You don’t NEED to drink during pregnancy, but you often to need to get into a car during pregnancy? You can avoid drinking during pregnancy but a car is pretty essential. They’re not the same at all.

That's why I specified non essential journeys in my post.

There's no 'safe' amount of anything however.

We weigh up tiny risks every single day. Everytime a pregnant woman gets in a car, they're taking a tiny risk that will result in harm to their baby. Yet I never see calls to limit non necessary journeys.

any decent mother to be would not touch a drop of something toxic which may or may not (100% not certain) have a detrimental effect on her unborn baby. For what? A decent mother to be with any kind of common sense, let alone education, wouldn't even want to have this discussion.

And now, without evidence to back up your position, you're into emotional blackmail. Gotcha.

I think it's the classic 'everyone who doesn't agree with me is stooopid' response.

Well it's a bit sad to even have this discussion tbh...any decent mother to be would not touch a drop of something toxic which may or may not (100% not certain) have a detrimental effect on her unborn baby. For what? A decent mother to be with any kind of common sense, let alone education, wouldn't even want to have this discussion. Also those saying it's fine ought to be ashamed of themselves because they can't know for sure the actual effect of this the baby's brain.

Not sure why people can’t just not drink whilst pregnant. Why would you risk it, for what reason? There’s no ‘safe’ amount, and I think it’s very selfish that people are willing to put their baby at risk.

Third trimester, I know it's not recommended but ... really fancy a glass of wine. Would you?

You’ll regret posting this OP.

Does that "stupid" include all of the medical professionals and research scientists who say that one glass in the third trimester (and two in the second) does no harm?

It does make sense. Food is turned into energy which then goes into the mother's blood and to the baby. It doesn't matter what food it is is the same process.
However alcohol as a psychoactive substance can pass to the baby and impact them. It's the same with pharmaceutical drugs which is why we caution on which ones can be taken during pregnancy.

This makes no sense. Once the baby is born, it should only be fed milk. So should the OP stick to drinking milk only while pregnant. Don't be silly.

Yet there is zero evidence that one small glass of wine has any ill effects.

It makes no sense if you don't understand how body processes food as opposed to alcohol. Alcohol is absorbed into your blood which you share with the baby. The effect on the baby's blood alcohol is no different than if it had drank the wine. Chips are not absorbed into your blood as chips. It's not like feeding the baby chips.

Fgs that you even have to ask this question shows that you can't care enough about the possible effects this could have on your baby. And for what? Is it worth it?!
