Drinking?

Question

Hi all! This is the first month that my husband and I have started TTC. I'm 13 days until my next period. My question is about drinking. Lol 😜 I have a girls weekend planned next weekend July 22-23(weekend before my period)...would it be okay to drink or probably not? We aren't wanting people to know we are really TTC yet since it's the first month and I know if I don't drink that weekend I will get questioned about it haha but I don't want it to harm anything in case I might be pregnant. Any advice would be great! 😊

Answer

I lived by the motto drink until it's pink! I drank at a girls night a lot 2 nights before my bfp. You can drink as much as you want when ttc. The baby isn't living off of you for a few months so you are good! Don't let ttc change you lifestyle!

Answer

I wouldn't binge drink but 2 to 3 drinks spaced out would be ok

Answer

Take a test before you go and if it's negative, have fun

Answer

I like the drink until it is pink comment! So you cannot have fetal alcohol syndrome during this time period. It is too soon to cause problems like that. If you binge drink you have a higher risk of chemical pregnancy/miscarriage. The reason is because your baby, if you're pregnant, isn't really a "baby" yet. It is a collection of stem cells. If your glass of wine were to say kill a stem cell, any other stem cell will take over in its place. If you kill too many stem cells (binge drinking) you don't have implantation and you won't be pregnant. All or nothing type deal. So feel free to drink, but try to space it out, and not get too intoxicated at any one point.
