Was chatting to a pregnant friend today and she said the current guidelines are no alcohol at all during pregnancy due to behaviuorial problems further down the line. When I was pregnant 2 years ago the guidelines were 1 or 2 units a week so I regularly had a glass of wine with my evening meal. Ds has no behaviourial problems but my friend seemed quite shocked. So quick Mumsnet poll to see where this evidence came from - if you did the same have your kids experienced any of these behaviourial problmes???

Asked another pregnant friend about this as she is not drinking. She said when she asked her midwife, her midwife asked her how much alcohol she would give to a newborn. Shocked - my friend said 'none!' Exactly, said the midwife, so why would you risk giving any to an unborn... Good point I thought.
