That's what my doctor says too.

He says that technically, we can't do TOO much to hurt our babies until they are in our systems enough for THEIR effects to be felt on us!

And really, studies show that unless you are absolutely BINGE drinking every day of your life during the early part of pregnancy, the risks are quite small. And of course, if you're drinking THAT much, your chances of conceiving at all would be limited anyway because of the effects of the alcohol on your overall metabolism.

I was reading somewhere recently as well that current studies to in fact support a SMALL glass of wine every day for overall health benefits. I have a feeling it might have been red wine though because of the anti-oxidant properties (among other things). I have a brain like a sieve at the moment though and cannot remember for the life of me what, why or where it was!
