How bad is a glass of wine when you're knocked up? Very, according to a new clinical report from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).
The leading US pediatricians' group issued updated advice on Monday that warns that no amount of alcohol should be considered safe for consumption while pregnant—no matter what trimester you're in or how teeny-tiny the wineglass you imbibe from.
"The research suggests that the smartest choice for women who are pregnant is to just abstain from alcohol completely," said Dr. Janet F. Williams, one of the report's lead authors, in a statement published on the AAP's website. She believes that diagnosis of fetal alcohol spectrum disorders remain "significantly under-recognized" due to a lack of uniformly accepted diagnostic criteria.
