I never thought I would ever have alcohol when pregnant. A lot of my friends have a glass (just 1) at special occasions and I was SURE that would never be me. But now that I'm sitting pretty in the safety of the second trimester, my eye has darted to my favorite wine in the grocery store, and I've thought, "What about a glass for our 1 year anniversary? Or my birthday in July?" It shocked me that my brain went "there," but it did, and now I'm really wondering...
I was talking to a friend's husband who is a doctor- not MY doctor- and he brought it up and said that the average alcohol content in a glass of wine is around 13%, and in 1 glass, it's simply not enough to cross the placenta to the baby.
What do you ladies think? If you feel comfortable sharing any personal experiences, I'd love to hear them:)
