THERE IS DEFINATE RESEARCH AND DATA that shows that drinking during pregnancy puts at risk of having a baby born with F.A.S. (fetal alcohol syndrome). Medium to heavy drinking during a pregnancy can cause damage to a growing fetus; physical deformities: smaller heads, smaller eyes that seemed "webbed" (resembles a child's eyes that has Down syndrome), slower growth and development, thin flat upper lip (no crease), and ALSO things you can't see: possible heart damage, emotional problems; impulse control problems, learning problems, most have some degree of mental retardation....I worked with a young boy with FASand it wasn't easy. He was loveable and pretty smart, but his problems were MANY. AND if the drinking is not severe enough to cause FAS, the baby can be born with a milder case called F.A.E. These children are born without the physical deformities, however they also have problems that are not immediately evident: learning problems and other emotional problems.....IT REALLY ISN'T A GOOD THING TO DRINK ALCOHOL WHILE PREGNANT!! <<>>peaunuts are yucky and you are gay

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.
