I have a lot of friends who stay completely away from anything alcoholic during pregnancy. But I have to admit, I am not one of them :)
It's not like I drank all the time when I was pregnant, most of the time it was the last thing I wanted! But yes, I definitely think it's OK from a health perspective. Would love to know what other moms think :)
I would have to do a little research on the subject. I personally did not drink at all, however, I believe I remember Fetal Alcohol Syndrome came from over indulging.
I think if it is done in severe moderation it is ok to enjoy a nice glass of wine, especially at the end of the pregnancy. I have had several friends that said in the end they felt ackward and uncomfortable all of the time, a glass of wine helped them relax and get comfortable.
