A woman who is 14 weeks pregnant tells the nurse that she always had a glass of wine with dinner before she became pregnant. She has abstained during her first trimester and would like to know if it is safe for her to have a drink with dinner now. The nurse would tell her:

Since you’re in your second trimester, you can drink as much as you like.

Since you’re in your second trimester, there’s no problem with having one drink with dinner.

Because no one knows how much or how little alcohol it takes to cause fetal problems, the best course is to abstain throughout your pregnancy.

One drink every night is too much. One drink three times a week should be fine.
