    My hen's night was about a week before I found out I was pregnant with Ianto, and I got fall-down-throw-up-pass-out drunk I think one of the first threads I started here was asking if that would harm the baby... Thankfully, everyone said it was probably before implantation anyway

    When I was about twelve weeks with Amelia, I had a tiny sip of the free champagne sent to our hotel room for our anniversary. That's it.

    I'm not a drinker anyway, so both instances were about all I would have had to drink anyway, pregnant or otherwise.

    I'm not much of a drinker anymore (I got a LOT of that out of my system in my 20s). I also had to use IVF to fall pregnant. For me it just hasn't been worth the risk to have even one drink, not that I have really felt like it at all. I feel for you girls that have suffered from cravings for booze during pregnancy! That must be hard!

    Yes is the answer to your question LMS. Only I can judge myself and im not bothered what others think of me. Never more than one a week with DD, and stuff all after 19 weeks with DS (complicated and high risk pregnancy).

    sorry if I was a bit harsh in my post yesterday, I blame PMT. Next time I feel like that I promise to step away from the keyboard and count to ten instead of posting

    I didn't drink throughout my pg, I am not much of a drinker anyway do it didn't phase me. Only had one drink while BFing and that was Xmas eve last year as IL opened a really expensive french champagne and poured me a glass and I felt really guilty to waste it do had about half a glass. It was also the first time if had French champagne !

    I had quite a few 2 days before I found out I was pregnant (surprise) and I had 1 glass of wine at a family do the whole pregnancy and even then I felt bad.

    Since developing and recovering from panic disorder I don't drink. I'll have one very occasionally even at my wedding I had only a single sip of wine. So next time I won't. I'm another who is working so hard to fall pregnant that I feel guilty about my every day meds let alone something I can control.

    Actually the interesting thing in the article that was posted is that no FAS was found in any babies where the mother drank less than 8.5 standard drinks a week and that FAS was only found in the babies of alcoholics - plus babies born to mothers who drank moderately performed better than those who didn't on cognitive and behavioural measures later in life. Maybe that Guinness did do some good and the cravings were there for a reason
