You shouldn’t drink at all. Even a little bit.

Sure, people drink while pregnant. People also do a lot of things that can harm their kids. That does not make it safe. There is no known safe amount of alcohol in pregnancy, and prenatal alcohol exposure can cause lifelong harm. This really should be a question for a doctor, not online

there is not a safe amount of alcohol you can have a whole bottle of wine or a glass of alcohol and baby be fine or you can have a sip of something and it’ll harm baby it’s best to stay away from alcohol while being pregnant mama ! the second i found out i was pregnant i stopped vaping immediately i feel like it’s harder the second time around but anything for the health of my baby 🥰

No amount of alcohol is safe! And if you slip up please disclose that to your OB-Gyn, so they can monitor and track your child. But I would say avoid it as much as you can. Ask for help and guidance if that seems like a struggle.

After reading Emily Osters " Expecting Better" I decided to do the European thing and sip on some wine with dinner. Honestly after a few sips I was not into it. I get that we might be overreacting in the US and that plenty of people in Europe are sipping wine during pregnancy but I learned that it's not for me. Not worth the potential harm. If I'm at a gathering where people are drinking, there are plenty of NA options that are great. If you like beer Athletic Brewing makes really good NA beers. Spindrift mocktails are great.. The reality is we aren't in Europe and therefore don't drink like Europeans do. But there are many flaws with the studies on drinking during pregnancy.

Unknowingly before I found out I was pregnant, yes. But like superrr early on. Once I found out I was pregnant, I never took a single sip. I felt bad but we were on vacation and I had a drink or 2. Had no clue I was pregnant.
