I hadn't had a drink since we found out we were pregnant in May but on my birthday I had a full champagne flute of asti (which I took 2.5 hours to drink) and last night I had half a glass of shiraz...we don't have any other big celebrations- so i think this would be my only alcohol intake during the pregnancy...
but I feel so guilty...they really dont know how much alcohol is too much and I think I read it worse if you have it later because of all the brain functioning that is going on...
Re: Ok so am I a bad mom?
Think of the women in Italy. They drink a lot more than that while pregnant.
Don't beat yourself up over it!

My DH is like that too - he even carefully monitors my caffeine intake...haha. For me - it isn't worth the issues with him...or the looks from family members, etc.
But if I didn't get that I would have a glass once in a while...not once a week, though.
see I have been having coffee- usually decaf but sometimes regular and I have one coke a week...
oh g_d...
