Is red wine okay during pregnancy?

I'm in my first trimester and really craving a glass of red wine. My friends have given me mixed advice. Can someone tell me if red wine is okay during pregnancy, even in small amounts?

As a sleep-deprived parent, I can tell you that raising a child is exhausting, but pregnancy is definitely not the time for wine. Any amount of alcohol can harm the baby's development. Stick to mocktails for now and save the wine for a few years down the line!

There is no known safe limit for alcohol consumption during pregnancy. Even red wine can cross the placenta and affect the baby's growth and brain development. It is always best to stay completely away from alcohol until your baby is safely born.

Dekho, pregnancy mein alcohol bilkul mana hai, koi ifs and buts nahi hain isme. Red wine ho ya white, it can cause serious developmental issues for the baby. Please avoid it completely for your child's safety.

I have thyroid issues and had a highly monitored pregnancy, and doctors are extremely strict about alcohol. It is vital to get your routine blood tests and checkups done regularly. Avoid any red wine completely, as it is unsafe for the baby.
