Brief Answer:
No on alcohol during pregnancy

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for contacting HCM with your health care questions and concerns.

You are wondering if you can drink alcohol while pregnant. Everything you eat or drink is going to affect your baby and that includes drinking alcohol. During this time your child is taking the nutrients you are providing and using them to grow and develop. Alcohol has been directly related to affecting the baby with learning disabilities and fetal alcohol syndrome. I strongly urge and counsel you not to drink alcohol tonight or any night until after the baby is born.

I hope I answered your question. Please contact HCM again with your health related concerns and questions
