Drinking during pregnancy is 'safe'

Pregnant women can safely drink a small glass of wine each day, official advice is set to say.

The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (Nice) has produced draft guidance stating that pregnant women can consume up to 1.5 units of alcohol a day after the first three months of pregnancy.

The recommendation contradicts the Department of Health, which in May advised pregnant women and those trying to conceive to cut alcohol altogether rather than limit it.
