wre pregnant and their baby was fine, but still I think you should avoid it just to be on the safe side.
