Wine?

Justtee33 · June 2012

What are your thoughts on drinking wine during pregnancy? Some say a 1/2 glass every now and then is ok. Just wondering

Allycat11 · June 2012

Personally, I will not touch anything during first tri. Later in pregnancy I may have a half glass of wine for a special occasion such as my anniversary.

BLPL101 · June 2012

It's up to you, but I won't be touching any alcohol the entire pregnancy. I'm a worry wort.

Like PPs, I don't plan to make a regular thing of it, but a tiny bit here or there (like for the champagne toast at my sister's wedding in August) is ok by me.w

I have a glass of red wine once a week. Sometimes it's the favorite part of my week! The decision is entirely up to you and your comfort level.

Logic tells me that it's okay (half a glass occasionally), but when I did it (at a party where no one knew I was pregnant so I wanted something to hold so I didn't get any questions), I felt crampy the next day. Even though it's probably not related, it's stressed me out. I would just feel like such an idiot if something did go wrong and worry that I caused it. So I'm not having any. But that might change in later stages. I know a few people had the occasional glass in later trimester's.

In the mean time - DH found non-alcoholic wine for me which is actually good (called Ariel from Sonoma) . The red was great when he made a pasta with red sauce feast. But having nausea now, I don't currently want to ingest anything if I don't have to.

I've also been drinking fun juice mixes on the weekends. Ie: blending coconut milk and pineapple. Tasty and I can have it on a fun glass. Planning to do rumless-mojitos soon (lemonade only).

Uh- I kind of liked to drink before this...

Not yet for me. With ds I had a glass twice, which I sipped on for a couple hours. It's really up to you. One or two probably won't hurt....

Once I get out of first tri I will have the ocassional glass.

jobiann · June 2012

I love wine, I mean LOVE wine! But I'm not going to touch it while pregnant...just a personal choice.

QCBride06 · June 2012

Definitely nothing during first trimester...... And will most likely not have a drop all pregnancy, as I did with the first. Despite my deep love of wine, it's just not worth it, in my opinion.....

Me too!

Tiffany946 · June 2012

After 4 losses, I'm not risking anything. I want a healthy bouncy baby in 9 months and won't touch anything that is even risky...

meansbaby2013 · June 2012

I stick to sparkling grape juice. I don't think I would risk it. My hubby and I celebrated our 4 yr yesterday and we had wine in the room at the hotel. I asked the front desk if we could have sp. grape juice and they brought us some.

Me too. And it's only 9 months. I don't crave it that much.

This is what I did with DD and I will probably do again this time.

This. It's a lot less toxic than many things pregnant are exposed to/ ingest. It really depends on your comfort level.

lol. you and me both.

I didn't really drink with DD, but this time I think i'll have a beer or glass of wine once a week.

AmyT107 · June 2012

Like many other women, I love wine too! But, not going to risk it. My husband actually brought me home a bottle of alcohol removed wine (merlot and chardonnay) called Fre, which is surprisingly good.

LittleGus · June 2012

Nms and if I saw a pregnant person taking sips or having a toast at a wedding I would side eye.

[Deleted User] · June 2012

I LOVE wine! However, pregnant me does not. Ick!

During the 2nd/3rd tri, esp. warm days, I do enjoy a n/a beer with lime & a pinch of salt. It's weird because I usually don't enjoy beer.

That is ridiculous.

This. My 5-year wedding anniversary is in September and I'll be 23 weeks by then, so I may contemplate half a glass of champagne.

SarahandSam2007 · June 2012

I m counting down to the end of week 13, and will then allow myself one glass of wine a week with dinner/out to lunch with a girlfriend. In the meantime, I've found the teeniest sips from my husband are more than sufficient. I am interested to see how people react to me when we are eating out and I choose to have my glass...

Kingston54 · June 2012

No wine or any other alcohol during pregnancy are my thoughts!

AlyssaT90 · June 2012

There's a reason that the label on the bottle says not to drink it of you're pregnant. Fetal alcohol syndrome is too serious a thing to mess with. A glass every now and then probably wouldn't be too serious. But I really wouldn't risk the health of my unborn child just for a bit of alcohol.
