Did your SO quit drinking too?

I told my husband he was drinking for two now.

By the time I got pregnant I had given up my hard drinking ways, so it is not a big deal for H to continue to drink, doesn't make me jealous.

erbear84

My H has been talking a big game about quitting but he definitely hasn't. He's cut back, though. I keep telling him it's okay! I love fall/winter beers so one of us should enjoy them!

My boyfriend maybe has a beer every couple of weeks. Never really drank much anyway.

Mama-Bear

Nope, I'm just DD now.  

effthisnoise

My husband has cut back, but he was cutting back anyway due to his cancer. There are studies that indicate that cutting back on alcohol can increase his liver's resistance to the cancer metastasizing there. If it wasn't for that, he'd probably be drinking normally. As of now, we've been hitting Trader Joe's sparkling pomegranate and cranberry juices pretty hard.

Husband and I are both recovering alcoholics so no booze in our house. It makes it very easy to hide the fact that I'm pregnant since no body ever offers me a drink or questions why I turn one down lol

We don't really drink! Never liked it.

Dh (or me for that matter) doesn't really drink that much. He tries not too drink a ton of wine around me usually since that's my drink of choice, but he'll have a beer since I don't like it. Although with how sick I am nothing is tempting so I don't mind at all if he drinks in front of me.

lnzu

He seems a lot less interested in drinking but I'm not encouraging or discouraging him. Things seem to be working themselves out.

spidermonkeymomma

I'm pretty sure this thought never entered his head either pregnancy. He's just excited to have a 100% guaranteed DD. 

HawaiianSunset09

If I have to go through all this lol then he can give up the booze. He only really drinks socially though... so its not a huge deal around our house. 

Ladymouse

I got DH whiskey and a BFP for his birthday.  He's still drinking. 

kimmarie1105

No. I see no reason for it. Plus, after I have the baby he is DD for every function for quite some time because I was DD for 9 months straight

We were never big on alcohol so it's no problem for us. Although sometimes his food choices makes me want to hurl. But as long as I don't have to cook it I don't care if he eats it.

Emilywooddesign

I don't drink anyway ( I just don't like the way it makes me feel) I don't care if my husband drinks though, he works in Pro sports so there is a lot of schmoozing but he is pretty tame.

Ugh, agreed with the food thing! My husband heated up some chicken with mae ploy sauce about a week ago, and I could not handle it, it smelled TERRIBLE!

ksimo6

He hasn't quit drinking, but he has stopped getting laid after he's been drinking... The smell of alcohol is making me extremely nauseous these days. Poor guy.

He had my favorite pizza the other night and I was so excited when he put it in the oven. Not so excited when it came out. I felt like I couldn't get.away from the smell. I ABSOLUTELY love pizza too.

I wholeheartedly believe in cashing in my chips once this is all said and done. There will be some serious moms night action in about a year so I'll gladly play DD for now

mrscampos4life

He drinks a beer once in a while, nothing major. But at a social event, family dinners he has wine. But he never drinks to get hammered

jduggs

He hasn't, with football season and hockey season in full swing it'd be cruel and unusual punishment for him. (It would be for me too, but with the lingering nausea and hatred of most smells and food, I'm not missing it too much).
Besides, if we both gave up the booze, our friends would definitely know something was up!

shibby00

Lol no. I love me some booze, but right now it sounds disgusting so I'm not missing it. But around months 7,8,9 I know I'll be dying for a drink.

beckynsean11

Mine has, but it's unrelated to me being pregnant. He's starting a weight loss med & has to keep his beverages to a minimum. The med can make him really sick if not. I'm his drinking buddy anyway, so it's not a lot of fun for him to drink without me.

Stormy61

I think he feels bad drinking alone or in front of me so he has cut back. I am bummed about missing out on the winter beers - I love them!

miluc3742

No way.  He loves his miller lite waay too much.  

courtyowl427

1. I would never make him suffer through my crazy mood swings without allowing him to have a beer or two. That would be just too cruel.

2. Due to the fact we have not told anyone yet, he is probably drinking more now as he had to cover me this weekend and drink my drink brough by the hostess at a little get together. I tried to not allow the hostess to make my drinks, but she's a damn good bartender and kept topping me off!

Ss: SO quit b4 I got pg for personal reasons, so we're sober together for this

delujm0

My husband doesn't drink much...just a beer or two with dinner most nights...so I wouldn't ask or expect him to quit.

He did get drunk at a tailgate/college football game this weekend that I had to drive home from...I wasn't super thrilled but that would have happened whether I was pregnant or not.

housewifebecomesher

SS, we are big wine lovers and have quite a collection. So, he is allowed to drink whatever, except the good stuff from our wine rack.

eeyorefan215

I told DH he better like the case of wine I just bought because it's all his now.

klkonwi

Mine hasn't drank in front of me yay so far!!!!

SS: My dh and I never drink so it wasn't a problem for either of us to quit drinking.

DH has a DD for the better part of a year.  Use it or lose it. 

Bednarova

We are wine club members at two different California wineries.  We'll get about 18 bottles of wine between now and when this baby is born- 3 per quarter from each, and we just got Q3 from both right before my BFP.  We do not have room for 18 bottles of wine!  

That said, he doesn't drink much.  He has no time.  He's just now on his way home from work - another 15h day, and he'll still have work to do after he gets home.  

ahershe

DH offered to give it up knowing how much I enjoy beer once a week or so but the way I see it is that he's got a DD for the next 9 months so he better take advantage. We don't drink that much but we live in Colorado, home of hundreds of awesome local breweries and brew pubs therefore, going out for a beer once a week or every other week is a pretty common social function for us. Well... Now just for him. I'll just have a water... Thanks.

KonaCoffeeBean

I wish he would stop drinking. Everytime he opens a bottle of wine I picked out I want to cry.

Halalbaby

The DH has been exactly that, a darling who's been eating healthy with me. Being sober with me and being a lazy bloated fatso with me. It's great lol

wynnemac

My husband isn't a big drinker, and I am a bad influence on him so he's drinking less only because I'm not ordering a beer first, or going for a glass if wine in the evening. We have Friendsgiving on Saturday though and I told him he had better take full advantage if having me as DD.
