I found out that non-alcoholic beer still contains some alcohol. I've been drinking that since I got pregnant (about one a night) is there a large chance that my baby has birth defects?

ArmyMedic agony auntNo low or non-alcohol beer will not seriously affect your babies development. Just speak to your Midwife/health visitor/doctor for the best advice though.

Ginalolabridga agony auntTry and treat the child inside you with the best nourishment you can get low alcohol could affect your baby i would be asking my health visitor's advice on this she will know exactly what harm your causing if any. They dont tell pregnant women to saty away from certain things whilst pregnant for nothing it is for the good of the baby and the mother. Why not replace the low alcoholic beer with fruit smoothies packed with fruit you can make then yourself and are far more healthy to drink than this beer.

Replacement agony auntWell I remember reading a while ago that some doctors in the UK were rethinking the ban on alcohol for pregnant women because they weren't convinced that small amounts of alcohol actually harmed the baby. One nonalcoholic beer a night probably hasn't done any harm, but if you're concerned I suggest you talk to a doctor. Or just stop drinking it.

satindesire agony auntYes, there's a slim chance the alcohol can negatively affect the health of your baby. It's safest to stop drinking all together, even low alcohol beer.
