Do you think it's ever okay to enjoy an occasional glass of wine while pregnant?

Yes, in a healthy pregnancy it's perfectly okay in moderation and is good for helping mom relax!

Well, I suppose if the woman's doctor says it's okay it must be okay but I wouldn't do it

If it's very rare like once a month or to help a mom in labor relax

Nope, not at all. Haven't people heard of fetal alcohol syndrome?

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.
