Hi! 31 weeks pregnant nd i feel great cravings of smelling alcohol since about 28-29 weeks. is it wrong, if yes, how can i avoid? i can't resist it.

Smelling is ok: Drinking is bad, very bad for baby. Consuming 1 or more ounces per day of pregnancy can lead to fetal alcohol syndrome.

For the sake: of your baby you will need to avoid alcohol. If the cravings are that bad it suggests you may have had issues with alcohol prior to the pregnancy. If so, or even if not you need to seek professional addiction help now.
