I am 8 weeks pregnant went out to dinner with my husband yesterday. He ordered me a glass of wine with my meal and insisted that I drink it.
I told him pregnant women shouldn't drink and he told me I was being dramatic. He said that a glass of wine was healthy for everyone and that there was no way one little glass of wine would hurt a fetus.
I still think it was a bad idea.
Who was right?

My doctor told me that after 12 weeks a few glasses of wine a week would be fine and probebly make me feel better. Only a glass a day a few days a week and only wine or a beer.
My husband is German and all the women over their drink wine pregnant, but only after the first trimester. I am 23 weeks and I have only had a small glass on New Years because I am still paranoid. Went to the doc yesterday and was complaining of pelvic pressure and she suggested relaxing with a glass of wine, which I might try cause nothing else seems to work.

Well you really are not suppose to drink any alcohol at all while you are pregnant. But one glass of wine wont hurt you. Other than that try no to drink any more because you dont want to chance hurting your baby. I drank a snmall glass during my pregnancy one time and nothing happened to her but that doesnt mean you can drink a little glass every night. I would suggest not doing it anymore. Tell your man to take it easy on you and its not good to drink. You did fine, you didnt know, nothing will go wrong. Good luck!

You were right, mama! Nobody knows for sure a safe amount of alcohol for a pregnant woman to consume. Also, at 8 weeks, you're baby is not just growing, it's getting all of it's major organs and limbs. If I were you, i'd just tell him that it makes you sick and don't care to have any.
I had about a half a glass of wine at new years with my last baby, but it took me about a half hour to drink it. I felt guilty even though my sister drank a whole glass now and then. My son is fine, but it's alot better in the long run to just stay away from it.
What if something did happen with your baby? You'd have to live with quilt over drinking wine when that may not have even been the cause.
Mama knows best!!!! : )
Congrats on your pregnancy!!!

It's seriously not okay but One glass of wine is not going to hurt you nor your baby the only time it will hurt any of you is when you drink alcohol ALL the time!! Once is alright. No matter what anyone out there says!!!

This is seriously NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT!!! Pregnant woman are advised to stop drinking when pregnant, due to the fact that the health care profession cannot be seen to agree with drinking when pregnant. Having a glass of wine etc is not a bad thing, what is a bad thing is getting drunk, and making a habit of it. This may result in FAS (Fetal Alcohol Syndrome) even then it is only mostly in extreme cases.
Please try not to worry, and only do what you want to do and feel comfortable doing, it is YOUR Body and YOUR baby, so tell your man to drink his if he wants and stay out of your health affairs.
Congratulations on the pregnancy and stay strong, dont be bullied into complying with your man,

It's fine it will be ok nothing will happen to your baby you only had one glass not twelve. I have heard that wine is supposed to be good for you when you are pregnant, not all the time but every once in a while

Actually a glass of wine can help ease stress and can be OK for you. I wouldn't drink it though because the doctors don't know how much causes fetal alcohol syndrome. But I think you both were right!!

You're right; no alcohol during pregnancy. I think your husband was very insensitive to your feelings, and unconcerned about your baby. It isn't that a little glass of wine will hurt the baby for SURE, but why take a chance? Plus, if you didn't want the wine, why order it? I'd be MAD and wouldn't have drunk it, but what you did won't hurt.

When I was thinking about getting pregnant, my OB/GYN told me that ONE glass of wine or ONE beer was OK three times a week. But one a day, not three at a time.
I was totally shocked, but he's a prominent well-respected doctor and I trust what he said. And I still do.
