Wine & pregnancy?

Question

well i was wondering if it will hurt the baby if u sip wine during pregnancy? i heard it was healthy? is it true?

Answer 1

Many people have their own views and opinions and it seems to be the same for doctors and researchers. Personally, I feel that a few sips on a special occasion is ok. Dont make a habit out of it tho. Just keep in mind, pregnancy is the time that baby has to grow psychically and mentally. Everything you consume, your growing baby consumes. Think twice before you take that sip and ask yourself if its really worth it. 9 months may be a long time for some people but it being such a crucial time, you just might not want to chance it.

Answer 2

ive heard that it was okay but me personally i wouldnt do it because wine is still alcohol i think you should just hold off the wine until after the pregnancy just to stay on the safe side

Answer 3

Heck no! It will hurt your baby!

Answer 4

Conflicting research on the topic, some doctors and those experienced in pregnancy will say it's okay, while others say that no amount is safe. Just remember that however much you drink, the baby is getting a lot more than you might think. Use your better judgement.

Answer 5

I wouldn't to me it's not worth it. It contains Alcohol and I would never want my child to end up with fetal alcohol syndrome because I decided to take a risk.

Answer 6

I think the thing with wine is the grape part.  I would drink 100% grape juice- all the benifits without alcohol to hurt the baby!   I.M.O. any amount of alcohol can have an ill effect.  I'd go with the juice :o)

Answer 7

Everything in moderation, don't get drunk. I would say no more than 4 oz 3 or 4 times a week. Ask your doctor i there are any complications. i have heard it helps women with morning sickness.

Answer 8

Many Dr.'s say that a very small amount is okay.  Wine only though.  Hard liquor and beer is not okay.
