Its not encouraged. And certainly not good daily practice. Theres actually studies that show that women who drink one alcoholic beverage a week may show beneficial health signs, and those who drink one a day show negative signs.
Theres also no standard to tell how each persons body stores, metabolizes and is effected by alcohol, this means one serving for suzie might not effect her at all, and its out of her system in 20 minuets, but for you it can stay in your system for hours and effect how your body functions.
While one small serving of red wine while pregnant is not considered harmful, it is poor practice, and theres certainly nothing to suggest is beneficial to you or more importantly, the baby.

I'm in the medical field and yes an OCCASSIONAL glass of wine is actually good for your. It is good for your blood and if you are anemic like I was then it is good for you because wine is loaded with iron, especially red wine. My doctor suggested that I drink a glass here and there with my pregnancies and we do the same for our patients that have low iron.

No. It is not OK to drink anything while you are pregnant. There might be some health benefit from red wine to you, but not your baby.

aaahhhh - any excuse to drink. People will come up with anything to booze it a little...
Some literature suggests a glass once in a while ie once a month, is o.k. while some say nothing is o.k.
It's up to you whether you want to chance the health of your baby...

It's fine, just don't do it often. one glass a month or so won't hurt the baby....and during early labor it can help relax you.....many midwifes recommend it....

No... just wait 9 months. You would do more harm than good.
