Drinking While Pregnant

So as well know I have babies on the brain so whenever I see anything that has the word "pregnancy" "pregnant" or "baby" I immediately read it. I came across THIS ARTICLE that I thought was pretty interesting. It's such a  different time now than it was 30 years ago. My mother openly admits that she drank gin and tonics and smoked cigarettes the whole time she was pregnant with me and she always likes to add "you were the perfect baby and you turned out fine".I am in no way shape or form saying that it is okay or even something I would do while pregnant but I think it's funny that now people are saying it may be okay to have the occasional drink. I love my wine, I really do. I have a deep love for Pinot Noir,Zinfandel, Shiraz, Merlot and Cabernet. The thought of going a whole 9+ months without a glass is quite sad but on the flip side I have a feeling Iwill not miss it when I know I have a little person growing inside me.  I feel like there are so many things you should or shouldn't do while pregnant, it's a bit overwhelming. We have a ways to go so I guess I will just keep reading up...with a  glass of wine in hand.
