wine?

[pris08]

So before I herd it was ok to have a glass of wine, now they don't recommend it.. any thoughts?

My sister has a degree in biology and recommends instead of wine which is 12.5 percent alcohol to drink a glass of Guineas beer instead. It only has 3 to 4 percent alcohol and more iron than wine.

I think it depends on the culture and location of upbringing what drs recommend in that area. I heard in Europe pregnant women drink an occasion glass to lower anxiety and there babies are just fine. But in USA they are more strict about no alcohol intake while pregnant ( maybe due to lots of fetal alcohol syndrome cases here?) I would say just use your discernment

I heard a glass of red was fine but that was 5 yrs ago now they say no.. I don't understand the difference between now and then.its supposed to thin out your blood Wich is good at least that's what I was told

My OB  with my first told me a little glass of red wine is okay because of the iron. That was the first time I heard it.  My OB  with my 2nd  never told me anything.
