Can One Drink Wine During Pregnancy?

My wife found out last week she was 1-2 weeks pregnant per ClearBlue. I presumed this meant 3-4 weeks pregnant. This week, she went out with friends on friday and in her words had 2 sips of wine. She estimates less than an oz of wine. Before she found out she was pregnant, she had probably 1-2 glasses of wine a week and she took Plan B once. Now I am worried she did irreparable damage to our baby ... I am talking about brain development rather than anything that will be a physical abnormality

HI,
I have gone through your query & understood your concern.
- Driking any type of alcohol is hazardus to baby & mother too.
but what she has taken before knowing of pregnancy can escape the disadvantage.. provided she quits taking it any more.
-But Plan B IS TOTALLY CONTRAINDICATED IN PREGNANCY. It is known to cause congenital malformations in baby.... I would advise MTP to her.
- To give birth to a physically handicapped/ crippled baby is as painful as giving birth to a mentally affected baby. Better to remove it.
Thanks.
