Let’s face it: challenges related to COVID-19 can be stressful. The COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic has changed all our lives so dramatically that fear and anxiety may be starting to show itself. In these unsettling times, it’s only natural to turn to things that make us feel better in order to cope with the chaos that is surrounding us. People react differently to stressful situations, and they don’t always look for healthy ways to cope. In fact, it’s not uncommon to want to have a glass of wine (or more) during a stressful situation. If you are pregnant, we want to remind you that there is no safe time, amount, or type of alcohol to consume during pregnancy.

We understand that the current state of the world is very confusing and stressful. COVID-19 is a new virus and we are still trying to determine how it spreads, the severity of illness it causes, and to what extent it may spread. If you are pregnant, we also understand that might cause increased anxiety about all of the unknowns. Please keep the following in mind:
