Does having a baby mean not having a drink?

Just because you’re pregnant, your life doesn’t need to be on hold. You still see the same people and do the same things – which, for many of us, includes having a drink.

But things aren’t quite so straightforward now. You know that everything you eat and drink can affect your baby. So should you stop drinking for the entire nine months? Or is there such a thing as a safe alcohol limit?

This booklet offers information about drinking – when you’re trying to conceive, during pregnancy, and while breastfeeding – so you can decide what’s best for you and your baby.
