Is there a “safe time” during pregnancy when it is considered ok to drink?

Many people believe that there is a time during early pregnancy when it is considered ok to have a few drinks. However, because a baby’s organs are already starting to form just three weeks after conception, drinking at any time during pregnancy is considered dangerous and could potentially harm the baby. The healthiest choice is to stop drinking even before trying to get pregnant. The presence of alcohol in the first few weeks of gestation might result in the most devastating effects, such as spontaneous abortion.  For more information, watch this video of medical experts on light drinking.
