Pregnancy and alcohol don't mix. Why take the risk?
Common Myths:
Myth: My doctor said it's fine to have a glass of wine or two while pregnant.
Your doctor might not be informed about the risk of prenatal alcohol exposure or could be uncomfortable talking with you about the risks to your embryo or fetus associated with prenatal alcohol use. Unfortunately, many doctors are not properly educated about the risks associated with prenatal alcohol exposure. The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) advises women to not consume any alcohol while pregnant
