i dont drink much myself and would not risk it while pg
all you have to do is ask your self are you prepared to live with the consequences of having that drink if baby does get FAS. being that there is no way to tell till baby is born.

I was just going to say what megrac did - If you are happy to live with the possible consequences then by all means have a drink but personally once I knew I was pregnant I didn't/won't touch a drop.

I never realised it was like a roulette wheel as someone put, buts its soo good to know now, I thought ( mainly due to my mum always going on about how she drank wine all the time when pregnant with me and my brother)that you had to drink heaps to have an effect on the baby.
Thanks guys definately good to know - non alcoholic drinks for me in Raro now, feel guilty about the few drinks I had when pregnant last time I was lucky I guess

Hey, don't feel guilty! The powers that be change their advice all the time, it is amazing how we are all supposed to keep up. You should be congratulated for caring so much that you are looking to see what other people think and making an informed choice - that is heaps more than many people do!
Just make sure that you have a really nice break :)

I did have sips here and there while pregnant. For some reason, not being allowed to have it, made me want it more! (I don't drink much at all).
Luckily, that satisfied my cravings.

DF aunty drunk like a thirsty horse with her girl, she doesn't have FAS but is a wee behind (hope that doesn't sound mean). My aunties sister on the other hand had about 3 half glasses of wine - one for each seperate social occasion and her bubs has FAS. Wheres the justice in that? But thats why I don't drink, you don't know when your at your most vunerable, it can affect bubs at any time.
