[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve had about a 1/3 glass of wine (sipped very slowly, with food) on about five occasions over the first and second trimester. I’m about halfway now. How guilty should I feel about this? [/quote]

Hey OP! If you had 1/3 glass of wine on 5 occasions during the first and second trimester then I think you should be fine (mind you I’m not a doctor). My understanding, from reading Emily Oster at least (I was really craving sushi lol and some PPs recommended her book), is that in the first trimester one glass of wine a week is fine and then in the second/third trimester, one glass a day is fine. She’s not a doctor either so I would take her recommendations with a grain of salt, but what you drank is way below that. By any chance did you drink more than once a week in your first trimester? Like were any of those five times back to back during the first trimester? If not I don’t think you should worry at all. Either way the amount you drank seems minuscule so don’t waste your time worrying about this. My understanding is the guidelines say that no amount of alcohol is safe because it is difficult for them to know where to draw the line. By the way I’m Muslim and I’ve never had alcohol in my life, so I’m not saying this because I drank during pregnancy. It’s just that I really do think that the amount you drank will have no negative effect but obviously ask your OB to see what he/she thinks.[/quote]
