You guys sound like an awesome couple to be bringing a baby into the world. You in particular are quite the catch. Can I guess as to your vocation? Possibly budding DJ star/music producer/white rap artist?


Can child services take a child away from someone before it is born?

There is no known safe level of alcohol for pregnant women.

However, there is no concrete evidence that low alcohol consumption i.e. 1-2 drinks, can cause adverse effects. Having said that and given the initial statement, the recommendations are to refrain from alcohol use.

Nice. Did you guys share a pack of Camels and a rock of crack while you were at it?

Just tell her the child would be better off if you're not the father...now if only there were a chance she's not the mother...

There's obviously some problems in this thread but consuming 2 alcoholic drinks per occasion during pregnancy is not at the top of the list.

In fact, the latest study (Int J Epidemiol. 2009 Feb;38(1):129-40) has shown the opposite. Less likelihood of problems and higher scores in children born to mothers who drank lightly even when adjusted for socioeconomic factors. Some of you are misinformed.

Boys born to mothers who had up to 1-2 drinks per week or per occasion were less likely to have conduct problems (OR 0.59, 95% CI 0.45-0.77) and hyperactivity (OR 0.71, 95% CI 0.54-0.94). These effects remained in fully adjusted models. Girls were less likely to have emotional symptoms (OR 0.72, 95% CI 0.51-1.01) and peer problems (OR 0.68, 95% CI 0.52-0.92) compared with those born to abstainers. These effects were attenuated in fully adjusted models. Boys born to light drinkers had higher cognitive ability test scores [standard deviations, (95% CI)] BAS 0.15 (0.08-0.23) BSRA 0.24 (0.16-0.32) compared with boys born to abstainers. The difference for BAS was attenuated on adjustment for socio-economic factors, whilst the difference for BSRA remained statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS: Children born to mothers who drank up to 1-2 drinks per week or per occasion during pregnancy were not at increased risk of clinically relevant behavioural difficulties or cognitive deficits compared with children of abstinent mothers. Heavy drinking during pregnancy appears to be associated with behavioural problems and cognitive deficits in offspring at age 3 years whereas light drinking does not.
