I know how you feel. I'm almost 37 weeks and I want a beer so badly. But I've gone this whole time without any alcohol so I'm just going to stick it out. I've heard O'Doul's non-alcoholic beer tastes pretty good. I have a friend who drinks them. I may have to try that. I'm pretty sure 1 beer would be fine. You're in the 2nd trimester. If you really want 1, go for it. As long as you aren't going on a bender don't stress too much. Just like caffeine. In moderation it's okay.

In moderation, it is fine. I craved beer really bad with my ds and a few sips usually cured the craving.

I strangely had this desire too, even though I was never much of a beer drinker before. I believe it's a personal choice and I've read conflicting studies about the effects of moderate amounts of alcohol. For me, it was more about the taste/experience, so twice I've had non-alcoholic beers while those around me indulged. Exactly what I needed without any guilt or fear. Just a couple of strange looks from those around me :)
