'Light' Drinking Appears to Be Safe in Pregnancy
It’s about time this has been publically stated. I knew of a pregnant bride who drank ginger ale, which she detested, for her wedding toast, rather than risk even a ceremonial sip of champagne. That was going too far. If you need a half a glass of wine in the second or third trimester, go for it - better than stress for the baby.
Note - I say “half a glass” because most modern wine glasses are at least twice as large what the medical community considers “one drink.” But that’s a topic for another day.
