What would you think if a girl wanted a glass of wine on Christmas eve, is 4 months pregnant and has not ever drank from the moment she found out she was pregnant? Can one night in 9 months with a glass or two be harmful??

You shouldn't drink at all while pregnant. You could put your baby at serious risk

I dont think one glass will harm you. If your still iffy about it then ask your doctor what they think. Alot of people will say that one glass will harm the baby and all, but you have to look at it as, what about all those people who drank and did not find out they were pregnant until they were 2 months or so. You never here stories about how the babies died or anything like that. All in all its a personal choice if you want to. If you believe it wont harm you, or if your doctor says one glass is fine then go for it.

I have never heard that one glass of wine can hurt a baby. stay away from number 2 though. if you are 4 months pregnant you are in the stage where everything that you do will affect this baby. every organ is developing during this time. make sure you take your prenatal vitamins and you need about 8g of protein a day and calcium. one glass on x-mas is fine. but no more!

My doctor has told me that no, a glass of wine will not harm the child, but don't go over-board. Always, ALWAYS, ask your doctor first. I have high blood pressure and my doc said that later in the pregnancy with my first son that it would be okay to have a glass of wine per week. But only your doctor knows you, so I recommend asking.

back when.... they said it was good to drink a glass of wine a day when you were pregnant at least thats what they told me when i was pregnant but now the docs would say not to do it but if they did it all the time before what would be different now we all turned out fine my mom did it with me i think as long as its only one glass that one time it shouldnt hurt but see what others say before you would take my advice congrats on the baby

Not necessarily. One glass of red wine will not hurt you. I wouldn't go for a second one though. Try to find one with a low alcohol content. Don't guzzle it either. Little sips. Red wine is actually good for you but not in excess during pregnancy.

I've always been told any amount of alcohol can be harmful to the baby but my cousins doctor told her she could have one glass of red wine everyday during her pregnancy. She did it with both her children and neither one had a problem. Ask you doctor.

I know some people who did it and were ok. Personally I wouldn't take the chance. There will be lots more Christmas Eves that you won't be pregnant, but how many of them will there be where you are? Enjoy a cup of hot cocoa instead and delight in thoughts of your upcoming arrival.

If its just one glass of wine probably not but she should probably ask her doctor to make sure. I personally wouldn't drink any type of alcohol. I would have sparkling grape juice or cider.
