Since i've entered the 2nd trimester i've had an occasional half a glass of wine or a couple of shandies. I did the same in my last preg and Ella turned out fine. I do find that i do not have the desire to drink more than a small glass though as i get a bit dehydrated so i take that as a sign to stop.

One or two drinks a week/fortnight (after 1st tri) should be fine. My PIL are from Malta and they said that it is considered normal for woman to have a glass of wine with dinner and babies turn out fine.

The icecubes is a good suggestion for watering wine down. Enjoy your Christmas drink
