[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am 23 weeks pregnant and I have been having small amounts of alcohol in the second trimester. I will drink half a glass of wine or beer (not every day, maybe once or twice a week). I have seen no evidence anywhere that this could be problematic for the fetus and I will continue in the third trimester. I’m an adult, not a vessel. I can make an informed decision about drinking less than one unit of alcohol a week. [/quote]

Yes you are a vessel because you are carrying the baby! Is alcohol that important?  How would you ntice any evidence?[/quote]
No, I am a person and I make the best decisions for myself. I also expect my doctors to do the same and prioritize MY care. I am not a vessel. This isn’t the handmaids tale. The attitude that a pregnant woman is secondary to a fetus is barbaric and dangerous. You’re free to act however you want when you’re pregnant, and so am I. I exercise daily, I eat nutritious foods, I avoid listeria risks. I also have half a glass of wine on Saturday nights! The horror! If you want to act like a sip of wine will harm your child, go for it. There is evidence that drinking heavily (4-5 drinks at a time) is dangerous for a fetus, and no evidence that small or even moderate amounts of alcohol is dangerous at all. Do with that what you want. [/quote]
