Wine tastes like acid to me while pregnant so it isn't a temptation at all (although I still like to sit next to a glass of good red and smell it ). Beer on the other hand does taste good - last time I was pregnant I was in Eastern Europe and they make the BEST alcohol free beer over there so I didn't feel like I was missing out at all. Hmmm maybe a trip to Dan Murphy's is in order to see if they have any
I have had at least 2 glasses of wine a week during my pregnancy. I'm not sure whether it has done any damage yet but I have had lots of friends who have had a few glasses every now and then and their kids seem to be fine.
To be honest, when we were on holidays i had a ****tail and it was sooooo good. I was about 14 weeks. SInce then i have had 1/2 of a full strength beer. Dh was having one and it tasted so nice. It took me about 45 mins to drink and i must admit that afterwards i felt really flushed and tired.
Its a personal choice really, like everything else during pregnancy
With DD1 I refused. At 8 months I had a tiny sip of DH's Rum & coke just to taste it again. That was it.
With DD2 I had 3 or 4 drinks for New Years. Over the day & night, so spread out.
& I had a glass of champers at a christmas party, one with Christmas lunch, & 2 on my 21st.
With DS I went to a wedding at 13 weeks. I had one ****tail with a friend I hadn't seen in months & at the reception I think I had 2 glasses of white with lemonade to water it down.
I also had a half nip of Rum & coke in a middy at work one night as I was really upset after a fight between DH & I. I worked at a pub & was bawling all over the place, so the other barmaid got it for me.
So I had the odd drink. Red is supposed to be beneficial, so I'm naughty coz I had spirits, but all my kids are perfectly healthy. Of course I never had enough to feel anything, but the few I did have didn't hurt.
i didnt have a drink till i was 38/39 weeks .. it was only a week or so ago , i tihnk i was soo fed up with being pg and trying everything to get labour started i demanded dh to go get a bottle of wine , it went down soooo well with the pizzas i made . only had 2 small glasses of red ..
and had a sml glass of white last night when we went out to tea , it helped me relax , but i think ive had enough for now ..
i wouldnt stress about it ... take it easy and have a sip if you feel like it , maybe not in the 1st tri but def in the 3rd to help you losen up is ok by me ...
last night to stop me spilling dh's pint i took a sip before walking back to the table , it took soo much will power not to skull the whole thing as it had been the most refreshing thing ive had all pregnancy ...
every thing in moderation and you and bub will be fine
eta:im pretty sure i had a few drinks before i found out i was pg with ps .. and even though his obsession with matchbox cars is really intense for a 2 yr old , the rest of him is fine
I had some bubbely with dd and with this one also ... to celebrate But that is only half a glass. I'm not a big drinker, so I don't miss it, but like this weekend was my reunion and I was truley drooling for a sip, but DH looked at me funny so I did not have any.
I read in a mag that having a glass of champane in the evening when you are in your third tri is actually good for you Says it helps you relax and helps you to calm down and even helps some women to get some sleep. They say you just pop the back of a teespoon into the neck of the bottle and that preserve the bubbels. I might try that if I get really uncomfy around 34 weeks or so.
But tbh ... I don't see a problem in having half a glass of wine with a nice dinner for a celebration. Try light wine and water it down with some ice or soda water .. and enjoy
