Default Alcohol and Pregnancy

Alcohol is a total no-no during pregnancy. If you drink even small amounts of any alcohol, even if it is beer, it can lead to mental retardation and facial deformities of the child in the womb. Alcohol consumption while pregnant also leads to low-birth weight and slow growth in the babies. If you are in to the habit of smoking before then quit it before hand. Because if you smoke during pregnancy or eat any kind of tobacco then again the baby’s weight at birth can be low and can also lead to premature birth and miscarriage and stillbirth. So to ensure a good and healthy baby do not consume alcohol or smoke while you are pregnant.

I have heard conflicting reports on this, even from doctors. Some say any kind of alcohol is absolutely prohibited, but others suggest pregnant women have some red wine once in a while. I personally prefer to be on the safe side, I take no alcohol at all.
