Usually nothing to worry about, but once you find out stop. If you mean The week after your period, you are not yet pregnant so no problem, and even if you mean the week after ovulation the embryo hasn't yet implanted so still no problem. However if you are planning a pregnancy it is wise to minimise your alcohol intake (both of you) to ensure maximum fertility and health for you and your baby.

Best advice is to refrain from all smoking (and say out of smoky areas), drinking and all drugs not prescribed for you by a qualified medical doctor when you intend to become pregnant, while you are pregnant and while you are breast feeding.

Well, you should always know that alcohol consumption during pregnancy poses risks to your baby. It is quite the debatable topic though, some people think that drinking 1/2 a glass of red wine is okay while others believe that is just isn't worth risking it at all. Check out the related links.

Several important points are worth noting about drinking while pregnant:

• Because it's impossible to "prove a negative," opponents of drinking alcohol can always and forever say that "no safe limit on consumption has been proven"

• There appears to be no evidence that drinking in moderation (no more than one drink of beer, wine or distilled spirits) by pregnant women has ever caused Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) or otherwise harmed a single baby. The burden of proof lies on those who contend that such drinking is harmful and they have not been able to do so.

• Women who choose to drink in moderation while pregnant can do so with knowledge that their decision is consistent with scientific evidence.

• There is always the possibility that some as yet unidentified harm to a baby might result from light or moderate drinking during pregnancy.

• Given the above possibility, even if remote, the very safest choice for an expectant mother's fetus would be to abstain.

• Women who are pregnant or plan to become pregnant should discuss the matter with their own physician or health care provider.

Only if it has made your health bad so it effects the pregnancy that way. It can affect your chances of getting pregnant though and if you drink before you know you are pregnant.

Alcohol is not good for anyone but when a pregnant woman drinks it the fetus gets it too and that is bad and can lead to serious problems. So yes, it's bad.

Better not have any alcohol if you're pregnant. But it depends if you mean literally "a sip" - anything in moderation should be okay but it's still better safe than sorry right?
