Pregnancy Info HOME

I am not sure if this would cause the baby to move slower, but a half a glass of wine or less near the end of a pregnancy is usually approved by doctors, so it should not have a negative effect. A friend of mine would occassionally have a half a glass near the end of her pregnancy (with both her kids) and they are smart, healthy and wonderful :-) She never mentioned any slower movement.

Some midwives will actually recommend a small amount of wine especially in early stages of labor just because it's really good for you to relax a bit.
