Did you drink alcohol at all during your pregnancies?

[raffy]

Yep, every few weeks we go round to our friends house or they come to ours for drinks so I'd have 1 glass of wine or 1 cider. Also with DS1 I was still working so when I finished on a Friday OR Saturday night it was nice to come home and enjoy a bevvy with DH. Never more than 1 or 2 a week though

I can't really remember exacts but with all three pregnancies i possibly had a couple. I'm pretty sure it was only ever on 'special occasions' and still at that it wasn't something that i really enjoyed.

I never felt a 'craving' for a drink whilst pregnant.

[Arimeh]

Yes

With DS I got absolutely smashed at a work function, 3 days later I found out I was pregnant. Did not touch it all the way through pregnancy.

With DD1 - I didn't have any except for when I was a week overdue and my OB suggested I have a glass of red wine to help relax because she thought I was too stressed out to go into labour.

With DD2 - I had a red wine every now and then, maybe once every 3 months.

With DD3 - Probably a glass of wine every 2 months.

Not excessive by any means.

Yep.
dj: Mouthfull of champers when we told the family.
Drank at our wedding. And.christmas.too.plus a glass of red once a week.

Vic: yep. Beer once a week or a champers for special occanions.

I had 1 glass of wine at the start of my pregnancy with DD1 but didn't have any with DD2.

With my DD I was out and drank myself stupid. 1 week later found out I was pregnant and didn't have any afterwards.

With this pregnancy I haven't had a drop. I'm not a big drinker (although had a massive weekend end of October!)

[kbean]

Nope. I stopped drinking while we were TTC - not a big deal as I wasn't a big drinker at all anyway. Didn't touch it all the way through pg. Haven't had a drink while I'm BFing either - I tried a sip of DH's beer a couple of months ago and found I couldn't stand the taste of it anyway!

[Miss.September]

No. I do miss the odd glass of wine because I like to have a glass while I'm cooking. But I guess not knowing what has caused my miscarriages makes me err on the side of caution with both food and drink.

I haven't had anything since I found out we were expecting. I am planning on enjoying half a glass of champagne at my baby shower though. I figure 1/2 a glass at 36 weeks is fine.

[fionas]

With DD1 I had about two wines per week.

With DD2 I was doing the same until I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes. Even half a glass of wine made me feel completely exhausted so I stopped.

[aussienic]

I would have the occasional beer but never spirits or wine (I don't like wine though) and by occasional I mean maybe 3 or 4 over the whole duration and sometimes it was just half a beer I never drank while breastfeeding. Although with DD I had a few drinks at night when I stopped BF at night. I always made sure I stopped drinking at midnight and didn't feed her till around 9 the next day (she was well over 1)

[Starfish]

I had the odd glass of wine (half wine/half soda water) or champagne. Funnily enough, DD is 4 now and I still drink my wine watered down, as it tastes too strong otherwise.

[loulabelle]

yes. I've had a few weddings when I've been pregnant where I've had a small glass of champagne. also at Christmas.

I stopped drinking whilst TTC and didn't drink anything through my pregnancy either.

Me too. I honestly don't know what, if any, affect a little alcohol would have but I preferred to have none at all just in case. What I found really frustrating was the pressure that I got from others to drink, with the main offenders being my ILs.

[blessedatlast]

I craved red wine so had a glass for my 30th and didn't even finish it. I found once I tasted it I didn't feel like it.

[STARRYSKY]

I had half a glass of moet at a cousins wedding (16 wks preg) and a glass of Bollinger (my fave!) on my 10th anniversary night (26wks preg) that was it.

[shan23]

Yep, a very tiny sip to taste a ****tail at work one night. That was it though.
