Random Wednesday GTKY: First drink post baby

FSUNole31

It has been a trying few weeks so I have been trying to select my first post baby drink.  What's everyone thinking for yours?  Bonus points for pictures

 Now, I'm salivating. 

My first cocktail at a restaurant will be my favorite Mexican place's Paloma. 

At home, I like to make a lower calorie cocktail with Tito's, lime juice, a raspberry lemonade Crystal Light packet, and club soda.

DH doesn't drink and would prefer I don't while breast feeding. Which is fine with me. Im actually surprised that I don't miss it! Plus, i don't want to pump and dump! But my first drink, whenever that is, will be a nice cold draft beer!

Either a rumchata float (shot of Rumchata in rootbeer), Not Your Father's Cream Soda because a bunch of people were drinking it at party Saturday and I wanted one, or a smores martini that has been taunting me on the menu each week at trivia

Typically I would say a glass of Pinto Grigio. However, I've been stuck on having a margarita since I found out I was pregnant.

An expensive glass of Cabernet. Man I miss a good glass of wine!

LMMama

I've put a lot of thought into this. Probably my favorite drink of vodka, sparkling water and lemon.

I'll probably have wine first bc it is easy. But I love frozen drinks like piña coladas!

Please please please don't tell me you let his preference drive your decision though.  I told DH that I don't care what his preference for my food/drink intake is when I'm the one carrying and nursing the baby.  He backed off mighty quick during my first pregnancy.  Haha

I consult with my OB about what is/is not OK and make a decision from there.  I drink a glass of wine (small) once or twice per week while pregnant so I'm not really missing wine, but boy do I miss my martinis!  DH and I always celebrate new baby with a bottle of wine from his collection.  He surprises me when we get home. Last time was a bottle of 1997 Opus One!  Delightful. I'm curious to see what he breaks out this time!

Probably a Guinness, just because it's good for your milk supply. If I'm feeling froggy I might have a pina colada. I had this huge list of things I was going to eat/drink after DD was born and then shortly after I got pregnant I realized I hadn't partaken in most of them

At a restaurant it would be a chocolate martini.



 At home it would be a Michelob Ultra.

I will be having a bottle of this.   It's the champagne we gave to wedding guests as a favor to each couple.  It's soooo good! 

FSUNole31

I am torn between a pink champagne or a nice Rosè I have no idea the brand of Rosè I would pick, but either of these will probably be first on my list.  A close second would be a sangria.  Yum.  

FSUNole31

@Wearmi1 I will have to look for that one!!

No. I just don't really care either way (at this point) so I probably won't. If I really want to though I will.

@FSUNole31 it's delicious... subtly sweet and doesn't disappoint!  

c1tym0m22

Probably a glass of wine since it's the easiest to get my hands on....but if this craving for a margarita doesn't pass soon, I'll be trying to figure out how much of one I can drink and still nurse (I went by the "if you don't feel buzzed, baby can drink your milk" philosophy)

Elyse1384

@alm52386 cool.  I get irrationally stabby when SOs try to force decisions on a woman during pregnancy and/or nursing.

I'm too busy thinking about sushi after baby to think about drinking... Probably beer or wine at home, but the first time I go out or have a chunk of time away from baby it will be a gin gimlet.

meilay

Probably champagne at home. The first cocktail I would have would be a margarita. 

Kylieslip24

I just have to throw out there that I seriously delivered dd at the best hospital ever. They give you a steak dinner and champagne the night you deliver. I don't drink and I still thought this was amazing. Every hospital should do this. I'm so sad we moved away from there, because dh was seriously so happy that night. New baby, meat, and champagne!! Lol 

JessyKV

Mine will probably be a frozen raspberry margarita or another frozen drink.  Summer and frozen drinks go hand in hand for me!

alm52386

@Elyse1384 I get it! And I agree too! There's plenty of other things I eat/drink that he doesn't like but I tell him to get over it. But drinking alcohol is a little different since I don't really care either way and he is extra sensitive about it. So I often respect his opinions when it comes to alcohol. 

Mtnmommy

At home I'll have clementine vodka and sprite. I'd love to have a frozen strawberry margarita. 

ladylolly89

I do occasionally have a beer or small glass of wine during pregnancy, but no hard alcohol. My first drink PP ideally will be rye whiskey (neat) or an old fashioned. 

BellaO21

Peach vodka and lemonade!!! It's my at home drink of choice during the summer.. however, when we go out it will either be a frozen margarita or a strawberry daiquiri

Stankonia2014

I indulge in one cider beer a week, but after baby I will hit the hard stuff, probably a Bloody Mary or Margarita, maybe both. 

awillis13

A margarita is what started this pregnancy.....it's only fitting that a margarita end the pregnancy too.  But I've seriously been jonesing for just about anything.  Italian red wine, Henry's Orange Soda, Not Your Father's Root Beer (I'm not a beer drinker).  But the margarita is probably going to win out.  It will have to be just 1, because 2 from this particular Mexicn place knocks you on your butt pretty good.

meg2704

I will be enjoying a glass of champagne when I get home after baby is born! I'm really looking forward to it! 

Knottie42089123

Hands down, a Michelada. You have not lived if you have not had a Michelada. Slurp. 

kahlan82

@Kylieslip24. I am going to need to know where this hospital is....I am sure it is worth the commute during labor.

Kylieslip24

Santa Cruz, California we actually seriously thought about moving back so we could go there again. It was like a hotel. We are just across county lines so insurance won't let us. 

CurlyMommy416

A super dark delicious beer- Stout, Porter... I don't care. Just give it to me.

lmudra

Frozen strawberry margarita at our favorite Mexican restaurant while eating all the chips and salsa!!!  Can't wait!

ellie111227

I don't like to drink much when i am first breastfeeding and I can't be sure I have a decent window between feedings, so I'll probably just share a dark porter with dh occasionally in the early days our have a small glass of wine. Later on when I am more comfortable with a real drink, I want a nice big margarita. Also anything with Bailey's in it. I'm actually a big fan of Bailey's straight over ice cream.

Wino0920

All the wines!!!! Lol! And whiskey. So I never drink whiskey, but it has smelled so good  ever since I've become pregnant. I can't wait to try one after the baby is out! 

DarkSerendipity

It would have to be either a frozen mojito or frozen lime margarita. Summer equals frozen drinks!

Ahutch428

My favorite wine (which also happens to be very cheap!) 

MotherofDragons

A nice, delicious Guinness. Holy cow, I want it now. 

michaela0704

For real though... my first drink will probably be a Sierra Nevada Torpedo Extra IPA... it's alright - not my favorite style beer, but it is heavy on the hops and seriously helped up my milk production when I stalled last pregnancy.

Drink for me, just for my enjoyment/taste, would be a glass of one of my favorite Pinot noir wines along with some piave cheese... or I would love a legit porter or stout.

Hubby is bringing a bottle of the real deal champagne to the hospital. And sushi. Zomg, I miss it so much!
