[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP [b]I think people exaggerate on the alcohol thing[/b], but it's hard to tell if you have an issue. Depending on how big a "serving" is, 1.5 servings a few times a week could be a lot in the 1st tri especially ... and people generally under-estimte how much they drink. If you could say honestly you had 1 white wine spritzer with 2 oz of wine about once a week ... no biggie. But if your "serving" is a giant 6oz glass of wine and you drink 3-4 nights/week ... that is a problem.

I don't like that your DH pressures you either.

I will tell you the truth, which is that I drank lightly (like 2oz of wine 2x/week) and would not do it again if I had another baby. It's a very short period of time, and my general parenting values (now that I have a kid) are to be very discerning and risk averse about my child's health.

What does this mean (bolded)?[/quote]

I mean, I think they exaggerate on how bad truly light drinking is, given that there's no strong evidence for it being bad.  The question is whether OP is actually engaged in "light drinking."  https://systematicreviewsjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/2046-4053-3-1[/quote]

I completely disagree with you, but I know a number of fetal alcohol babies.  Alcohol is bad for your fetus. Period.[/quote]
