Did you have a glass of wine while pregnant?

AngelaL · March 2010

Here and there, that is. I've heard of some doctors saying it's fine. With DD I didn't have one drop of anything. This time I am craving wine like it's chocolate! lol

AgrippaRidesAgain · March 2010

No, I always said that I'd have one once I knew I was in labor just to calm my nerves, but then I had an induction so that didn't happen.

This time I've got too much m/s to care about wine so far.

2nd and 3rd tri- one glass of red wine a week.

Its a personal decision- I made it- i was happy with it- DD turned out more than fine- and i am doing the same thing this time.

mulva33 · March 2010

yes, many.

Crazycrustacean · March 2010

After my 1st tri was over I did with both kids. My ob said it was fine to have some every now & again.

He also said that late in 3rd tri, when I was having ctx, to have a glass or 2 & take a warm bath. If the ctx went away, it wasn't real labor.

lexigrl · March 2010

I had one glass of red wine about 4 days before DS was born.

mrskadams · March 2010

Nope. I just didn't want it.

armywife7205 · March 2010

No... After teaching many kids with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome... I wasn't willing to risk it. I might have if I was over due to relax me into labor but before that it was something I was not willing to do.

snowinlv · March 2010

I tried but the heartburn after one sip was enough to make me never try it again!

MamiJam · March 2010

No, I don't drink much at all as it is. One of my midwives said it was fine to have a glass of champagne on New Years though... I still didn't.

Temp856430000003146 · March 2010

Yes.

I think I had a total of 2 or 3 glasses my entire pregnancy. My doctor said as often as once every week or two would be fine. I love red wine, and I didn't see a problem with it.

That said, I probably won't next time around. I just know if there ended up being a problem with #2 I would blame myself for drinking the wine.

madhatter2003 · March 2010

yes.

Parks2Be · March 2010

Same here. I am not even going to bother this time around.

lauren216 · March 2010

Nope. I was perfectly fine without having a glass for 9 months. I dont care that much about it!

CFO · March 2010

Yes, occasionally, after 1st tri.

Lotzodotz · March 2010

Nope. Not a risk I was willing to take, no matter how insignificant the risk was. I gave up everything "the book" says too. I say I won't be as crazy next time, but I probably will.

ashg8r · March 2010

On occasion - I only ever wanted it when I was out to dinner so I had to get over my thoughts of "what will people think" and just enjoy it when I wanted.

EMWindy · March 2010

Yes, I have - but not until later in the pregnancy (late 2nd and 3rd trimester). I only have one glass.

I went out for drinks with my boss a couple weeks ago, and he ordered me a margarita - to which I said "No thanks, I'll have a glass of red wine".

*blondiem* · March 2010

Yes, I did.

habsoilers · March 2010

I tried but the heartburn was too much. But I did have a little wine at a work dinner one night.

fxz109 · March 2010

Yes. I had very small amounts at Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day. I don't think it was a big deal, and I'll probably do the same with #2 once I'm out of the first trimester.

NowDNAtoo · March 2010

I haven't with either pg. The only thing that I did this pg was at New Years I let the champagne hit my lip (like barely a drop) and that was it.

Kateysomething · March 2010

Just last week, in fact. It was deeeeelicious.

lmdbww · March 2010

I did not.

KTH919 · March 2010

I didn't with DS. I love wine, but I might be too scared this pregnancy to try it.

doctor girlfriend · March 2010

absolutely!!

i believe in moderation.

miss.jess · March 2010

Nope, but mainly because I hate red wine! I don't care what others do though, my mom had one a day when pregnant with me.

DH blames that for my ADD.

johnsoar · March 2010

nope, not worth it imo.

AmyDrinkie · March 2010

I had a glass in 2nd tri and one in 3rd tri. Both times I lost interest about halfway through. It just didn't taste as good as it did before I was pregnant.

MrsVictoriaB · March 2010

Nope and I wouldn't, but that's just me

Alex26 · March 2010

No, I didnt want to risk it. I know that a glass probably wouldnt do anything to the baby, but if it had, I couldnt live with the guilt.

DG1 · March 2010

I didn't. I know full well that a glass here and there is fine, but I could never get it out of my head that "maybe this is the day he's trying to grow teeth and I'm going to ruin them!" or "what if he's forming his pituitary gland tonight?"

Stupid, I know, but in the end, it wasn't worth it to me, because I knew I'd blame myself if anything bad happened, even though I know it wouldn't have been my fault.

andrealynn0707 · March 2010

Well, I didn't find out I was pg until 9 weeks. During that 9 weeks I had A LOT of liquor of all kinds. I decided once I found out to not have any more even though my OB said it was fine occasionally.
