I'm having a glass of wine. It's glorious. I'll be asleep by 8. This is the only thing I've had besides a glass of champagne at a wedding 3 weeks ago. What are you guys doing as far as vino? Am I terrible.

BrainCellSup

I had a few glasses (total) first trimester and about two so far this trimester. I do not think you are terrible. It is indeed a glorious thing after a long hiatus!

CandEChicago

My friends think I am odd since I just ask if i can smell their wine/beer.  

leoandethansmom

I am totally on board with the vino. That's all I drink even when I'm not pregnant. I've had probably 6 glasses total this whole pregnancy and NO, not all in one night. They'll probably become a little bit more frequent in the 3rd trimester just like they did with DS.

haloform

Every so often I will have half a beer or a half glass of wine. My midwives gave me the all-clear to do that and it's been enjoyable every once in a while.

agsgrrl

I had a glass of wine on the 4th and it was glorious. Certainly a few stolen sips of beer. DF ordered my favorite Lagunitas beer when we went to Cinetopia this weekend so a sample had to be had

Cryssteen

GSM, I'm somehow not surprised you're on this team. CandE, I'm actually surprised you're only sniffing.

I only had a half glass of red wine to celebrate a transfer i was granted at work. I plan to have another at Thanksgiving but that's all. I had one glass total when I was pregnant with DS. However, i am totally enjoying a wine glass full to the brim with Welsh's Grape Juice as we speak lol . Total rule breaking bad ass, I know .

Mmmm grape juice =P~

So far just swigs here or there. Most of my old faves taste sour still! It's on in December. I've also been stashing seasonal cocktail or wines that look good. I totally plan on celebrating summer during Christmas!

I will probably indulge in some champagne at a wedding later this month but I don't super miss alcohol. Most of the time it hits my nose wrong and makes me nauseous which that makes me sad lol

I can smell the alcohol from several feet away when DH has wine or beer, not at all appealing. I have no desire to take a sip.

leoandethansmom

@ashtonkitty1 don't give in to the peer pressure!! Totally kidding, indulge! Enjoy a glass of wine. If my heartburn wasn't so bad lately I'd have one tonight myself.

I haven't had wine yet... Only because I love alcohal way too much to have one glass. I do however indulge in raw sushi and lunch meat multiple times a week.

mrsrroberson

@CandEChicago‌ I did the same thing with my sisters margarita last week! Since I'm on BP meds I don't think I can (

Man, I miss my vino!

JRod13

Nope, but I'm not a drinker- more power to you folks that do (within reason of course).

JulieSC81

Whoa on the "R" word. That will offend many women here, including me. Im not flaming you but maybe edit your language....

I do this not pregnant. I always smell my husbands beer. I like the smell but not the taste.

I always thought I would be the one to have my weekly glass of wine during pregnancy, but I haven't! It really doesn't even sound appealing to me right now, but I've been super craving a beer (a tall Blue Moon in particular). I've tried to reassure DH that a half glass of beer is OK, but he isn't having it. He'll give me a small sip here and there but that's it. I feel like if I have a drink I'm cheating on him because I know he disapproves lol

I've been drink sniffing too.

I haven't yet indulged. My drink if choice is a Guinness. I may wait until 3rd tri. And I've heard tales that Guinness is good for milk production. Sounds good to me!

A Guinness or stout is good when breast feeding.

Good, I like me some stout. My MW asked what I've been doing to still be losing weight at 17 weeks. "Uh, I stopped drinking stout after work"
Edit. Words

Oh I'm a major drink sniffer. Beer and Jack Daniels are my two favorite smells. When DH and I went out to dinner while on vaca I got him pretty tipsy because I kept making him order mor JD for me to smell.

Normally I'm a wine drinker. I had a glass of champagne at a wedding a few weeks ago (although I milked it over the entire course of the night). I have had maybe three half glasses of wine and a bit of beer. I would more often because having read the research I'm comfortable with it, but I get judgy face from DH, which annoys me.

I hate judgy face! I got it for the wine I've had, coffee, and the Brie I once had in front of DH. Yikes.

@JulieSC81 congrats on the transfer, I remember you mentioning that a while back!

mightymango

I love sniffing a good beer.

JulieSC81

@mightymango‌ ...Thank you so much . I knew I got it a while ago when I celebrated with my teeny tiny wine glass \:D/ but I actually started the new position a week ago.

sarahlynne30

Had two glasses of white wine at a wedding last week along with a glass of champagne...it tasted magical lol

Crystal7perry

I had a half glass of champagne on my birthday in the first trimester (a swanky restaurant gave it to us for free- I wasn't passing that up and I'm glad I didn't, it was the most delicious bubbly I've ever had) and yesterday I went to a bachelorette that consisted of 3 winery tours and I probably sipped enough wine to amount to a glass. Oops!

agsgrrl

Yeah I'm havin a glass this evening I think. Sober guest this weekend or I would wait.

chicorojo

I've had two half glasses so far, and they are heavenly. I might need to have another glass tonight. I really want Corona with lime though.

soulcupcake

I like wine, and have no problem with the occasional drink during pregnancy. I just haven't had a craving for it yet, but I am open to having a champagne birth this time. That was sort of the plan last time, but I forgot to pick up the champagne.

allonsyalonso

I had a glass of champagne at a wedding and about a quarter of a glass of wine a couple weeks ago. I feel comfortable with having more, but the taste isn't working for me these days.

CandEChicago

Glad I am not the only wine/beer sniffer out there.    

BrideLinds

I've had a half glass of champagne and 2 half glasses of wine over these 23 weeks. I seriously can't wait for when LO is a couple weeks old and I have an idea of when I can have an actual drink or 2 between feedings. It's going to be glorious!

Cheekers2010

I want a vodka tonic so bad. Delicious drink of happy happiness.

LinziLoo09

I've never been much of a drinker, and for some reason I prefer drinking wine more during the winter during the summer. So far my only drink was a pina colada at the beach last month. I got the shot of rum on the side and poured in just half of what they'd normally give in a drink. With my alcohol drought from the past few months, it didn't take much to make me happy

taylojade57

I'm a smeller. Food, drinks, anything!

I haven't had anything to drink since I found out I'm preggo, mainly because I only like shots (not a ridiculous party girl, I can count on one hand how many times I've had a drink in my life).

So I think I'm gonna stick with my drink sniffing until New Years!

Kayro83

I'm in LOVE with the smell of beer!! I had a little a few weeks ago since it smelled so good but I actually wasn't crazy about the taste so I've been sticking w/smelling my friends beers for now lol. I know I'll drink a glass of wine/beer soon but so far I have only had a few sips.

ThePregosaurus

I just got back from vacation and one of our excursions included a wine tasting in France (booked months ago).. I felt a little guilty with everybody there knowing I was pregnant and sipping on wine but it was fun and I didn't have a lot! Unfortunately, the cheeses to try with our wines were all diff types of soft, unpasteurized cheeses (that looked delicious) so I had to suffer a little bit.

hollieandaaron2012

No drinking for me so instead I cook with it! Wine and beef go so well together!

RayRay007

I need to start drinking more. These babies are giving me way too many contractions for my liking and I think a bath and a glass of wine would settle it down a little.
