question- does your husband still drink?

NewMrs07

I don't see why it's annoying unless he drinks like a fish. It's you that's pg, not him. You bet I would have a beer if I could, but since I can't, DH can have one for me. That said, he doesn't drink much anyway and not anymore since I'm pg, but it's not b/c I asked him not too, I guess he just doesn't feel like it and is being sweet. If your DH is going out too much and getting drunk a lot, then you need to tell him that bothers you. But an occasional beer at home is not a big deal, IMO.

he had a couple the other night and it did not bother me.  I think it is going to bother me more when he eats nice ham sandwich lol

HEY! My name is Mary, DH is Jason and I'm due is september too!! thats too weird lol  

WOW that is funny!! Would be really weird if we got married in the same month or lived in the same state. 

Yeah that would be twilight zone weird

No! He quit when we got the BFP! I don't know what we're going to do with all the liquor for 9 months! Not that it goes bad, it just takes up space! I kinda urge him to sometimes because I know he is stressed out about having the baby! He refuses.

L2theC42

he does & it doesn't bother me (now) in the least.  why should be both not?  I embrace being his DD!!  trust me - I'll get some return for it!

Yes he still drinks. I really could care less if he does or not. I am not that big of a drinker so why should it bother me. Plus I would rather be the one who can conceive and carry children. So I will give up an occassional margarita until after baby's arrival.

Smandrea

We were never big drinkers. But yes he still drinks. We keep beer and wine in the house. It's really not a big deal. Maybe if he was getting trashed every weekend or something I might care, but a couple drinks, who cares?

Yep no reason for both of us to not drink...

Ditto

DH still drinks.  It only bothered me this past weekend when I was DD and soooooooo tired and I wanted to go home.  It wasn't the drinking that bothered me, it was the lack of sleep

lynsef

well he hasn't in the short time that I've been pg, but I'm sure he will and that's completely fine with me.  Why shouldn't, especially since if we hang out with friends together he has a built in DD.  Although this weekend is my best friends bday and he will get to drink while I come up with some excuse why I'm not (cause I'm not ready to tell anyone yet).

Lopo

It's just every once and awhile.  It doesn't bother me. 

DMBMamma

I will admit, the first week I wasn't able to have a beer, I missed it a lot, and was jealous of my husband. But now I am so over it. And I don't mind if he has a few. He doesn't get out of hand when he drinks, so I can deal with it.

BlairWaldorf

Of course he does.

HeyyRed

Why on earth would he stop? If that's annoying you - you're going to have much bigger problems um your obsession with alcohol being one for starters...

~BeesBoo~

Yes he does still drink.  The only time that it bothered me is the one time that he got pretty sloppy, otherwise he has a DD.  I do not see a valid reason for him to quite while I am pg.  MMMmmm... I would SO love to have a vodka and red bull.

Can I ask why he quit drinking?

GTBrideKC

Oh course he still drinks, and I'm perfectly fine with it.  I miss my glass of wine, of course, but I'm so happy to give it up for my baby.  He's not going to have the pleasure of feeling the baby's first flutters and kicks, why would I want to deny him life's other little pleasures?  He's not out of control with it.  If yours is, that's a whole different issue you should get resolved. 

brianjessi

Yeah I don't mind though.  He's not a big drinker anyway, but when we go out for dinner he'll have a beer.  I don't even mind driving because guess who gets a designated driver for 9 months after August?  Me!  lol.  I think I might be too busy for that though!

staycee

DH was on alcohol restriction for 13 long months that we were with the RE.    I actually encourage a beer with dinner on the weekends now.

Webbie3

Not very often, but I don't have a problem with it.  In fact, in order to hide my NOT drinking, I plan to hold a beer and then trade my bottle for his empty bottle when he's finished with his.  We'll see if it works...

chyscottbaby

Yes, he still drinks. I would never ask or want him not to. I do occasionally like to have a really good sniff of his wine though. That somehow satisfies me if I crave it.

jenerally

your pregnology ticker is annoying.

Link41208

Yes he will continue to drink while I am pregnant.

MrsNnr

My DH and I aren't/weren't drinkers so we have no issues.

tomandcourt

My DH promised not to drink around me (only out with friends or something) and so far has been pretty good about it. We did have friends over for the weekend and they were drinking, but we hadn't told them yet so he had some wine and has been finishing off the bottles a glass at a time this week.

I don't care right now. Maybe in a few months when I'm really wanting a drink it will - but I have a feeling he'll be drinking even less then. I think it's a point of pride for him.

GypsyEsq

Yes. I'm not sure why he wouldn't. Plus, if he stopped I couldn't have the occasional sip of his delicious beer when he does get one.

lnallis

He still drinks.  I would be annoyed if he stopped drinking just because I can't drink.   

Happily ever after!!

He drinks occasionally, it doesn't bother me. He doesn't go out though. That's a big NO NO! We both believe that is something that becomes hazardous in a marriage.

stever

Yes, FI still drinks. Why should he stop because I have to abstain? And why do you find it annoying that your DH does?

MizMac

Mrs.BlueEyes:

Yes, he still drinks, but it doesn't bother me at all.? It would probably irritate me if he got completely sh*tfaced drunk, though.? But, that irritated me before pregnancy, so it really wouldn't be that different.

?LOL Ditto?

Jill+Dave

He does maybe 1 or 2 times a month but won't be any longer once the baby is born.  I don't drink & don't want anyone drinking around our children.

Mrs.DeliaMarieP

Yes, and I don't mind.  He's not a heavy drinker, usually a glass or two with dinner here and there, an occasional after-dinner drink, that sort of thing. 

mrsbhk22

Yep.  I told him to drink up now while he has a DD b/c after this baby comes, I am going to need a few drinks (thank God for the pump-n-dump)

..personal choice? I didn't ask him to or "make" him, if that's what you're hinting at!
