Can I eat a glass of wine while pregnant?
There is no known safe amount of alcohol, including wine, to drink during pregnancy.

Oh mama, I know there can be lots of different advice out there, but authoritative guidelines are very clear on this one. Organizations like the CDC, NHS, and Mayo Clinic all strongly recommend completely avoiding alcohol, including wine, at every stage of pregnancy. This is because alcohol passes directly to your baby through the placenta, and their developing body can't process it like yours can.
Drinking alcohol during pregnancy, even in small amounts, can increase the risk of serious issues for your little one, such as miscarriage, premature birth, low birth weight, and lifelong conditions known as Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD). These can affect their learning, behavior, and physical development. So, the safest choice for your baby is to skip that glass of wine entirely.
Always check with your OB for personalized advice and support, mama.
