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

[baby2c]

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.

Of course yanbu.

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.

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!

Please don’t!

I would

My mum was told to have port every month when pregnant with me, to help with iron! I turned out fine, and she says she has no regrets.

Of course you can !!

I think it's OK yes.

I wouldn't, and didn't. You made it this far, what's another couple of weeks? Just wait!

No from me.

Why not a glass of non Alcock old red?’?

I wouldn’t and didn’t.

Yes I wouod

The fact that you are asking suggests that it's best you don't. You haven't long to go - good luck!

One small glass of red wine sipped slowly will get filtered out by your liver without going anywhere near your baby.

The choice is yours but medically and statistically there is no risk, don’t let anyone freak you out.

”Expecting Better” by Emily Oster is a great source of actual information on this kind of thing.

Come off it, like that’s even close to being the same thing 😂

You're fine..a very small glass of red will do no harm. Enjoy!

Genuinely interested if you a) truly believe that it is the same as directly feeding a baby a glass of wine and b) what you think the ‘risks’ are?

Yes, the baby is fully cooked by this point so I don't really see the issue. But then I had a small glass of bolly one Xmas when 30 something weeks pg !!

Red wine with coca cola and loads of ice is nice !! It's a thing!

I would.

This might be the most comment on the internet today.
OP have you wine, every single scientist says that amount is totally fine

Non alcoholic Guinness is lovely and very realistic (unlike n/a wine imo) - would that be to your taste?

NHS

According to the NHS, there is no known safe level of alcohol consumption during pregnancy; the safest option is to avoid alcohol completely. Drinking alcohol at any stage of pregnancy can harm your baby,

I used to be a leader with the LLL and honestly I would not worry about this. It is a tiny amount. Once.

a pregnancy is constantly full-term from 37 weeks….

Sorry that was ‘most stupid comment’
