Personally I feel that a small glass of wine 6oz-8oz every once in awhile is OK and your personal choice. I don`t have one every week but maybe once or twice a month when we go out for a really good meal. My doctor says this is OK.

Fetal Alcohol Syndrome ... is caused by continuous, regular alcohol consumption thru the entire pregnancy. The question was, would you have a GLASS of wine or beer. There is no difference in smoking one cigerette, having one can of soda or have a small glass of wine. ALL 3 have stimulants in them. Before any one sets out to judge another about what they consume during pregnancy, take a look at the products you put into your body as well. Caffine, Nicotine, MSG, Nitrates in processed meats, alcohol.. what ever it may be. If the person is an alcoholic or a drug addict, then please feel free to comment accordingly. My OB has suggested that 6-8 oz of wine a week is more than safe through out my pregnancy. All things in moderation. She also said that she would rather have me consume that than 8 oz of Coke a day. For what it is worth if you don`t feel safe or comfortable drinking, smoking or what ever thru your pregnancy then that is wonderful! If you feel safe with everything in moderation, that is wonderful. Each individual women will have to live with the decisions they make. It is NO ONE`s place to point a finger at another. Remember, when you start pointing a finger, you have 3 pointing right back at you! Seriously....if you want facts read the ingrediants in your food. You would be shocked to see what all you put in your body on a daily basis!

i dont feel guilty at all for having a random drink-just like some of you are saying-everyone makes their personal decisions...and i`m all for that. and i`m not close-minded so i have, as well, looked at some of these sites that ya`ll are posting to be more informed. thank you.

There`s stuff out there like sparkling apple juice or grape juice that tastes just like wine lol. Why don`t you guys try that. It`s really good nad has no alcohol in it. And no one here is a bad mother because they`ve had a couple of drinks. I wouldn`t do it but it`s a personal choice nad no one should be judged. :)

1st i want to say this comment is not directed at any one person. Just the question. For me i choose to not have even a sip of alcohol. I know someone with F.A.S. She will have problems her whole life. .....Do i think 1 or 2 glasses of wine would do that? No!...... Do I know for sure 1 or 2 glasses of wine is safe? No! Do i look down on women who have 1 or 2 drinks when preggo. of course not. I think it comes down to personal choice. I just know that if anything every happend to my baby because i a drink then i would never forgive my self. So for me its not worth it. and thats just my opinion on the subject.

wow! i`m glad people are finding it amusing to point me out just b/c i`m actually speaking up-when there are 10 other people that are saying they think its ok....and summerisis is right-there are other ways to go about thinkin that drinking is wrong during pregnancy-there is no need to bash on someone for having 2drinks! my God-the world hasnt ended!! and to give a website like she did is more helpful then stating your opinion! b/c opinions are just that!!

If there is diffently something out there called fetal alcohol syndrome why take the risk at all, my doctor won`t let me take any medicine, even cough syrup because if could have alcohol in it, the only medicine they will let you take when your pregnant is tylenol! Why take the chance! I mean if I there was something that could cause down syndrom at a small risk, would you take the substance? I don`t know I just think it is very selfish on the mothers part to drink or smoke at all during prenancy, there are too many premature babies born and suffering in this world.

lemme correct myself since some people may think i was saying that i dont think its a big deal to drink...i DO think its a big deal to drink while being pregnant-but what i was saying was that i havent even thought about drinking since i`ve become pregnant and i MAY have 1 DRINK IF i go out to eat-but usually its just a special occassion-like i had 1drink when my youngest bro graduated from army bootcamp, in sept-and i had 1drink earlier in mid oct for my little bro`s bday...thats it! i dont see that to be a crime! so anyone who thinks i`m killing my baby b/c i`ve had 2drinks in the 20wks i`ve been pregnant-vent to someone else-b/c i dont care about your opinion! =)
