[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am anti incubator status within reason. [b]There is zero, and I mean ZERO evidence to suggest that a very occasional glass of wine causes any issues. So I am deeply opposed to giving anyone crap for that.

Modern parenthood is measured by pain. How much did you sacrifice/give up/suffer for your child. The more you did the better you are as a parent or something.

I do not drink often when pregnant and never more than a glass. Anyone who wants to give  me a hard time about that can give me a report on everything they do day in and day out and see if they meet all the recommendations. [/quote]

In the absence of randomized controlled studies, there is zero, and I mean ZERO evidence to show that a very occaisional glass of wine DOESN'T cause any issues.

Sure. There is also zero evidence that eating ice cream doesn't cause any issues. Or Basically anything. Because its considered unethical to do those kind of randomized controlled studies on pregnant women.

So in the absence of quality medical research I am going to use my best judgement based on thousands of years of human reproduction and come down on the belief that generally most things in moderation, especially very low frequency/exposure, are fine.

Stop eating processed foods and sugar if you're that worried about ever doing the slightest bit of damage to your baby![/quote]

You’re self absorbed lush. I feel sorry for your child. He or she deserves a parent that won’t put them in harms way for a moment of alcohol induced bliss. [/quote]
