There's a family wedding coming up, and some relatives might offer me a drink. I'm newly pregnant. Is it absolutely necessary to avoid all alcohol during pregnancy, or can a very small amount be okay?
Honestly, even the smell of normal food used to make me throw up, so alcohol was completely out of the question. But medically also, it is not safe at all for the baby's development. Better to stick to fresh fruit juices or coconut water to stay hydrated and safe.
It is definitely not safe, and the medical complications it can cause for the baby will lead to very expensive treatments and lifelong worries. Better to cut out alcohol completely and invest that money into good prenatal vitamins and saving for a smooth delivery.
Keeping your little baby safe is the most beautiful responsibility we have. Alcohol can directly affect your baby's growth, so please avoid it completely throughout these nine months. You will feel so proud of your strength once you hold your healthy baby in your arms.
My husband is a doctor and he always tells patients that there is absolutely no safe limit for alcohol in pregnancy. It goes straight through the placenta to the baby, which can cause severe growth issues. Please avoid it completely and opt for safe drinks like lime juice or lassi.
I just delivered my baby last month and trust me, avoiding everything risky is totally worth it. Alcohol is a big no-no during pregnancy as it can cause serious developmental issues. Just treat yourself to some nice mocktails instead!
