Drinking whilst pregnant?
Hi all...
just wondered if anyone has had the odd glass of wine during their pregnancy or not?...
I completely gave up smoking when finding out I was pregnant (which has been seriously hard)... but I have been having an odd glass of wine (not on a regular basis)
What are your views with this?..

I must admit.. I do feel awful when Ive had one drink.... Does that make me selfish do you think?
Just hope he's going to be okay.. You just never know do you..
like you I gave up smoking immediately when I found out I was pregnant. It's tough, but I think for me the guilt would be worse if I had a cigarette!
The nhs advice says that you should have no more than two units of alcohol once or twice a week although there is of course a school of thought that says you shouldn't have any alcohol at all.
I personally have had the occasional glass of wine. (it's amazing how you can make it last for hours!!!). My friend has two very healthy young children and her treat during pregnancy was either a pint of magners or a glass of wine every couple of weeks.
These choices are really personal and I think of you make an informed choice that's right for you then that's what's really important.
I am 34 weeks pregnant and have a bottle of Cristal champagne ready for after I give birth... Can't wait!

The way i see it, lot's of ppl continue to do both whilst pregnant, and more often than not they have healthy babies. (As long as it's not in excess).
