What's everyone's take on this topic? I'm in the 2ww and we are having friends over on Sunday for Memorial Day ... I feel guilty about drinking, but my friends tell me to have a glass of wine or two until i get a BFP. Thoughts?
In my opinion as long as you don't go and get black out drunk you are fine...having a few drinks is ok. I have read on hear "drink til its pink" GL to you!!
Drink till it's pink. You won't hurt the baby before you get a BFP. I got trashed like 3 days before I got my BFP. I never stopped drinking during the 2ww because I didn't know if it would be my last time being able to drink for 9 months!

Actually, there is no consensus in the medical community regarding how soon the pregnancy your fetus will be affected by alcohol. HOWEVER, some of the most important things develop first (like the beginnings of its brain) so most researchers advise not drinking during the 2 WW.
With that being said, I never worry about it until about 1 week in. I figure if it's not in my ute I'm probably OK. After that, I try to avoid alcohol. 1 week is not a big deal at all.
Re: drinking during the 2WW?
Again, Drink till it's pink...you dont share with the baby until 6 weeks anyway.
Have fun!
I was always, drink 'til it's pink type of girl...but, now I'm not drinking at all b/c Drs orders until we get DHs SA issues "figures out."
ETA: I agree w/MOO, if you ARE going to drink, moderation is key. All the sharing w/the baby stuff is still under debate, so go with your gut.
