Did you drink alcohol at all during your pregnancies?

None with any of my pregnancies.

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 craved baileys during my recent pregnancy too! However, since he was born the craving went away and i still haven't had a drink. i don't drink during pregnancy, and don't think i have even haf a full drink since i was first pregnant with my DD. i don't have a problem with drinking while breastfeeding, i just haven't felt like it. i thought that i would have a drink (baileys!) during my recent labour but forgot all about it at the time.

I never drank when TTC or in my first trimester with any of my pregnancies (apart from a half glass of bubbly on NYE when I was about 8 weeks pregnant with DS1). However in 2nd and 3rd trimester I indulged, no more than 1 unit a night and 2 nights a week. And not every week. But I did enjoy wine and I don't believe a small amount would hurt my babies.

I got blotto with pregnancy #1 and #3 before I knew I was pregnant, both were unplanned. I didn't find out until around week 6-7 with this one so I had a few drinks again before I knew. Ever since, and in this pregnancy only, I have had a little just once. I know they all say that no level is safe as they just don't know, but my midwife said an occasional glass of bubbly is okay (dont like it though lol) and a friend of mine who also got pregnant after a big night out said she was so paranoid that she did loads of research, and found out that particularly in the early weeks when the baby is in it's little 'bubble' and more supporting itself, its not so bad because its more protected being more of a separate entity. The placenta takes over around week 10 so I guess where they are getting this from? But I guess it makes sense and it is VERY common for this to happen.
