so who has a glass of wine every now and then? i am just feeling like a glass of red at the moment, have had beer cravings too. its not like i am gonna get plastered but what about a glass a week or something?
Hey hun, with Isabelle I had half a glass of wine a few times with my dinner throughout the pregnancy. It was from around 28 weeks though, but that's just me. I was pretty careful with everything up until at least 20 weeks and then relaxed a little. It is up to you but there is still no research to show if bubs are affected by alcohol so most say avoid it at all costs. If I was you I would hold out for a few more weeks babe. Bubby is still going through the most important developmental stages right now so I would be inclined to wait. JMO.
ETA- I have good friends who are Italian and they would tell me how every pregnant woman in Italy would have a watered down red with her meal throughout the pregnancy because it was good for bubs development. Interesting cultural differences!
I dont drink at all during pregnancy, though just recently I have been wanting to!
Research has shown that fetal alcohol syndrome has no rules as to how much alcohol is needed to affect a baby in the womb. Some woman can drink like fish and no damage is done, others can drink very small amount and damage is caused.
Best to avoid booze, even a glass for the next months, since you just cant tell if your baby is at risk or not. Add it to the list of heaps of things we have to do without!!
mmm yeah I was a big drinker before becoming pregnant, but now I just wont. Id love a glass, but what is the point of just one glass lol. It's only 9 months, and as a PP said, no one knows for sure what the risks are....
But I do know alot of people who drink while preg..
No, no alcohol for me. But good a good friend did have occasional glasses of wine mixed with juice, and her kids are fine. For me it's just not worth the risk, seeing as I don't really *need* to have it. It's a choice every woman has to make for herself.
I've never been a big drinker and never a beer drinker and it's all I can think about! Dh had a beer last night and it was the first thing that has smelt good in ages!!! Won't go there but gosh it smells so good!!!
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
