Drinking While Pregnant: Would You Risk It?
Some recent research is indicating that is may not be so terrible if a pregnant woman consumes alcohol while pregnant. What do you think?
Drinking alcohol while pregnant has been pretty much taboo in recent decades. Yet, a series of 2012 studies conducted in Denmark may be indicating that a little sip of wine - or perhaps even a whole glass - during pregnancy could be OK. Howevery, the results of the studies are far from definitive and surely don't help mothers-to-be draw the line between what's safe and what's not. When I was pregnant, I didn't want to take any risks and I made sure not to even have a sip of wine. I have friends who drank a glass here or there while pregnant and their children appear to be just as happy and healthy as my own. What are your thoughts about drinking alcohol during pregnancy?
