To have one small glass of red wine at 38 weeks pregnant?

I’m not a drinker at all but DH gets a bottle of red once or twice a month and tonight I really fancy just a very small glass, I’m a weirdo (according to DH) who likes ice in red wine on the rare occasion I have it. DH is only having one glass just in case I was to go into labour and he had to drive to hospital. So I was thinking of having a tiny amount with some ice and enjoying sipping it whilst watching tv in my pjs however I’m not sure if this is totally out of order or reasonable? Would you? Or did you? I haven’t touched alcohol at all since finding out I am pregnant at 4 weeks.

Please don’t!

If you’re asking on here, you sound like the kind of woman who’ll worry if you have it. I wouldn’t, but I sympathise — I had a lovely bottle of Chardonnay in the fridge from the day before I found out I was pregnant. It taunted me for nine long months!

Would you give your newborn a very small glass of wine in their bottle? No. As tempting as it is, the risks aren't worth it.

Of course yanbu.
