Best Answer

No, you cannot drink while pregnant at any stage. Many doctors still allow it but Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and Fetal Alcohol Effect are now the leading cause of mental retardation in this country. As little as a tablespoon of alcohol is all it takes to damage a growing fetus.

Many people believe that if an infant does not have the facial features of FAS then they child is fine. This is not correct, as the damage is actually to the child's brain. The facial features only occur if drinking is during a very specific period in the first trimester. The brain damage can occur throughout pregnancy.

Please research FAS/FAE and Fetal Drug Effect for further information.
