Oh this thread just keeps getting funnier and funnier. I'm going to sit here with my wine glass ( currently filled with sparkling grape juice) and send a cheers out to all the moms who occasionally will indulge in a half glass, full glass, a few sips, whatever you wish, of wine. I would cheers with real wine but I don't have any.

Well have a glass for me. I'm a terrible alcoholic and forgot to stock up for the 2nd trimester!

Drunk because you are drinking through a straw. I wasn't planning on drinking tonight but I'm seriously reconsidering.

haha, not anymore!  I couldn't reach the bottom of the bottle so I poured it out (very fucking slowly) to drink the rest.

I am so incredibly late to this but after a rough day, this is exactly what I needed! There were so many comments and gifs that made me lol and for them, I am grateful!

On a serious note, alabamafucker needs to get a life! Perhaps she was a raging alcoholic turned hardcore Christian but keep your crazy to yourself! Yikes!

I mean, I could go for a margarita right about now.

@melohdy - it's kind of a mix between fruit punch and pink lemonade.

Ladies, someone got that chick pregnant. Now that's the bigger issue.

To those of you worried about drinking while breast feeding...pump and dump! I learned this from Snookie and J-Woww. It's totes legit.

If half a glass of wine got me buzzed, I would have an extra million dollars right now. It takes me at least a bottle.

 

Girl, I miss you.

Lost track of this comment way back somewhere in page 2 or 3 but I want to second the interesting irony in the different tone taken when taking about alcohol vs marijuana while pregnant. I'm open minded and think women should make their own decisions regarding their own bodies and what various risks they're willing to take, based on their own research/doc's opinions. So I'm not sharing my opinion on either subject right now other than the fact that people are asking not to be judged on their choices here in this thread but many others (not sure who or how many ladies overlap on both threads) were very quick to judge the woman for simply inquiring about pot, which has also been used for hundreds of years medicinally/harmlessly in many other cultures over time. Not looking to be attacked on this topic- just pointing out the interesting difference in tone based on the two topics.

Hold the phone! There was a difference in tone discussing one item that is legal and sometimes recommended by doctors vs. another item that is generally illegal and that not one person could cite as being recommended by a doctor?

Shall these wonders never cease?!?!?

Lol from M14.

BTW, I have been on low dose aspirin therapy for the first tri for my toddler son and 2.0 I'm currently cooking.  Ordered by my Dr.  Since the beta test didn't have any extra limbs, and I managed to convince my body to hang on to him, we repeated my first tri meds (estrogen, progesterone, low dose aspirin).

I also had the occasional 1/2 glass of wine in 2nd and 3rd trimesters, and am doing that as well.  It is relaxing and I enjoy it.  Can I go without?  Yup.  I have weighed the risks and elected to indulge occasionally.  Good for you if you choose not to, I don't really care.  But carrying on like we are crazy baby murderers is a bit extreme, no?

Well I want some wine now! I'm really sad that I have missed so much o this convo. It's has been great!!

This thread has been excellent entertainment with my morning coffee (wonder if @alabamapinks thinks that's poison too?). I had the same thought as a PP about her own personal experience with addiction/alcohol abuse because her reactions here and her automatic associations of drinking with ALL THE TERRIBLE THINGS are so distorted and irrational.

Or maybe she's just crazy, who knows.

Lurking from May 2014. I've only made it through page 3, but the thing that jumps out at me right away is the b.s. about aspirin being dangerous. No, you do not want to take regular dose in 3rd tri because it thins your blood...if you have to have an emergency C-section, that could be bad for you. However, LDA (low dose aspiring) or baby aspirin is actually helpful to many pregnant women. It has been studied in over 25,000 subjects. It is found to lessen the effects of pre-e and sometimes prevent IUGR (intra uterine growth restriction)...it is now common medical practice to prescribe it in women who were at high risk for pre-e. It also has beneficial effects for many other subgroups of women like women with clotting disorders...can even save a pregnancy in many cases. In fact, my RE (reproductive endocrinologist) puts EVERY.SINGLE.PATIENT on LDA throughout their first tri because it is safe and there are potentially beneficial effects. Also, to the pp's going crazy about a small amount of alcohol, I think you actually need to read some medical studies on alcohol consumption. The detrimental effects to babies have been found in excessive use. I have read numerous peer-reviewed, large sample-sized medical studies and never seen a single, solitary study showing that half a glass of wine once in awhile was detrimental to a fetus. Not one. If you have one, please post it. And having volunteered as an attorney ad litem for abused and neglected children and worked within the CPS/DFPS system, I can tell you that if you think having a half a glass of wine is abusive, you don't have a CLUE what true abuse or neglect is.

I won't, but I don't really enjoy alcohol that much. DH's family and my family doesn't drink.

Lol, I don't completely understand why you're getting sarcasm, sounds completely logical to me.

Even in the weed post I said that I've actually heard of there being some benefits to using it occasionally and some midwives even recommend it during labour, but just as I wouldn't drink while pregnant, I wouldn't do that (as someone who has never tried it, but likes to research)... but, everyone is different. As long as people are being smart about it, its occasional and their doctor is in the loop, then more power to you.

Its funny, my sister, who is a pretty conservative Christian, never done any drugs and is due in January, was actually talking to me yesterday about all the benefits of weed during pregnancy, and how she would never try It, but how neat she thought it was.

Why would any of you take any chances? 

You don't want to do anything that you may regret doing if your baby (God forbid) is born with a birth defect. 

I never drank a drop of alcohol when pregnant with my son and he was born with a heart defect.  Even though it was probably nothing I did, I keep going over and over in my head looking for something I could have done. I think of the one time I took Tylenol Cold or the many cups of coffee I had in the mornings.... All those things I regret.... so why would you even remotely want to do something you might regret if something bad happens.

You will not die if you don't have alcohol for 9 months.  Get over it.

I love how this has more views than the blog sticky.

Mztwilson

@singinggirl96 please get over it. People will do as they please. Not one of these women plan on binge drinking for weeks on end. If anything it's a half glass here and there. They have obviously been informed of the risks and if that's a chance they are willing to take then they will. My dr said said no amount if alcohol is safe however she said an occasional glass shouldn't hurt. No offense but I'll trust her opinion and if I choose to take a sip here and there your " get over it attitude" will not stop me.

my DD has straight hair and i have curly hair. i just imagine that if i hadn't drank a few glasses of wine she might have curly hair… think of your babies. and their hair.

I can hardly wait for a nice glass of red over the holidays!!!

I feel that pregnancy is a wonderful thing and I am so happy to be pregnant(besides all the sickness and all that). However, if I change who I am just because I'm pregnant then I'm not being true to myself. We love to go to concerts and bars because its something we enjoy. Now that I am pregnant I just don't drink. I'm sure now that I'm in my second tri I will prolly have a glass here and there but I will still abstain from drinking while at a bar. But I'm not going to stop going. When we have a little one that will change obviously but we will still have get togethers and enjoy our parties. Pregnancy does change things but you can't live in a damn bubble!! If you don't want to drink then by all means DON'T!!! But if you do and are well informed ten go for it!!!

I have to laugh at those who are saying "I didn't drink, but this event happened so if you drink you are going to assume it was your fault." I think we have all done enough of our own research to realize these are things that can/will happen regardless of whether we drink a glass of wine or not, and are smart enough to know that one glass of wine or can of beer won't have caused it.

Visiting from May 14! You guys have a true wingnut on your hands! We had the lady who said c-sections weren't births and you guys have...this lady.

And to the above...YUP. I'm smarter than that, thanks. Why don't you folks who ruminate on that aspirin you took once switch over to blaming it on "God's plan" and quit beating yourself up.

It's insanity. 23 pages. We not only had the surgical extraction lady, we had another bish tell a woman who quit smoking as soon as she found out she was pregnant that if she miscarried "she'd know why" or some shit. And that she should have CPS called on her. That lady should thank Extraction for diverting all the attention.

I had a small glass of red at my anniversary dinner and a small glass of red with my hubs during a trip out of town (both special occasions).  We don't keep alcohol in the house for the most part and I can't see anything coming up that I would even be within the vicinity of wine at until New Years.  

My doc told me that a glass here and there wouldn't hurt but to limit it to one every few weeks.

To answer your question: "why would you even remotely want to do something you might regret if something bad happens?" Because if something bad does happen to my LO, I know that it will not be because I drank half of a glass of wine. My DS had IUGR (intra-uterine growth restriction) and I developed pre-e. But I know that it was not because I shared a glass of wine with my DH at some time in the 3rd tri...and I never thought that it was or had any guilt that I somehow did something that caused my preeclampsia. I know based on reading legitimate research that it was probably caused by a crappy placenta that implanted improperly sometime in the first tri...not by something I did or didn't do.
