The process of removing alcohol from regular beer only removes it to a point.....about up to cough syrup and grand marnier truffles. In other words, so low that it's considered 'non-alcoholic' by the ATF and the Surgeon General's office and other decision makers. There is still a slight amount of alcohol present.
A close friend of mine smoked and drank her way through two pregnancies and had two beautiful, healthy, cute pink chubby babies. Generations of people have grown to adulthood the children of parents who were told that the placenta filtered out EVERYTHING. We now know that's not true. However, ruling out non-alcoholic beer due to pregnancy is a judement call...how far do you want to go to insure your baby's health?
I'd say to cut it out of your diet. It's only nine months; not the rest of your life. A non-alcoholic beer may cause you to crave the real thing...do you want that pressure on top of everything else? Sip Ginger Ale with a wedge of lime and look cosmopolitan while being extra careful!

It has never been proven what amount of alcohol is considered unsafe during pregnancy, so most people just choose to not do it at all. If you're looking for facts, you won't find any, because it's never been proven, and I don't think it can be proven. There's alcohol in root beer too, by the way.

if you look at the label very close, it lists a percent age of alcohol. It may be a very small one but there is alcohol nonetheless.
I worked in a nursing home and we were trying to give the residents a party and give the men non-alcoholic beer.We saw the label had alcohol listed so we nixed the beer.
So you might want to not chance it and drink it and also get feed back from your Dr. as he/she is more reliable source.

I would think so but i would still consult with your doctor. Even non alcoholic beer has a percentage of 5. I have a stupid question...why would you drink non alcoholic beer anyway? Why not drink juice or milk?

Non-alcoholic beer actually does contain a small % of alcohol in it. It is only .01-.05 by volume, so it is still not considered safe for pregnant women or those who have an alcoholism problem. Hope this helps.

I wouldnt it still has some alcohol in it. Why not just be safe and wait until the baby is born.

ask your doctor to be sure, and if he gives you the ok go for it. HOWEVER, be very careful to read the labels, most NA beer still has a small amount of alcohol in it!!!!

I don't think so...if you are avoiding alcohol, you may as well not bother with the 'non-alcoholic' versions and have something more healthy like water or fruit juice.

Yes. My doctor told me it was fine. I had a few at first but it is not the same.... just have something healthy... good luck.
