Any amt. of alcohol : At any time during pregnancy can impact fetal development. Some of the factors that determine level of risk are maternal age, health, smoking, # of pregnancies ; pattern of drinking (4 or more drinks within 2 hours raises blood alcohol concentration in the fetus more than 1 drink/day for 4 days.) see http://fasdcenter.Samhsa.Gov. Your OB ; pediatrician should provide support, not judgment.
