Here's the deal:

Drinking while pregnant is not like flipping a switch, it's a gradual thing.

It is well proven that a lot of alcohol will damage the baby, and that a little alcohol has no measurable effect.

But no one can tell for sure exactly where the line goes, what's "safe" and what's "dangerous".

If you had some alcohol before learning that you're pregnant, just quit drinking and hope for the best.

If you know you're pregnant, and still want to have a drink, you really need to think hard about your responsibility. Risking the health and future of your unborn child for the sake of a few drinks doesn't seem worth it. You have plenty of years after birth to get a buzz on.
