There is "surprisingly limited" evidence that light drinking during pregnancy poses any risk to the baby, say UK researchers.
They reviewed all the available studies done on the topic since the 1950s and found no convincing proof that a drink or two a week is harmful.
The Bristol University team stress this does not mean it is completely safe.
They say women should avoid all alcohol throughout pregnancy "just in case", as per official guidelines.
But women who have had small amounts to drink in pregnancy should be reassured that they are unlikely to have harmed their baby.
