DF would sweep the glass away before I even got to sniff it ><;
Can't say I have, sorry lovey!

I'm sure one is ok, My ob told me to have atleast 1dark beer a week if that eases your concience. (for the benefits not cause I couldn't go without) So far I've managed to get through 1 little one anout once a fortnight / 3 weeks maybe.

It's not recommended, but it doesn't warrant the disapproving looks!

Daytona - can I ask why your OB told you to do that? I'd be scared of having alcohol like that during pregnancy. I've heard of stout being good for breastfeeding, but not for pregnancy??

I'd have a social half glass on occassion while pregnant and never received any looks. But yes, it's not recommended... alcohol does cross the placenta.

The latest advice is that there is no known safe level of alcohol consumption in pregnancy.
So, it's really up to an individual what personal decision that they make.
I personally didn't drink at all throughout my pregnancies. For me it was a short amount of time to abstain for a beautiful outcome.

If you are happy with your decision try to overlook the glares.
