Drinks?

Anyone have a husband or boyfriend that isn't drinking your whole pregnancy? Ugh I wish my hubby was like that. I'll be DD for New Years Eve. Yay.. Lol

My DH is the drinker in the relationship (strong part of his culture) and it doesn't bother me because i can't say I'm a huge fan of alcohol. It's usually social drinking that I engage in but I'm pretty much just a water person. I've stocked up on the sparkling grape juice for NYE!

Mine is drinking less than usual (partially to be supportive, partially because it's less fun drinking by yourself.) I am the DD so he can have beers at dinner, though. I assume the same will be the case tomorrow night, but at least he doesn't want to go "out out."

DH is still drinking. Fine by me because I can sneak sips here and there.

No, DH totally owes me come June!! I already have a few summer events postpartum that I am looking to having a cocktail or two!!

My husband still drinks. But he says it's not as much fun alone.

Mine isn't, but that's because he just started a weight-loss med & drinking could land him in the hospital with severe dehydration or seizures.

I need DH to drink for my sanity, for some strange reason it makes him less annoying to me during this crazy hormonal time when he is buzzed...BUT there is a limit, I'm not dealing with him being beligerent and acting a fool and I can't go with him out to social places where everyone is drinking, I'll pick him up and drop him off but I can't handle being around drunk people when I am the only one sober, makes me want to punch someone in the throat.

DH isn't really drinking. A drink here or there but he feels bad because I enjoy drinks, too. Neither of us really typically drink to get drunk, though, so even if my DH has one, he still makes sure he's good to drive.

Haha...DH is drinking and definitely liking having a driver! He owes me in June for sure!!!

DH drinks beer once in a while and drinks wine when we have dinner parties. It's no big deal to me.

My husband still drinks but has cut down to a couple a night. We are both pretty big beer enthusiasts (we are from Portland Oregon) so we enjoy really nice beer and often brew our own. I miss it a lot, but I'll steal an occasional sip just to try it. We're still brewing so we have some stocked up for the summer.

DH is quite enjoying the semi-permanent DD situation, but he's drinking less often now since we would previously each have a beer for "dessert" most nights. Now he'll have some occasionally, and he has had is over-the-top moments in the past few months, too... he really likes to throw back the beers in social settings, so that is the only difficult part to deal with. Usually I don't mind because I'm right there with him enjoying the beers with friends, but since I have to sit on the sidelines now (with an occasional sip here and there) it's much less enjoyable for me. I still try to not be a bump on a log and will go hang out with him & friends as much as I can.

DH is taking advantage of having a Designated Driver, but I fully took advantage of the TWW for months "You know, if I'm pregnant this month, I won't get to drink at all..."  I also take advantage when we attend parties for a while after I give birth, "You know, I didn't get to drink for 9 months..."

DH still will have a beer from time to time. I don't mind. The only time I did mind was when he got really drunk at my birthday party - it was at our house, but there was no way I was taking care of him when I wasn't feeling well myself!

My husband agreed to give something up during my pregnancy and drinking was it lol he didn't give it up 100% just mon thru Friday lol the least he could do....

mamahawk12

I wouldn't ask or expect DH to stop drinking just because I can't. He does A LOT for me and the kids, especially now that I'm pregnant. I'm not going to deprive him of a beer or two after a long day or a night out with his buddies. Andplusalso, I'm racking up some DD redemption points for post baby

Mine asks if it is ok each time but I'd feel like a jerk to say no

janat1717

Only when out with others too

DH needs to drink or my dad would be lost during the holidays! My dad and I have always been the drinkers and he's already told me that he can't wait until July so he can have some wine with me. Meanwhile, he is very excited for the reason I'm not drinking. Goodness wine didn't smell this good when I wasn't pregnant!

dkleid

I would never ask DH to stop drinking because I cant. He has a high stress job there are days where I great him some days with a beer. I don't miss alochol at all he's drinking a new beer I'll take a smell of it if he says it's good. But that is about it. We have one of my best friends weddings in June (3 weeks after I'm due) if I am not able to breast feed he will be my dd for the night, and on baby duty for the night. And if I am.able to then once I stop breast feeding he is my dd for a night if pure stupidity!

mollymargaret1

Mine isn't - he does for like holidays or if we go to dinner but for the most part he isn't since I'm not. 

ewright147

Mine still does...behind my back.. it's great. :-/

ksimo6

My DH still drinks. The smell of alcohol makes me absolutely Ill with this pregnancy... So he's cut back... Mostly because he wants to sleep next to his wife not in the spare bedroom!!

frankengibbs

DH still drinks but much less than he did before I got pregnant. Honestly, I don't see the point of him not enjoying a beer or two every now and then, he works hard and he deserves to have a drink if he wants one.

dirtymartini

Mine is drinking enough for both of us.

paintdadanta

DH rarely drank before this pregnancy, now he doesn't at all. He chalks it up to drinking too much in the military so it's just not fun anymore.

starrysmile18

I maybe had a glass of wine 1/mo unless we went out for dinner or something. Besides that, DH doesn't care for alcohol so he doesn't drink anyway. It's not that big of a deal for us! But boy, I would LOVE a glass of sparkling champagne tonight, lemme tell ya!

babybean9

A friend of ours is two weeks ahead of me and is forcing her husband to quit drinking for her pregnancy. I thought it was kind of weird, didn't realize it was so common. My husband has a few beers a night still. I miss beer and red wine, but I wasn't a crazy drinker pre-pregnancy.

I don't like when others drive so always choose to be DD anyway, so there's no change there.

utopiaqueen

I couldn't ask my DH to stop drinking because I figure at least one of us should be enjoying good beer and wine! He is drinking for both of us now. I enjoy buying him fun beers and smelling them as he drinks them! I just sip on some Fre wine or champagne in a fancy glass, and it has done the trick.

I kinda wanted to have a small glass of champagne tonight to celebrate the new year, but it also kinda weirds me out to drink more than a sip, if that.

It hasn't been too tricky at parties as long as I have something fun to drink, too! Tonight, I am making non-alcoholic seabreezes!

Life&Gwen

I haven't asked my DH not to drink if we're out with family or friends... But I maintain the firm "time to go" decision. I liked drinking too, and I know that threshold where you're either tired, or you have 1 more and sit and talk with your friends for another 2 hrs or more... Now we leave the first time I get tired, so it's a good compromise.

Neither one of us were big drinkers before the BFP, so there wasn't much of an adjustment there. However, I wouldn't begrudge him a drink if he wanted one.
