will you have a glass of champagne tonight

heatherfaith · December 2009

I have never had a sip of anything with alcohol while pregnant. I thought it would be nice to have a glass of champagne tonight. is that ok? anyone else?

BabyS. · December 2009

This is an alcohol free pregnancy for me! Smile

I'll be sipping some sparkling grape juice!

jkfranklin · December 2009

No, but I'm not a fan of the bubbly. I would have had a glass of wine at Christmas, but nobody cracked a bottle! Maybe they were trying to be nice and not flaunt it in front of me. Who knows?

i had 3 sips of champagne in 2nd tri at a wedding and felt horribly guilty afterwards so i will not. i do plan on getting some yummy things to make mocktails tonight tho!!!

ecoppins · December 2009

Yes, most likely. I had a glass at my sister's wedding too. My dr said it was fine, but you may want to check with yours if you are concerned.

dib · December 2009

I'd have a little glass if we had some. I'll probably take sips of whatever DH makes himself to drink tonight. It's not worth opening a bottle of wine for 1/2 glass for me. But I say go for it if you want. You might end up taking a couple sips and realizing, that's all it took to curb that craving!

Sassystace · December 2009

I just saw my doctor today and he told me to enjoy a glass of bubbly. Not sure if I will or not--more likely a small glass of wine.

khaenlein · December 2009

Yup, I'll ring in 2010 with a glass of good champagne!

I wish! My OB is fine with the occasional glass of alcohol (as am I!), but gestational diabetes is screwing with my plans. Christmas morning, everyone was drinking mimosas, so I had 1/2 glass of champagne with 1/2 glass of light cranberry juice (instead of yummy, sugary OJ), and my blood sugar still jumped higher than I would have liked. Not sure if it was the juice or the alcohol, but I'd rather not test it again!

Alcohol free pregnancy for me too ... haven't had a drop of alcohol since I've been pregnant so we went with organic sparkling apple cider for me this year ... that's the only bubbly that I'll be drinking ... but, I don't think that my doc would object to me having a class of champagne ... just choosing not too ...

AFWife1229 · December 2009

Nope, I love champagne, but I've made it almost 37 weeks without drinking...I can wait a few more. Not worth it to me.

Ditto this. If I even make it to midnight without falling asleep.

WonderWoman27 · December 2009

I won't be having any alcohol. I haven't taken any medications for anything yet either and I'm trying really hard to keep it that way. I just don't want anything like that exposed to LO yet.

ncavitt · December 2009

I haven't had anything either, not even a sip. I think I'm waiting until I come home after the baby is born and having a toast with my husband one night then. I doubt I will make it past 10pm tonight anyway.

hjf2B · December 2009

I saw my doctor yesterday and she told me I was welcome to have a glass of bubbly tonight. This has been an alcohol-free pregnancy for me thus far, and I doubt I'll drink a whole glass... maybe just a few sips, or a few sips of wine. Happy New Year, everyone!

Battlebaby09 · December 2009

I may have some sparkling juice. I am too much of a worrier to drink alcohol.

AnotherChance · December 2009

I haven't had any alcohol this pregnancy and don't plan to drink any champagne tonight, but I don't see anything wrong with someone who's past the first tri having a small glass. I'm just choosing not to.

WILDEJ · December 2009

I've had the occasional glass of wine every now and then (after trying every kind of non alcoholic wine in the world to no avail - they all taste terrible). But that worked because I could have my little glass and then DH could finish the bottle throughout the week so it wouldn't spoil. Now that I could potentially go into labor at any time DH has not been drinking (he has to remain absolutely sober while driving) so I hate to open a whole bottle of champagne and throw the rest out. I am planning on heading to the store tonight to see if I can find some good NA alternative.

Iheartkevi · December 2009

I'm having a glass of red wine. My MW told me to yesterday after my BP issues.

Ditto! Told my husband I was going to get fake drunk!

Luv-a-Bug · December 2009

I've had an occasional glass of wine, (after first tri was over, that is)... and my friends are not judgy so I will be having a glass of champagne at midnight.

projectkjetil · December 2009

I won't because I'm normally the only imbiber in the household. I can't imagine buying a whole bottle to just take a sip, although those mini-bottles are a teensy bit enticing. I think I'll just wait a few weeks and drink a glass in the delivery room.

Calibride31304 · December 2009

nope, but I'm working all night tonight so it will sparkling cider for all of us nurses on the unit.

Carrot303 · December 2009

I am absolutely, positively enjoying a full glass of champagne. My OB has been delivering babies for 25 years and when I told him I was going to Vegas a few weeks ago, without prompting, he told me to enjoy ONE glass of wine for each of the three nights I was there. I really think pg girls are more uptight about the alcohol thing then most OBs. (My OB in Texas before moving to CO was perfectly fine with the occasional glass as well.) I have no qualms whatsoever but it's definitely an individual decision for everyone.

Fifer · December 2009

Absolutely! I will be enjoying a very nice glass of Champagne tonight with DH to ring in 2010....the year we will finally be parents! Eeek!

cabinwife · December 2009

Nope, not worth it to me, plus all it would accomplish would be to give me a headache and make it even harder to stay up until midnight! I'm toasting with Sprite instead--I crave it all the time but stay away from it because of all the sugar, so it's a rare-treat thing for me anyway.
