Drinking While Pregnant

Visit http://www.coolmom.com for more! || Tonight was my night for a cocktail. Days from delivery, and darn it, it was good. As I slurped, my friend and I recounted how we use to sit on the armrest of our parents' cars. Who had a car seat?

The doc says I can drink now a little I didn't do shots and probably won't have more than a sip of beer in a few days. But from what I hear, it's better to drink now than when I nurse.

Hope my son won't be too short.

Britaniwalling,

Obviously you haven´t done much research then because just the opposite is true! There are thousands of studies out there that DO say that even small amounts of alochol have been proven to NOT be safe for a baby and CAN and DO cause birth defects.

Alcohol is not fine....not even a 'little bit'. My adopted daughter has FASD. Her birthmom drank a beer a week from month 5 on. That is not fine.

@littlepanimausi I don't like jokes.

@HaryuuNoHanekata it was a joke. calm down

@littlepanimausi Because punching your husband is so safe and totally respectful.

For all of you who are saying that you would drink while pregnant I ask this. Would you also give your baby a glass of wine in his/her bottle? Alcohol kills brain cells. Period. You could kill the ones that help your child understand math or you could kill the ones that prevent your child from making the choice whether to walk across 6 lanes of heavy traffic. Why chance it?

@LetzWrock when my grandmother was pregnant with my aunt she would drink alot of beer and my aunt is perfectly healthy has a great job and 2 awsome children so i have hada glass of wine or 2 at new years and chirstmas and i will have a touch of alcohol on occasion yes im pregnant i also did that with my daughter and shes EXTREMELY healthy and vibrant so it depends on the people i guess

for everybody who says they want to drink while pregnant because they are stressed: there are other ways to get rid of stress and those won't possibly damage you babys life for ever! so why not go with safe things like punching your husband? :D not going to hurt your baby and is good for stress^^
