Every adult knows that a glass of good wine at dinner or dinner will not hurt, but will only benefit. After all, the well-known expression "Truth in wine!" Appeared for all, the ancients knew how this drink works favorably on the human body, and used it without any meditation. The benefits of wine will tell you not only the great winemakers, tasters and simple lovers, its usefulness, of course, in acceptable doses, will also confirm the luminaries of medicine. But what if you are in a position? Do not harm a glass of wine during pregnancy to you and your future child? What kind of wine can I drink to pregnant women and should I do it at all? Let's try to understand these and other issues as much as possible.
"For" or "against"? Red or white?
So how to be? The World Health Organization calls on women to completely abandon any alcohol during pregnancy, while, for example, the UK Ministry of Health, on the contrary, says that it is very useful for pregnant women to drink two glasses of wine a week. In pre-Soviet times, doctors also recommended that women in the position periodically drink half a glass of red dry wine. It was considered and it is believed that dry wine during pregnancy has a very favorable effect on the processes of hematopoiesis, and also removes from the organism of the future mother various toxic substances. White wine during pregnancy is not particularly useful, so it is better to make a choice yet in the direction of red. But here it should be remembered that wine, like any other alcohol, can not be strictly used in the first two trimester of pregnancy. Why? Because it is during this period that the organs of the child are actively formed and alcohol can harm this process, even if you drink quality alcohol, so once and for all you should remember that wine in the early stages of pregnancy can not be used in any case.
In the following weeks pregnant women can drink wine, but it is worth following the following rules:
- wine during pregnancy can be drunk in a strictly limited amount;
- you can drink only good, expensive wine;
- pregnant women can red wine, it raises hemoglobin in the blood and removes toxins.
How much wine can be pregnant?
There are many reasons why a pregnant woman wants to drink wine. A woman may want to drink to a company at a birthday party or New Year's Eve. If before the moment of conception a woman used alcohol systematically, the desire to drink is a simple habit. Sometimes, even if a woman was not a fan of wine before pregnancy, this desire can arise spontaneously - "the body requires". As we have already said, British doctors advise future mothers to drink two glasses of red wine a week, but do not include this rule in a constant diet and drink wine against your own desire. Drink wine only if you really want to - a glass, or even half a glass of red dry wine no more than once a week. Wine must be a proven, respected brand. Homemade wine during pregnancy is more suitable than any other, because in this case you can be sure that there is no chemistry in the composition that can harm you and your future baby.
What is fraught with abuse?
Everyone knows, and a pregnant woman especially, that everything is good in moderation. Remember that excessive consumption of alcohol harms not only you, but also your offspring.
Take care of yourself and your desires, but in no case forget that you and only you are responsible for the fate of your child!
