I've always been told that no amount is safe and personally its not worth the risk. My children are way more important to me than having a drink. Its only 40 weeks out of my entire life.

My personal opinion I would never drink anything that has alcohol in it ,whatever u drink/eat ur baby gets but then again there are mothers that smoke cigarettes n do drugs, my neighbor is one of them she ate marijuana brownies when she was pregnant n now her baby is sick, she's always crying I think there's something wrong with that kid

During my studies i've learned that if you drink alcohol your baby will feel the effect for four hours.    So if you drink alcohol it's quite selfish,  because it does hurt your baby.  And it also doesn't feel good to me.

I know how my body reacts to alcohol without being pregnant...which is borderline alergic... So I abstain.  But I did have half a beer before I knew I was prego. I think the proverb is 'know thyself'

I will have a half glass maybe once or twice a month, but usually completely avoid it in the first trimester.

I've had wine maybe twice since I've been pregnant, and my doctor told me it's ok! Just not very often.

My doctor told me that a glass of wine or a beer every now and then would be ok. As long as its only one and not often. I drank one at a friends wedding reception.

I personally believe that any alcohol could have a negative result on a growing baby, but I have friends that will have a glass of wine. I went to a baby shower and I was the only pregnant one not drinking lol
