Alcohol & 2ww

[*LittleMissSummer*]

I got a tad drunk at a work function a week before finding out and i had a few beers one night a couple of days before getting my BFP.

We're choosing to abstain here, and we're only drinking during my period. Mind you, there are a lot of alcohol-induced pregnancies which are just fine ...

I actually put off doing an HPT for a couple of days because I knew I had a night out planned with the girlies and I didn't want to not be able to drink if I knew I was UTD.

It's a personal thing really but I'm of the opinion that a couple of drinks while you are to find out can't do you or the baby any harm.

when I had some "odd" feelings thinking I might have been pregnant (waiting to test) I did have a couple but limited it.

GL!

Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. Depends what I feel at the time. After a long time waiting, I can see how the need to feel normal is massive, and that's why I didn't abstain on my most recent TWW (and got a BFP!)

A really good decoy is to drink water out of empty beer bottles. (west coast cooler bottles are good too!) I found this works particularly well if there's any peer pressure or if you want to keep it a secret.

Good luck!

My hen's night was the week after we conceived, so I didn't know I was pregnant - I got the drunkest I've ever been (I'm not much of a drinker, so I'm not great at realising I've had too much until it's all settled into me) and seriously embarrassed myself.

And yes, I know you're looking down at my sig and seeing that I lost my son, but it had nothing to do with my drinking - it was "one of those things" and was a completely normal pregnancy. He came out normal except for the fact that his heart wasn't beating.

I did have the thought early on in my pregnancy that maybe it would have affected the baby, but I was assured that at that point, the egg probably hadn't implanted so there was no way it would have transferred to bubs.

Of course that had nothing to do with it! You need a big
Anyone who thinks even for a minute that a few drinks might have been the cause of Ianto's stillness needs some serious help.
