Is it dangerous to drink alcohol during pregnancy?

chanfrado @chanfrado (1157) • Portugal 18 Dec 06

Drinking alcohol during pregnancy can be dangerous to the mother and the baby. Babies born to mothers who drink during pregnancy may have health problems. What do you think about it?

hockeygal4ever @hockeygal4ever (10021) • United States 22 Feb 07

Many of us get so caught up in the issues of today and the every day drama of life that we forget to honestly step back and take a look at what we have. I would venture to guess that if you're reading these discussions on MyLot...

ellen02038 I don't think there is any "good" number. It all depends on the parents temperment, kids temperments, financial issues and many other issues. I only have 1 due to infertility and it has turned out great. My son has many issues so maybe that is all I was meant...
