    Hi girls, thanks for all the responses... hate the idea of alcohol free champers (and the relatives-in-law are seasoned champagne drinkers so they'd know in a heartbeat!), but I might try the the half strength one. And you're right - everything in moderation. Just think of all those pregnancies out there that weren't planned, and weren't found out about ... It just sucks, I want to know now!!

    I'm on my 2ww too and will certainly be enjoying a drink (one or two) over Christmas. I've really cut back since TTC but it's Christmas and I'm going to enjoy myself! And like the others have said it doesn't actually pass through to your bubs until 6 weeks (I actually thought it was 12) when the placenta attaches it self to you.

    Good Luck.

    I find that no one questions me if I simply walk around with a drink in my hand and take a few sips. I get my dh to have some when no one is looking or wander off to the bathroom and empty some of it down the sink.

    I find it easier than having everyone watch me. I hate it when people know you're trying to conceive. It seems like an unasked question that hangs there as the months go by and you're still not utd!

    Well i NEVER drank in my 2WW's for 7mths while ttc but in our last cycle before the BFP we went to a wedding and i was in my 2WW but only was going to have 2 or 3 drinks but ended up having quite a few more than that and the next day had the urge to pee on a stick and well, well a BFP!!! I was only 3wks4days pg so very early stages anyway....
    I had almost given up ttc and wasnt thinking about it much that last 2 weeks anyway i think that really helped!!!

    I think you'll be fine to have a few drinks. If it's meant to be, it's meant to be remember that

    Like someone else said, once you are about 6wks pg onwards i think that's quite a crucial stage of development for the feotus.

    many many babies have been concieved over a few drinks probably half the population and somehow all managed to survive...... maybe thats counts for all the dumb ones

    or just maybe things will be fine

    Not pregnant
    Think I miscalculated ovulation by 2 days.
    Disappointed. Like everyone, I just thought it would happen miraculously the first time I tried.
    Oh well.... bring on January.
