Drinking While Pregnant: Not Black and White

Remember those occasional sips of wine you had while you were pregnant? Or was it just me? Well, there's no reason to feel guilty about it, according to new research involving more than 12,000 kids. It showed that moms who had the equivalent of one drink a week while pregnant did not increase their chances of having babies with mental impairments or behavioral problems. In fact, their kids were less likely to have those sorts of issues and performed better in some tests than the children of teetotalers. I should emphasize that this is about light drinking--so moms-to-be, back away from the tequila shots!
