We'll also share a bottle of wine around our anniversary (I say around because I'm not having a full cup on any given day.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-alcohol-during-your-pregnancy/page/2#post-114608 Sun, 08 Apr 2012 09:11:42 +0000 chrispygal 114608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had a half-glass of wine here or there and that's about it. What I really want is a martini, but there is no way I'm touching that until after LO is born. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-alcohol-during-your-pregnancy/page/2#post-114602 Sun, 08 Apr 2012 08:53:09 +0000 cvbee 114602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>technically, yes: I was in the 'drink til it's pink' camp<br /> and I did drink a lot of wine the night before I found out I was preggos. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-alcohol-during-your-pregnancy/page/2#post-114568 Sun, 08 Apr 2012 02:59:31 +0000 Ree723 114568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep - but not until I was well into the second trimester. I've had a few glasses of wine throughout pregnancy (I'm 29 weeks now) and have probably had 6 or 7 small glasses of wine total. My midwives/GP have all advised that it's perfectly safe and I have no qualms about it at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-alcohol-during-your-pregnancy/page/2#post-114248 Sat, 07 Apr 2012 07:39:46 +0000 looch 114248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had very little...my biggest no-no was a beer with sushi, but only one time and in my second tri. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-alcohol-during-your-pregnancy/page/2#post-114214 Sat, 07 Apr 2012 01:54:10 +0000 simpleandchic 114214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, I stayed clear during the first trimester but since then i will have a glass of wine with my meal when i feel like it or a glass of champagne here and there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-alcohol-during-your-pregnancy/page/2#post-114172 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 20:59:20 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 114172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope ... and no more than a sip while I've been BFing. I honestly don't miss it much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-alcohol-during-your-pregnancy/page/2#post-114119 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 20:10:41 +0000 pastemoo 114119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Goldilocks1107: LOL&gt; I bought the same 4 pack. I still have 2 left though--not as good as I hoped and so, in the end, not worth it. :( I put one in the stew I made earlier this week--it was much better cooked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-alcohol-during-your-pregnancy/page/2#post-113809 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 12:21:11 +0000 littlek 113809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't realize I was pregnant (we weren't trying) so I did drink until I found out I was pregnant. The doctor said it was really early and it didn't hurt the baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-alcohol-during-your-pregnancy/page/2#post-113803 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 12:11:47 +0000 mrsjazz 113803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>None! I wasn't planning on not drinking any alcohol, but it ended up that way. I did have a taste for beer recently and got some O'Douls.</p> <p>And I was a pretty social drinker before pregnancy. When I'm out with friends I just sniff their wine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-alcohol-during-your-pregnancy/page/2#post-113797 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 11:54:45 +0000 emahlee 113797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had drinks before I found I was pregnant and then sips here and there afterwards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-alcohol-during-your-pregnancy#post-113779 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 11:25:30 +0000 enjollah 113779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Had a sip of my friend's champagne on new years and a slice of heavily soaked tiramisu during christmas.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-alcohol-during-your-pregnancy#post-113778 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 11:25:04 +0000 prettylizy 113778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had 1 sip of beer during the entire pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-alcohol-during-your-pregnancy#post-113765 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 11:05:07 +0000 Pipers Mommy 113765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Small glass of champagne on my anniversary, but other than that I stayed clear. I also thought I would drink sooner than I did post birth but I actually waited 9 weeks before I drank any alcohol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-alcohol-during-your-pregnancy#post-113760 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 10:54:32 +0000 Maysprout 113760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, it was usually sips of DH's drink once in awhile. For a bit the taste of coffee or alcohol seemed yucky, anything with a slightly bitter taste tasted bad to me. But after a bit that went away so I'd have a quarter glass or a couple sips of DH if we had friends over or went somewhere. So that was less than once a week but more than once a month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-alcohol-during-your-pregnancy#post-113757 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 10:47:35 +0000 HabesBabe 113757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went wine tasting for our anniversary (I had a tiny sip of each pour-- so maybe 1/4 glass total that day?) in my late 2nd trimester. And I had a sip of hubs' wine at dinner 2 weeks ago. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-alcohol-during-your-pregnancy#post-113697 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 09:44:57 +0000 Goldilocks1107 113697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep - although I avoided it during the first trimester. I'll have sips of DH's beer. And I bought one of those 4-packs of individual sized bottles of wine, which has lasted me 12 weeks (and I still have 1 bottle to go). I can get 2.5-3 "glasses" of wine out of each bottle, which I think it about 2oz per "glass". Just enough to give me a nice taste that lasts me a week or so.<br /> But I'm definitely counting down to when I can have a full glass of wine without feeling guilty (6.5 weeks until EDD!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-alcohol-during-your-pregnancy#post-113674 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 09:23:29 +0000 chopsuey 113674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The stats are so interesting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-alcohol-during-your-pregnancy#post-113664 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 09:15:01 +0000 MamaMoose 113664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I won't have any during the first tri. During the second and third we have a couple of weddings so I'll probably have half a glass of wine at each. But we'll see how I feel in the moment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-alcohol-during-your-pregnancy#post-113655 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 09:06:18 +0000 BabyLove 113655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I didn't have any. I just wasn't willing to take the risk. I'm not much of a drinker anyway so it wasn't much of a hardship. Although, when you're not allowed to have things, you tend to crave them, which did happen sometimes. I accidentally ate a cherry that I didn't realize my crazy friend soaked in vodka (gross) but I was able to spit it out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-alcohol-during-your-pregnancy#post-113647 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 08:58:42 +0000 shortcake 113647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>None in the first trimester, but about a glass of red wine a week (with food) since then and have loved every single sip. I'm a big wine drinker anyway and have taken some of the classes towards becoming a sommelier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-alcohol-during-your-pregnancy#post-113646 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 08:58:04 +0000 SugarplumsMom 113646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I has a tiny sip of locally brewed mead hubby had bought (just to taste). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-alcohol-during-your-pregnancy#post-113638 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 08:52:05 +0000 Rubies 113638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Throughout my entire pregnancy, I had a total of 3-4 half-glasses of red wine, which my OB said was perfectly okay. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-any-alcohol-during-your-pregnancy#post-113634 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 08:50:45 +0000 LuLu Mom 113634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have had an N/A beer but no regular ful blown alcohol.
