I was curious since most of us are in our third trimester. Have any of you had or have had a glass of wine lately? I've heard one glass is okay I do not know how far apart these glasses must be but it's not like I'm going to go on a drinking binge. I'd just like to relax like before with a nice glass of wine at the end of the day. A cold glass of moscato with some chopped up strawberries would be the best rite meow!

I've also read about how it can be a helpful mental stimulation for the little one. Hence why I was curious. I suppose ill ask my doctor in this coming Fridays visit. I'm a totally healthy mommy to be no high blood pressure, passed all my glucose test. Everything is good in my health department. So will see what she says.
This time around I've been on antibiotics nearly my entire pregnancy for sinus and gum infections, so I've had very little... But as I understand it, even up to 3 or 4 glasses of wine a month is fine during pregnancy!
To me though, it just seems selfish, there is no reason to drink. And this is coming from someone who was a regular drinker.
2 years, 2 surgeries, 2 clomid fails, 2 IUIs, 1 loss, IVF #1 - 10/25/10 = BFP!, DS is now 3.5yrs!
TTC #2 - 6/12 surgery #3, FET #1 & 1.2 = BFN, 12/2012 FET #2 = BFP! DD is 1.5 yrs!
Surprise! 12/16/14 BFP, loss #2 12/31/14
I can't wait for the "im getting a divorce" post in 5 years or so because your husbands were fed up with your disgusting chair asses from playing on the knot all day and getting fired 4-5 times for not doing any work. you guys are all winners!! ~ Laur929
BFP #1 8/25/12 EDD 4/28/13 Blighted Ovum, D&C 9/20/12 at 8w6d. I'll always remember the first one. My baby Grace. BFP #2 12/26/12 EDD 9/4/13. DS born 9/7/13. My sweet rainbow.
Just can't do it until I am at my due date or close to it. I had a glass once in a while when I was overdue with DS1.
I just take sips of DH's whenever he has some.
Am I the only one bothered by the implication that if you'd gotten knocked up on a whim you'd be totally cool risking FAS, but because you paid and worked for this baby you won't risk it?
Everyone has their own opinion on alcohol during pregnancy, but to acknowledge the risk and then twice say you would risk it if you got pregnant easily seems bizarre to me.
I have not, although I hear it is fine. I got incredibly drunk when I was told I was miscarrying at 5 weeks (I wasn't) so I have some leftover guilt over that even though it was really early and most people wouldn't even know they were pregnant.
We also don't have any wine right now and I hate to buy a bottle for just one glass.
I would also advise pp's to cautiously interpret any literature re: so called benefits of alcohol on child development. The fact is there are ZERO randomized controlled trials on drinking in pregnancy and child development. And there will never be any due to ethical reasons regarding the potential iatrogenic effects of giving a research participant alcohol. In the absence of an RCT, you only have correlation, not causation, when it comes to any so called benefits of in utero alcohol on later functioning.
I have also heard it is safe to have an occasional glass of wine or a beer but I would not feel comfortable doing it. I have also already come this far - I can stick it out for the remainder of the pregnancy and have alcohol after the baby comes.I only have like 8 more weeks to go. I have my days where a beer would be awesome to wind down with, but I do not need it to get by. I just have an ice cream instead lol.
I knew a girl who drank while pregnant and her son had serious mental and physical defects. Now granted she did other stuff as well. I just would not feel right about risking anything at all.
I'm glad this was mentioned. Thanks, Cleo!
I have read a lot of reports on both sides of the issue, and earlier in my pregnancy I had felt like it would be SO LONG until I could have a drink with my DH on a warm evening, but it really hasn't been an issue. I have had a couple sips (literally, 2 that I can recall) of DH's beer if he finds a new craft brew he likes, but other than that, I haven't felt the need. I've enjoyed a glass or two of Fre wine (dealcoholized wine) and half a bottle of O'Doul's a couple times, but otherwise, have stuck to water and other beverages that won't make my reflux any worse than it is.
It's a tough subject to tackle which is clear when you talk to 5 different OBs and receive 5 different opinions about it. I personally have an OB who is a self-proclaimed purist in those respects, which makes me feel very comfortable with her other advice regarding what is safe and not safe during pregnancy. I also have friends whose OB has said a glass in the evening with food in the third trimester is fine.
My husband wouldn't be ok with me drinking anyway.
