Chardonnay anyone?

AshTBurk · December 2013

I'm 17 weeks and have had two 5-ounce glasses of Chardonnay since being pregnant. None in the first tri, it was just recently. And I measured in a measuring cup because I'm OCD, but was craving a little glass on those two occasions! I know that red wine is ok in small amounts in moderation, but I'm curious for your take on white. From what I'm reading online it seems to be considered ok, but I'd like to hear from other mamas who are having a little wine every now and then. I feel guilty, even though I know it's not a big deal!

I am more of a white wine drinker, I don't think I drank any red during my pregnancy with DS, had a glass of it on my due date which was also my due date.

I got my head bitten off by a midwife about having a glass of wine but then my OB said everything is ok in moderation.

NorthernGal248 · December 2013

I think it's okay. As long as you don't go off the deep end

momo214 · December 2013

I haven't heard a difference between red or white. Very jealous sitting here at work at 4:50 thinking about the days of going home to a glass of vino. I haven't drank during pregnancy yet but certainly not opposed in small amounts.

CamrynnsMommy · December 2013

I had a small glass of Boone's Farm Sangria (classy, I know) on Thanksgiving.

I don't really see a difference between red and white wine when it comes to drinking while pg. It's all fine in moderation. Some mommies have even had a few sips of beer.

Great now my husband is going to get a bottle of our favorite because of this. I don't see a damn thing wrong with a glass... My mom drank wine coolers with all 3 daughters. I'm pretty convinced we turned out pretty normal

omg I laughed out loud so hard at your christmas picture in your sig

dogsombrero · December 2013

I'm saving my booze (I plan to have a small glass of red with my mom) for Christmas but I did have an O'douls amber last night and it really satisfied my beer craving.

sisterjanet · December 2013

For me white wine is less likely to cause a headache, since I seem to be a little sensitive to something in red wine. (Tannin maybe?) I see no problem with small, moderate wine consumption in pregnancy, and am pretty sure it doesn't matter what kind... except maybe fortified wine.

Jillzy86 · December 2013

This site talks about the health bennifits of red and white wines. Of corse While we are pregnant we should keep it to one glass every so often.

Any bets on when the crazies will respond? I can hear "ANY ALCOHOL IS HORRIBLE! I'M DIALING CPS!" now.
On a better note, red wine is supposed to relax your uterus.

nicoleee89 · December 2013

I had half a glass of Green Apple Verdi and half a glass of Boones Farm Hawaiian on Thanksgiving, the only time i've drank except for the one time I had a tiny bit of vodka when i was 3 weeks along (had no idea i was pregnant, found out 2 weeks later).

All of the research i've done has shown it to be ok in moderation so I try to avoid it as much as possible.

AshTBurk · December 2013

Thanks ladies, I feel more at ease knowing I'm not alone!

dakota01 · December 2013

My CNM actually said to have a glass of red wine at the end of pregnancy when I was overdue to chill out- the high risk ob said same thing. But, being that I didn't want to go in smelling of vino I did not try that route. I think a glass is fine for a once in a while thing- like Christmas or New Years. I don't think it needs to be weekly, but that's just me. I took a swig straight from the bottle when I was cooking with some pinot the other night and it was amazing!

afroelke · December 2013

I've had 4oz of red or white wine once a week since 13 weeks just if we are out with friends to feel "part" of the group, or if it's a rough day at work, everything is fine in moderation.

No no no, we don't want your kind 'round here. Please go away. Thank you kindly.

yvanehtnioj · December 2013

Had a small glass of grenache noir with Thanksgiving dinner. Later on that night I had a tiny bit of the Fortissimo (raspberry port!!) I bought over the summer. I couldn't not try it. And I've had a couple sips of my husband's beer here & there, if he's got something new & exciting. All so lovely.

How come all her flagging has not gotten her banned yet!!

I'm not sure, but surely it's coming soon.

Crazijewel · December 2013

I had a wonderful glass of Chardonnay on Thanksgiving and will on Christmas. I think it's fine.

@CamrynnsMommy looks like she just added you to her flagging. Maybe the M14 rejects can start their own facebook group. Redrosepinkwhatever, Crazy Spanking Lady and now Nicoleee89 can head it up and welcome any others.

My first real flag! "I'm so excited, I'm so excited!" ::Jessie Spano version::

rainydayluck · December 2013

Man, I really really want a glass of wine. I am too scared of triggering a migraine though since I cannot take my imatrex.

Bella Swan would never have had a drink during her pregnancy. How uncaring.

Baileypearl · December 2013

I have had a few glasses of blush wine so far, enjoy!

Are you also "...so, so scared"? Best episode of that show ever!

mmks · December 2013

I had a small glass every now and then when I was pregs with my son (when I could even stay awake to finish it)! I feel no guilt about it with this pregnancy either. Have had a glass of red and half a beer in the 2nd trimester already. Hope to have a mimosa on Christmas

Mmmmm!

I couldn't agree more!

sthomas1222 · December 2013

Dammit, I always miss the fun stuff. Now I have to go read all her posts to figure out why the crazy...

sthomas1222 · December 2013

Oh & I had the best glass of moscato the other day. Judge away for my choice in alcohol during pregnancy lol. The midwives here will tell you a glass of wine to relax if you're having early contractions or go overdue. They don't specify white or red, just drink lol.

it's ok if you are.... we got you.

This is amazing!

sammy.k · December 2013

Oooh save me a glass of that green apple vampire juice. Sounds.... Amazing?

Mittens14 · December 2013

I haven't had any alcohol this pregnancy but I would think red and white would be the same? Not sure. when I was pregnant with DS, I had a few glasses of white in the third trimester, made them into white wine spritzers to make them last longer too lol! If the guy with the medical degree watching over me says it's fine, then I'm good with that

Enjoy ladies!

I had no idea what you were talking about until i looked at her past posts...... that was fun. thanks.

tjkdlhb · December 2013

I'm avoiding it. I've worked with too many kids with FASD and I know that personally even if I had only a little I'd be thinking about it and worrying about it, so it's not worth that stress for me.

She's been banned now.

But she did seemingly create another profile. It is cuppycakeluv or something similar...so if you see any posts from a newbie with a similar name, but on the look out.

Chardonnay anyone?
