Drinking alcohol

So who else has been drinking since miscarrying?  It's been over a month since I lost the baby and it still feels weird to drink.  I had it set in my mind that I wasn't going to be able to drink until after April and it's a weird feeling when I have a beer or a glass of wine.  I guess I better enjoy it while I can because we are hoping to get pregnant again soon!

    Yeah I drank tonight and its very weird. I start thinking im doing something wrong and then I realize its ok. I'm doing that with a few other things as well. Its hard to reprogram.

    Completely understand. The hubby and I are watching the A&M vs Texas game and have 2 beers and also thought I was doing something wrong. My hubby had to remind me that it's ok now to drink because I won't be able to once we start trying again!

    I felt the same way, too. Not just with drinking - baths, climbing things, food...

    Now I am cracking the wine and have been having a nice glass of red per night. DH thinks I am drinking too much. (He doesn't indulge).

    I had some coffee last night for the first time since before we initially started TTC, because I had to work a 14 hour night shift. I was WIRED the whole time. It was actually pretty amusing. I'm trying to allow myself to indulge in some of my pre-TTC favorites -- I'm making DH take me out for sushi next week, I have a six-pack of tasty beer I am slowly drinking.. nothing over the top, but I'm trying to make the best of the situation. And I really missed sushi.

    I drank when I came home from the hospital.   My m/c was sudden and complete; and I was so hysterical and exhausted I couldn't sleep.   I thought a glass couldn't hurt.

    I am having trouble allowing myself to drink too-it has been three weeks for me-I just don't want it-maybe it is our mind's way of saying "careful" since we could use it to mask our emotions?

    Admittedly, I did this about 2 weeks after the m/c.   I was supposed to go to a baby shower the next day, and I was just miserable.   I started drinking, and it felt so good to not feel bad, I kept going.  Then I had a breakdown.   I'm not proud of it, but I guess it let my guard down enough to really talk to DH about just how badly I was doing.

    Hey, no judging here.  If a little alcohol lets the real emotions out, so be it.  I didn't do that with the m/c....I had an amazing ability to talk to DH about that.  But I have done it in other situations in life and I think it's okay...as long as you aren't getting drunk everyday to hide from your feelings!

    Hope you are doing better now :)
