Pregnant after a Loss
Would you be mad at DH
If he was drinking tonight with friends? I saw this on another board and I couldn't believe it.
Picture you, your DH and a couple of friends at your house to celebrate NYE adn he was planning on drinking... would you be mad at him and expect him to stay sober because you had to stay sober?
*I would not. Its part of life, I am pg and DH isn't, why cant he drink? Now, if I was further along and was already progressing in labor and there was a chance we would be headed to the hospital-- then he should probably stay somewhat sober and we wouldn't be having all of our friends over right?

Re: Would you be mad at DH
was this on a tri board? those women are nuts.
That being said, I wouldn't give less than a rat's behind. I'm not an alkie (alchie?), so I wouldn't be jealous that I couldn't drink. I'd just eat my weight in desserts b/c I can

I wouldn't be mad or annoyed. DH and I were big wine drinkers (made it a hobby to try new wines) and spent every Friday at happy hour. Now he says he's drinking for 2, still tries new wines on his own, and still goes to happy hour. I'd go with him but it's a smoking bar. He also goes to the bar every Sunday to watch his team (they aren't local so they are never on at hour house). We are married, but it doesn't mean we need to be together every second of every day, nor does it mean we need to act like each other.
The only time I'd be mad is if I was close to going into labor, but I know my DH wouldn't be that stupid to get wasted at that time

Definitely not. While I admit it makes me jealous and after about 3 hours with drunk people it gets really old, I'd rather he had a good time then just sat there just bc I was pg..silly if you ask me.
It is hard for me to imagine that scenario because DH is not a drinker at all.
No I would not be mad

This! I don't like a drunk DH, well unless of course I am as well.
Nope, no biggie. At least he's staying at home and not going to the bar with the guys and leaving you home. Let him enjoy. There will come a day when he has to stay sober and you can drink...maybe.
My DH has never had a drink in his life, though, and I think I would be a little jealous if he started drinking while I was pg. That could have different meanings: 1) I'm such a crazy chic while pg, I have driven him to drinking and 2) Crazy drunk sex would not be fun with him drunk and me just, well, riding... HA!
No.
Tonight we're hanging out with friends who have a very small child and we'll just be sitting at their house having dinner and such. I encouraged DH to go to the store and buy whatever he wanted to drink. No reason for him not to. Drinking isn't that important to me that if I can't do it, he can't either.
Mad? No. Jealous? A little
We're having another couple over tonight, and I fully expect that I will be the only one not drinking all night. I figure DH should drink up, since we'll be at our house and no one has to drive!
I wouldn't, either. Just because I won't be having any adult beverage (and will likely be asleep hours before midnight!!) shouldn't stop him from enjoying himself. We were invited to a NYE party and I don't feel up to it and told DH to go and have a good time...doesn't bother me a bit. (He did pass b/c he would rather be with me.)

Round 1: Femara + Ovidrel +TI = BFP! EDD 2/20/12
2IF does not always equal 3IF...Surprise!
i'm not sure. it honestly depended on how drunk he got. if he was just tipsy drunk, that's fine. but if he was falling down drunk and puking everywhere, not so much. but he wouldn't do that anyway.
This exactly. A glass of wine would be nice, but not a huge deal. DH can get trashed tonight if he wants (he isn't a big drinker, so probably wont happen). As long as he doesn't vomit on my new bathroom rug, I don't care.

Actually, DH will be out with his friends tonight. He's away for training out of state. All I asked was that I got a phone call at midnight.
But, if he were here, I would have no problems with him drinking with his friends. He not a big drinker though anyways. So, I doubt he'd be sh!tfaced.
As long as I got to be there to laugh at him, I would be fine with it. If he wanted to leave me at home and go out drinking with the boys..... THAT would not be cool.
