Binge drinking when pregnant might not harm fetus
Categories: Nutrition & Supplements
Here's the scenario: You had a night out with the girls in which you drank way too many tequila shooters and ended up with the hangover of your life the next day. But it doesn't compare to the guilt and worry you feel when you realize that you're pregnant. Oh no! Did you harm the baby?
New studies are showing that in most cases, a one-off drinking binge will not lead to long-term effects for your baby. But that's not to say that you should feel free to go on a bender in your third trimester, but rather, if you messed up, you shouldn't beat yourself up over it.
I don't want to sound like a fuddy duddy but it should be said that binge drinking is never a good idea, whether you're trying for a baby or not.
