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.
