I just wanna ask how bad alcohol could be during pregnancy. When I had my first pregnancy, I stopped every urge of munching sweets and unhealthy foods, prevented drinking sodas and foods high in preservatives and also didn't taste a single drop of alcohol. I've had a friend who was pregnant a little ahead of me. She occasionally drank alcohol during her 1st trimester. Years later, her child is healthy and seems to be that there's no problem at all.
Do you have any ideas on the pros and cons of drinking alcoholic drinks while pregnant?

Fetal Alcohol Syndrome
That's FAS or Fetal Alcohol Syndrome
Pregnancies do vary. Your friend might be very lucky that her child is doing well now. It might also be because your friend didn't actually drank high amount of alcohol on that time. You really can't prove if she did so. My OB says it's high alcohol consumption when pregnant is very dangerous to the baby as it does cross the placenta. When a baby has FAS, he may have physical and mental defects unfortunately.
Thanks for that FAS explanation Adalira.
I know it's not good for the baby, it's just that the results might vary. Of course, I'm not- and will never- wish something wrong should be happening to others taking alcohol while pregnant but I just get shocked with the irony of life that some who are uber-careful tend to have pregnancy full of complications whilst others who just went with the flow do otherwise. Ironic, really.

Alcohol during pregnancy? It's a big no-no for me.
Oh, I drank a bit of wine when I was about 2 months pregnant. Will 3 gulps hurt?
Honey, don't worry about 3 gulps of wine... You should start worrying if you downed 3 bottles of wine in one night! 3 gulps of wine won't hurt your baby
