Soon I'm going really need brie cheese (my favorite food the world and I don't know how I'll survive not having it until January!). </p> <p>On Alcohol: I've been drinking a mix of sparkling water with blueberry juice in a wine glass to try and mimic that feeling of drinking a real drink. It's pretty yummy. But I've been lucky and haven't craved alcohol at all. I feel like it would make me sick if I had some. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-want-a-drink-so-bad#post-251197 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 17:21:06 +0000 littlebug 251197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been ok so far, but Hubs is making a batch of wine right now and it'll be ready to drink right around my due date (1/10). I told him to bring a bottle to the hospital for us and our families to share! Ha ha.</p> <p>ETA: On the rare occasion when I do crave a beer, I drink an NA O'Doules Amber and that satisfies it well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-want-a-drink-so-bad#post-251167 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 16:42:09 +0000 Running Elley 251167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh my gosh. I wasn’t a big drinker before anyway but I’ve been craving it lately too!! I would kill for sangria or a margarita… </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-want-a-drink-so-bad#post-251159 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 16:36:21 +0000 sorrycharlie 251159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Minnie_Girl: oh wow! my husband felt bad for me and offered me a sip, lol. </p> <p>@sloaneandpuffy: hmmm..sounds intriguing!! I feel like I could justify a glass of wine but not sure if I could justify a glass of sangria (the fruit drink kind)..lol! I cannot wait til she's here though so I can indulge..even if it'll be fall and kinda out of season, anyway. psh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-want-a-drink-so-bad#post-250757 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 11:23:27 +0000 mamimami 250757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband and I both have our glass of wine or beer once a week. It would be hard to abstain all nine months! (And obviously in my case I feel it's unnecessary!)</p> <p>PS There is a Mexican soda called Sangría and it's non-alcoholic. Maybe that would help. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-want-a-drink-so-bad#post-250740 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 11:14:57 +0000 Minnie_Girl 250740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH says drinking while pregnant is grounds for divorce. Otherwise I'd totally be enjoying a bit of wine every now and then! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-want-a-drink-so-bad#post-250735 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 11:12:05 +0000 BananaPancakes 250735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a small glass of wine and about half a beer throughout my pregnancy. Maybe two or three times a month. I really wanted a beer like every day, though. Thank heavens I wasn't due in the summer because I seriously crave a cold drink when it's hot out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-want-a-drink-so-bad#post-250654 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 10:28:48 +0000 mrskc 250654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have been wanting some red wine BAD! haha Especially a few weeks back when we went to the coast and there were wineries all over the place. I can't wait to have some wine after I have this baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-want-a-drink-so-bad#post-250638 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 10:16:02 +0000 blackbird 250638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had non alcoholic beer with food before. Beer and burgers just go together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-want-a-drink-so-bad#post-250244 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 20:44:12 +0000 MaisyMay 250244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd love a glass of chilled white or rose right now. Hubs isn't much of a drinker (neither am I), but if I did convince him to have a bottle so that I could have a sip, the bottle would last months...I guess I'll wait until December. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-want-a-drink-so-bad#post-250190 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 20:17:29 +0000 Mommy Finger 250190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I probably have a glass of wine about once a month and don't feel guilty about it. I save the crap out of that glass though and make it last. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-want-a-drink-so-bad#post-249849 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 15:34:30 +0000 matador84 249849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jessiejo17 i cant wait to have some beer while watching football too! football season is my favorite season, ha ha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-want-a-drink-so-bad#post-249847 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 15:31:54 +0000 LuLu Mom 249847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been dreaming (literally dreaming) of my favorite wine for several nights now! I already told DH that there better be a bottle chilled for me when I get home from the hospital (although I'm sure the luxury will be lost!) I also want sangria and a nice ice cold beer while watching football ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-want-a-drink-so-bad#post-249777 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 14:57:51 +0000 MsLipGloss 249777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SorryCharlie: You're totally not losing it! I have been *dying* for a glass of Riesling for months now! When I see a chilled glass of wine my mouth waters and I can *smell* the cool sweetness. Annnnd right now, there is a bottle already chilled in the fridge, along with some Corona (we had friends over, and they had the nerve to *not* drink all the beer! slackers!) 5 weeks and counting . . . ohhhh-emmmm-geeee.</p> <p>@MrsMcCarthy: I love when there is a connection between what I eat and butterbean's activities. If I drink a Diet Coke, she is ho-hum about it . . . if I eat a bowl of mixed berries with some sugar-free Cool Whip, whoa nelly! She totally loves it!</p> <p>@HighWire: I totally agree. Thinking about having a glass of wine at the end of the day (or with DH at dinner) is so mentally relaxing. And as the clock winds down on this pg, I could really use a release from the mental stress and anxiety. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-want-a-drink-so-bad#post-249772 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 14:54:16 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 249772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: I was like you before pregnancy and once I was in my 3rd trimester, I had a glass of wine on a few occasions. I didn't even finish most of the time because I felt suuuuper relaxed and it quenched my thirst for drinking. </p> <p>Oh, and LO came out perfectly fine ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-want-a-drink-so-bad#post-249769 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 14:50:09 +0000 DillonLion 249769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm was never a huge drinker, but it is such an easy means to relaxation that I can't find otherwise...so that is where my craving comes from, I think! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-want-a-drink-so-bad#post-249767 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 14:48:59 +0000 septca 249767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have wanted a drink SO bad this whole pregnancy. I had nothing the first 12 weeks, but have started having sips of my husband's beer or wine here or there. I even had a "glass" of wine with dinner last night (and by "glass," I mean a glass with about 3 sips worth of wine in it) and it was AMAZING. I definitely need to cut myself off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-want-a-drink-so-bad#post-248997 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 20:26:03 +0000 matador84 248997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@andrea that is CRAZY! I wish mine would but I live in a super conservative area and tons of people here don't drink at all. DH and I have a super nice, expensive bottle of champagne we were going to drink on our 3rd anniversary, which is next Wednesday...getting prego totally changed that! I would love to drink it as soon as we come home from the hospital though! It would be a great occasion to celebrate, but I'm sure I'll feel like crap! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-want-a-drink-so-bad#post-248947 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 19:19:48 +0000 SleepyMonkey 248947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i have the biggest hankering for red wine, and on a hot day, a nice cold beer! I CANNOT WAIT to have my first drink after baby arrives. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-want-a-drink-so-bad#post-248903 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 17:26:49 +0000 Andrea 248903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lydg: they gave us champagne in the hospital so you can drink right away! I can't wait ... I could use a drink, too. I think it is the hot, summer weather? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-want-a-drink-so-bad#post-248893 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 17:16:22 +0000 matador84 248893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ME TOO! That's probably why I had the thread earlier today how soon did you drink post-baby? I WANT SOME BEER SO BAD!! Margarita, martini, bloody mary...I'll take anything I can get my hands on! I am sure once I can have some booze, I'll take one sip and be disgusted! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-want-a-drink-so-bad#post-248877 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 16:51:00 +0000 MamaMoose 248877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For the first half of my pregnancy the thought of having alcohol made me want to puke my guts out. But now that I'm not constantly sick to my stomach I'm actually starting to miss it. We are going to the beach with my extended family next week and I know all the ladies are going to be drinking wine and it's going to be such a bummer that I can't partake!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-want-a-drink-so-bad#post-248874 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 16:44:53 +0000 MrsMccarthy 248874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had three sips of processco yesterday for the first time since my bfp! it was delicious and baby went nuts hahaha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-want-a-drink-so-bad#post-248849 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 16:05:18 +0000 sorrycharlie 248849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: seriously! I have never enjoyed beer..and I stared at my husband while he drank a sam adams the other day. he said I'm starting to creep him out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-want-a-drink-so-bad#post-248846 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 16:04:27 +0000 sorrycharlie 248846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: @jholler25: haha thank god I'm not the only one! I'm a little afraid that if I take a sip or two (DH offered me some of his drink at friday's) I'll want more. My friend said she'd bring me a pitcher of sangria when I come home with the baby..lol. I can totally taste it, too..oy. bizarre pregnancy cravings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-want-a-drink-so-bad#post-248845 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 16:03:28 +0000 mrsjyw 248845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>RIGHT THERE WITH YOU! I'm not a huge drinker by any means (total light weight).... and I'm not even a beer fan; and in this summer heat, it's all I could think about!</p> <p>I did get some sparkling wine to curb my appetite... but it really isn't the same! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-want-a-drink-so-bad#post-248841 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 16:01:34 +0000 PrincessBaby 248841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe if you have a couple of sips it'll curb it! I was craving wine so bad and I had a couple of sips of DH's &amp; I've been okay since:). I also had tried a pretty good NA beer a couple of months ago when I got the craving- St Pauli Girl NA. It really tasted like beer and it got me over the craving! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-want-a-drink-so-bad#post-248831 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 15:54:14 +0000 hilsy85 248831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You're not alone! We were away this week sitting by a pool, and I was CRAVING a nice cold beer or fruity margarita. Only a few more months to go (less for you!) :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-want-a-drink-so-bad#post-248829 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 15:52:23 +0000 sorrycharlie 248829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hope this doesn't make me sound like a lush! Before I was pregnant, I only drank socially - a couple glasses of wine at family things or a wedding, etc. Occasionally a drink with dinner out at a restaurant. I haven't done a shot in 3+ years??</p> <p>ALL I can think about lately is drinking! A beer, even, and I'm picky with beer. Wine. Sangria (OMG sangria..with fresh fruit!). Someone on facebook posted a photo of a shot and I could *taste* it..WHAT THE HECK??</p> <p>Am I losing it? </p>
