I keep reading how good alcohol is to help you relax and sleep. Who is writing these scary articles about wine with dinner being bad for the fetus?
Perhaps you have been tuned into marketing rhetoric rather than research studies. Scientists have been studying the impact of maternal use of alcohol on the fetus for years. Alcohol is a depressive drug leading individuals to believe they are feeling relaxed. However, alcohol disrupts quality of sleep with additional trips to the bathroom, waking up craving a drink of water because alcohol is dehydrating, a shortened time spent in restorative REM sleep and deep slow-wave sleep, and a rebound alertness often between 2-4 o’clock in the morning with difficulty getting back to asleep. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has advised women to avoid all alcohol during pregnancy to lower the risk of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders—studies having shown that it is heritable to at least the third generation.
