A:The Department of Health's current guidelines state that pregnant women should avoid drinking alcohol at any stage.If you do drink,the guidelines say you shouldn't be getting drunk.We do know that some alcohol will go through the placenta and reach your baby.In the first three months,drinking alcohol can increase the risk of miscarriage,so the best thing is to avoid a tipple altogether.
Lots of women panic,as they've already been drinking before they realised they were pregnant.If that's the case with you,then the best thing you can do is concentrate on eating and drinking as healthily as you can from now on to give your baby the best start possible.
