1 drink!?

Question

Moms please help! Not my 1st pregnancy I'm on my 4th..but in craving a margarita or Corona so bad!!!! I'm not a drinker at all.. just like at a special occasion and its 1-2mixed drinks. Any mom drinking give in just one time!?

Accepted Answer

Watch a video about fetal alcohol syndrome and then decide if you need to satisfy the craving that bad...

Answer

Why not just buy margarita mix ? Make it the exact same way you would normally just minus the liquor ! Might fix that craving. I don’t think it’s worth risking but that’s just my personal opinion.

Answer

I feel like I’m going to get slaughtered for this but here it goes: I think one drink would be fine. I know a lot of women who had one drink a week their entire pregnancy and my OB doesn’t officially recommend it but she said it would probably be fine. I’m not drinking because it doesn’t sound good to me, but if later in my pregnancy I crave a glass of wine, I’ll probably have one. I can say for sure that one margarita is definitely not going to cause fetal alcohol syndrome. That happens after heavy consistent drinking. I also think the idea of making a virgin and seeing if that helps with your craving is a good one!

Sonic has those new mocktails. I think they have a margrita one. I also have been craving that margrita flavor but mostly I think because of the frozen aspect with salt. I wouldn't chance any alcohol during pregnancy so this may be an option if you want to stay away from "that one drink".

Answer

You’re probably craving the sweet and sour. They can be made virgin. Im holding back judgements but wondering why you didn’t think of that solution.

Answer

Have you thought to maybe ask your doctor about why you’re craving alcohol? It could be related to a specific vitamin you could be lacking. 
Your doctor may be able to prescribe you something to help. 
I’m craving tuna really bad and my doctor told me to start taking Omega-3 and it’s helped a ton!

Answer

No amount of alcohol is safe during pregnancy.

Answer

I had a virgin one the other week. It tasted just as refreshing. Just no “kick” lol.

Answer

That’s all I crave when pregnant but I just stock up when I’m pregnant and go crazy after :) I don’t want to risk anything happening, you just never know
