[quote=Anonymous]A good friend of mine drank during her pregnancy.  She lives in a different city so I couldn't tell you how much, but I got the sense it was an occasional glass of wine.  I believe she was following the recommendations in Expecting Better. That's her choice, which I think she feels good about, and I absolutely respect it.  I am not drinking at all - I used to get hangovers from one glass of wine or one beer, so I am afraid my body is not capable of processing alcohol well enough to protect my baby.

If you don't feel good about drinking, don't do it.  It is your job to decide the best way to care for yourself and your baby when you are pregnant.  The science on this matter suggests that drinking in moderation is probably safe, but everyone's body is different, and you should do what you think is right.  For what it's worth, from another high strung person, I would hate to have to rely on alcohol for stress relief (and it sounds like it is also adding to your stress).
