Anyone planning to have a glass of wine once they get into 2nd trimester?

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.

Note that this thread was never, "What do you think about drinking during pregnancy: give your opinions and debate it!" Nope. It was explicitly a discussion about/for those who are planning to have A DRINK. OR TWO. In pregnancy. And, in my case, with medical consent. So move along. Or start a sanctimonious panic thread to attract like minded others.

I actually just had to mention to a coworker, who nominated me as a DD because "you obviously can't drink", that I can indeed drink, I just can't get drunk, and I would appreciate being asked to be DD instead of having it assumed.  The look he gave me!  Made me think of this thread.  Also, I bought a box of wine over the weekend because it seals better than a bottle, so it will last longer when I'm only having a half glass at a time.  I then took it home, popped it open, and had a half glass with both lunch and dinner!  In the same day!  If something awful should happen to this child, I will obviously be suing the boxed wine maker.  It's like when people sue McDonald's because they are fat.

Definitely.

I posted...

And realized afterwards the discussion descended into madness. My secretary and I have now wasted 45 minutes at work laughing and trying to figure out how we can incorporate the word "twat-waffle" into daily conversation.  

FYI: My secretary has a perfectly healthy, intelligent, 8 year old son and had an occasional glass of wine while pregnant. She swears we will all be fine.

I HAAAAAAATE people assuming I'm DD. That happened to me and I was pissed.

Seriously!  I hate driving people around, especially when they are drunk.  Just because I'm pregnant, doesn't mean I automatically want to run a fucking taxi company.  The ONLY person I will drive for if they want to drink is H, and he never gets 'drunk' anyways.

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.

Yay! I was wondering how to kill the last hour and a half of work today!

Holy shit I would have gone apeshit. I was actively preventing a pregnancy and was a smoker, but quit when I found out, and was still anxious I had done damage. Had I read that from someone, I would've torn her a new one.

Just wanted to add that I had planned on not drinking during this pregnancy, but I had my NT scan and talked with my dr about a very occasional small glass of red wine and she approved me. I worked for vineyards last summer and my mom and I frequented vineyards on the weekends, so as someone that enjoys the taste of red wine, I've missed it. It's nice to know that I can safely have a taste during the holidays.

Also, all you fellow crazies I'm happy to associate with you. Cheers!

You poor thing.  Was your mom even able to get a birth certificate for you?  Are you a real person?  You know...since you weren't really born?

holy crap that's ignorant: LET ME GOOGLE THAT FOR YOU

As I said, there was a marijuana thread a few weeks ago, LITERALLY the same story, not enough evidence, etc etc, but no one says "yeah lets blaze up some drugs while preggo!". Not a single person.

Here we have a somewhat similar situation, with one KEY difference, while still not that many studies exist, it is known beyond a shadow of a doubt that alcohol causes FAS, as well as many other KNOWN problems.

Two situations, both unknown, one can be proven to cause problems, one cannot. But since Alcohol is SO engrained into today's society, MOTHERS are willing to put the lives of their children on the line just to get A BUZZ???

Let me say that again: the only positive thing you are getting from the drug known as alcohol, IS A HIGH. A recreational HIGH. How on Earth can that EVER be worth risking your BABY?!?!

Yes, and we know that having a single drink once in a while is not the same as alcoholism.  Please do some research on FAS before you freak the fuck out.  If you're getting buzzed, you're probably drinking too much.  No one here is drinking to get buzzed/drunk.  That's fucking dumb. 

We know that aspirin is terrible for unborn babies as well.  Are you going to tell me that no one should be taking low dose aspirin while pregnant?  You're making no sense.

Hey @EllyD14! I totally read this as UNICORN babies. You seemed so matter of fact.

Sadly, while I did get a birth certificate, I was born without a soul. It only attaches through vaginal birth; thus, my soul has been trapped in her uterus, degraded and weeping, my whole life.

Eek. Presumptuous and terrible skills. What if a patient was struggling with alcohol. She would def close the door on someone asking for help.

And it keeps people from being honest and getting real info from their dr

What a douche canoe.

Do they do soul D&Cs? Does insurance cover that?

jsnyder79

Hilarious read ladies. Thought it would be a good time to mention that when I called my doctor's office yesterday bc I was extremely nauseous (turned out to be stomach flu), they recommended a glass of red wine to calm and relax me. Cheers! (Oh and they are one of the best OB practices in the DC/MD area)

Just want to throw this out there.  My husband works for CPS as a case manager, and they have a lot more pressing issues going on than a pregnant woman drinking a half a glass of wine.  To me it's even more ignorant and self-important to think that another person's choice to make a different choice than you would make is equivalent to the abuse and neglect that requires CPS involvement.

I feel relaxed even after a sip of wine. Maybe only a trace of that makes it to my baby, who has no built tolerance, is a tiny fraction of my size, and relies on me for nutrients and safety inutero. I'm among the rare crowd here who sees no benefit to it and will hold off. There are studies that show that even after little consumption, the fetal movements slow down. I'm not judging anyone but I'm listening to that doctor who conservatively says it isn't worth it, even if that doctor isn't my doctor.

Good morning ladies,

Your resident crazy @alabamapinks came over & called me a "fucking bitch" because I mentioned her in our drinking thread. Then she begged everybody to stop mentioning her because the notifications were driving her crazy and she just wanted to have a "normal morning." But now it looks like she's taken that Superman cape to go save some other hoes because she is gone. Buh-bye!

@EllyD14 She posted on the "the daddy" thread here this morning. She's not too far away. ETA: I just checked and didn't see her comment! Maybe it was another post? But I know I saw her today.

I think she definitely had her account deleted.  After you posted I started searching and couldn't find her.  So I just tried to find her to send her a pm because if you start typing a username it will bring up a list and alabamapinks is no longer in there.

I'm not sure if she deleted or got banned.  I flagged her post in the '2nd Trimester' thread where she called us all a bunch of bitches (direct name calling and all), but this was in the same post where she said she was going to leave the boards, so who knows.  Don't really care either, while it's entertaining for a while, I don't know if I could handle another 6 months of her Judgy McJudgerson posting...

Uhh yeah. I worked in CPS for a while and I would have loved a report that involved a couple of sips of wine during pregnancy. Unfortunately I got more babies born high calls, so I have to shake my head at all of that nonsense. CPS isn't meant for bitches that are judgy about parenting styles....so there's that...

No loss though. The fewer the crazies, the more enjoyable the board. And maybe she actually learned something about not shooting off her mouth like an asshole if she's not ready to deal with the pushback.

If drinking one glass of wine ON OCCASION is wrong, lock me up and throw away the key.
I feel bad for all the moms on here who are being honest and getting so bashed. Geez. Drink on ladies.
