Red wine with dinner. 24 weeks pregnant????

Question

I am in my second trimester, 24 weeks pregnant. Is it ook for me to have a glass of red wine with my dinner?

Doctors always say one is okay but i want to know what the rest of you think and have you ?

Thanks ))))

Answer 1

is nothing wrong with only ONE glass, remember your baby first

Answer 2

I have never drank while pregnant. Doctors say if you HAVE to have it then ONE is ok but I would suggest not doing it. ITs not worth the potential risk it could cause. Just wait until baby is born and then you can drink what you want,until then I'd steer clear of any alcohol.

Answer 3

I would say no.

Answer 4

drink a little bit before having s*x.  

Answer 5

There is nothing wrong with an occasional glass of wine.  

Answer 6

I drank one small glass of wine a week while pregnant with my first. It was so relaxing. I do mean small though about 4 oz. She's perfect! Everything in moderation! Good luck!

Answer 7

In Europe, they drink in moderation the whole time. In Ireland, Dr.'s recommend Guiness for the iron....I think one glass in your second trimester is OK,  America is the only country that has such a strong anti-alcohol policy during pregnancy. Obviously FAS is real and horrible, but moderation is key in everything. Go with your gut and if your Dr. says it's OK, than that's that.  

Answer 8

I don't see anything wrong with it.  My doctor told me the same thing.  I had a couple glasses of wine throughout my pregnancy and my baby is a healthy happy 5 month old.  Just do what your heart tells you.  A lot of people will tell you that one drop can give a baby FAS, but there is really no concrete evidence to back that up. I see nothing wrong with an occasional glass of wine.  That's just my opinion. Good luck and congrats.

Answer 9

I would avoid it....do you really want to get your baby to have to process all that alcohol in his tiny organs??   Think of what's best for your baby.

Answer 10

I didn't have one sip of alcohol after I found out I was pregnant (which was at 4 weeks). So no, I wouldn't. I did have a friend that drank a glass of wine towards the end of her pregnancy...I was shocked...and even more shocked when she offered me a glass (i was 6 months pregnant at the time). I politely turned it down. While the chances of ONE glass harming the baby are probably slim, I'm not willing to take even the slightest chance.  

Answer 11

red wine is good for you but i dont think it is good for your baby! cant you just not be selfish for 9 months

Answer 12

I wouldn't have a glass with dinner every day, but I'd say every now and then it would be fine. I've only had one glass of wine since finding out I'm pregnant (I'm 28 weeks now) and I felt so guilty that one time, I don't think I could do it again. It's actually good for your circulation, but I wouldn't do it more than twice a week.  

Answer 13

the doctors say one is ok..but i personally dont drink at all during pregnancy i mean without alcohol for 9mths to make sure i have a healthy baby..i think i would rather play it safe...time flys :-)

Answer 14

every doc is dif but from what my doc says your baby at this point has all its vital organs and a glass of wine would be ok  

Answer 15

No alcohol is advisable when there is a baby in utero

However it may sound like you've already decided and asking this to justify your decision?!? i dont know but honestly even a small amount is never recommended
