You should never drink any amount of alcohol during pregnancy. Drinking even very small amounts of alcohol can cause birth defects, miscarriage, and FAS (fetal alcohol syndrome).

How many glasses of wine are safe?

None! The CDC says that there is no safe level of alcohol consumption during pregnancy. Recent studies have indicated that very small amounts of alcohol may not be damaging but until and unless there is some strong new evidence, avoid all alcohol during pregnancy. Not so many doctors believe that in the second and third trimester a glass on wine at night has no ill effects on the unborn and may help as it relaxes the woman. Check with you own personal doctor and don't over indulge.


Is it safe to have a glass of red wine in your second trimester of pregnancy?

Well this I believe is a very debatable question. Some doctors do not advise against, others say it is only okay during a certain trimester while others say absolutely no..period. My advice to you is for you to use your best judgment with this. We all know that drinking during pregnancy can cause tragic results and your child could be born with fetal alcohol syndrome. I have never read of any real benefits of drinking a glass of red wine while pregnant, so I personally would just say no. Why risk it if it does not have any obvious benefits. Some people say that having a glass of wine/beer ,whatever the beverage, can help you sleep if you have problems sleeping. But this cannot be true, alcohol can actually affect your sleeping and the quality of sleep will be poorer. Good luck.
