Rachel Weisz Says Yes to Alcohol During Pregnancy

Oscar-winning actress Rachel Weisz has let out a can of worms with her latest statement on whether pregnant women should drink alcohol. The 35 year old British beauty who just recently gave brith to her first child was asked whether she thought a glass of wine was fine. Rachel responded, "Personally I do. They say not in the first three months though, but I think that after that it's fine. I mean in Europe they drink it". Is it a European thing or is it dangerous for a unborn child's health? What do you guys think, is this absurb or normal?

The effects of EXCESSIVE alchohol consumption during pregnancy have been known since ancient Greece (one of the few things I remember from college). However, that's EXCESSIVE use. While it's probably best to play it safe and abstain, a little bit probably wouldn't do any harm.

I just had a healthy baby girl. I occasionally had a tiny glass of wine only during the holiday's. No damage done!!!!

As an expecting Mother I just want to make people aware of the fact that everything you eat and drink gets passed through the placenta and affects your baby... while many Dr's including my own say it's OK to have 1 glass towards the end of your pregnancy... I think it is a personal choice and I would not drink while pregnant.

Pure Poppycock. There is absolutely no scientific evidence that suggests alcohol here and there has any effect on a childs brain. Fetal Alcohol Syndrome are cases of excessive alcohol abuse before and during pregnancy. And even then, we are talking a case of beer per day. EXCESSIVE. People are too uptight.

My doctor told me to drink 1 glass a day because I was anemic. I did and the iron made me not feel so drug down and tired everyday. I highly recommend it. My daughter is very healthy and was a straight A student all through school.

i think its wrong, you shouldnt drink it because it can altar your childs brain.

I think it's all being blown out of proportion. Doctors here (Ireland) recommend that women drink a glass of guinness with blackcurrent or a glass of red wine a day. It's not like Rachel said that she thinks a bottle or two of wine a day is okay!

One glass once in a blue moon won't hurt. I know some doctors actually tell there patients to drink a beer a day for the yeast?? Everything in moderation, I suppose!
