[quote=Anonymous]Its a question of dealing with the lowest common denominator in society. For some women, if you tell them you can have 1-2 glasses a week, they will wake up passed out in a gutter on the reg. So in the society we live in, medical malpractice and all, doctors HAVE to tell every patient that no amount of alcohol is safe.

My doctor told me this, and also said Id have to drink a bottle of wine every day in my first trimester to even potentially do any damage to baby. Think about the Middle Ages, water was rancid and deadly and all anyone drank was fermented something or other. Yet we exist.

As a rational human being, I categorically know that having a wine and seltzer once every few weeks is doing zero harm to my baby. I like the taste of it, and it reminds me of some semblance of my previous non-babymaking life. There are SO many other things that a pregnant woman could be more concerned with; pesticides, hormones, fragrance, air pollution and listeria just to name a few. RELAX![/quote]
