Did you drink alcohol at all during your pregnancies?

i haven't either...actually, i may have licked the sugar off a glass of DP's frozen martini when i was PG with DS, but that's it!

when i booked in to hospital this time there was someone from the murdoch children's research institute there & she asked me if i'd like to participate in a survey they're doing about women drinking during PG. i said yes because as she explained it, there's never been an in depth study to see if it has any impact & i figure why not. i've had to complete a survey in both the 1st & 2nd tri & did a DNA swab (inside of the mouth). i have another survey to do at around 36 weeks & then they offer some 3D photos (or something - can't remember) when baby is 1 & then a full developmental review at 2yrs (both of these are optional). sorry, bit off topic but thought it was interesting to hear that someone was doing research in the area

Sloane, Im in the same study but at the Womens....(acqa or something like that)

I don't drink but funnily I craved Baileys throughout most of my pregnancy with DD. I never had it though but as soon as I had her the craving went away.
I haven't had any with this pregnancy.

My DH and his whole family enjoy a drink most nights and he thinks I'm being silly for not wanting to drink (anytime not just when pregnant) but I never really got into it and don't see why I should force myself to drink when I don't enjoy it. I just ignore them now and do my own thing. My MIL used to make a big deal about buying 'coke zero' especially for me when we went to stay at their place (1.25lt drunk over two weeks).....apparently that's worse than alcohol in their mind!
