With DS I had one mouthful of champagne for the toast at my bestie's wedding. Had to grit my teeth to swallow it as it tasted foul.....I've never been able to drink during pregnancy because of the way my tastes change.
Yep. I had the (very) odd glass of champers or wine when in the last trimester with both boys. When I say odd, I mean it was pretty rare that I drank it ... but I had my then-obstetrician's full consent providing it was just one glass very occasionally. My biggest issue with it is that it gave me reflux!
None the first time around. A couple here & there during my pregnancies with the other 3. Usually my choice was a half nip in a middy glass so it wasn't a strong drink. No premix drinks.
Never enough to feel the effects. Just for the flavour... or to destress once.
Yes, with my first pg I didn b/c I didn't know I was pg, I was travelling overseas and enjoying 1 or 2 glasses a night with dinner. With my other pgs I stopped b/c of my multiple m/c & I didn't want to increase any risk to my babies, (apart from DD, all my other pg ended in m/c) or be wondering 'what if?' I have also stopped whilst doing IVF
Dont want any flack, but yes I drank during my pregnancies. a glass of wine here and there or a glass of beer. 1 of my friends, said her mum was ok to drink cause its got vitamin B in it lol I didnt drink alot but sometimes u need it. I know a couple who did everything by the book and had a child that is challenged and I know a drug addict whos child is fine. Im not saying do drugs or get ****ed, but I think some of it is left to fate alittle. Each women will do what she does and she knows if its harm or not for her.
I was super paranoid about that kind of thing, I didn't drink in the 5 months we were TTC, all through the pregnancy and then BF as well! Lol. In hindsight, maybe not necessary. This time I had the occasional drink when TTC, but now that I'm pg, I won't. But like others have said, I'm not a big drinker anyway, so it's not a big deal and I don't miss it.
I guess nobody knows what harm it might do, but I don't want to take any chances.
