wine and pregnancy?

Question

Hey girls. How do you feel about wine and pregnancy? And if you're all for it... is the rule 1 (8oz) glass a week? Red or white? And at how many weeks? I'm not currently drinking wine while pregnant. I'm just curious on everyone's take on this. Thanks :)

Answer

Definitely not anything I would ever consider doing.

Answer

I personally would never do it. It's taken way too long to get pregnant, I'm not risking anything.

Answer

I won't be having any alcohol during pregnancy. Aside from my own personal reasons, the CDC recommends that pregnant women 100% abstain from drinking. If you were to have a tiny amount, it's probably best to wait until the third trimester.

Answer

Although some people say it's helpful or even beneficial, I have been advised by my obgyn, PCM, and family members to not. It's alcohol, regardless. I look at it like I wouldn't give it to my baby when born why am I going to risk it while pregnant? But I won't judge someone who does differently just wouldn't ever consider it for myself.

Answer

I've had a few sips with meals twice since I found out I was pregnant. If you look at how alcohol and food are metabolized, it's not the same as feeding the baby wine directly.

If you're curious to learn more about the data from many studies looking at alcohol and pregnancy, I highly recommend the book "expecting better". It's written by an economist who was frustrated by the lack of explanation behind what doctors often say, so she compared all the studies she could find to help make sense of them. It's understandably difficult to study moderate alcohol consumption during pregnancy since you can't exactly do a controlled experiment. The studies that do exist had many other confounding factors that make it hard to really conclude that absolutely no alcohol is acceptable.

Answer

No alcohol is worth risking my baby's health, so no.

Answer

I would have a glass of red wine here and there with my first. But i started in the end of the 2nd trimester the first time. My o.b. said it is perfectly fine. Its kow in alcohol content and helps relax momma which is benificial to the baby.

Answer

I've read that 3oz of red occasionally isn't bad. I personally had a little wine when I was 8 weeks (had just found out.. Just a few sips really) but I'm abstaining from it. I'm not really a drinker to start with. But of course now I wish I could have a glass now that I can't 😑 lol

Answer

I'm not. I don't judge anyone who does but I don't even like taking Tylenol during pregnancy. But I miss wine!! Especially when I have a rough day with my 3 year old!!!

Answer

I've had a sip here and there of my partners wine of beer. Normally when where out for a nice meal and I can't help the craving to taste lol. I have no judgement of those who do or don't have an occasional glass while pregnant.
