So far in pregnancy I have tasted red wine a few times, limoncella a single time and had a small glass of champagne at New Years. You have to do a lot of reasearch on your own so you can have a stress free pregnancy.It's not the caffeine part she's concerned about, it's the chicory. The actual statement is "there is no While there is lots of anecdotal evidence to indicate that moderate amounts are probably fine, for me, I just don't see a reason to risk it.I'm an educator. Because we KNOW there is a potential harm to the baby having a medical practitioner do that is entirely unethical because we'd be LOOKING to cause harm to the fetus to see where the line from "ok" to "not ok" is. I'm neither a doctor nor researcher, so I think other moms should make the choice that makes sense for them.Look up breastfeeding and alcohol. otherwise you should be fine, just avoid it from now on.Eh, I had a whole pint of cola the other day, and I have a mild heart condition, and NO ONE was bothered.Hell, I even had five full sips of wine for my Birthday dinner (carefully chosen times so I could really savour the flavour.Don't panic, I've heard it for both Caffeine and wine, but there's no need to live like a nun for the next nine months! It makes me mildly sad, but I view it as the responsible choice for me. What would you do if baby was affected? I'm on mobil and don't have the links handy for it being TOTALLY OKAY to drink, so maybe someone else on here can help me out? Rum and cokes were also my go-to therapy after a miserable day at work.
;) (all the while sniffing everyones port glasses... )The only studies that show a heightened risk of miscarriage did so for a high caffine intake (1200mg a day, which is about five tall brewed coffees from starbucks) - and even those are isolated studies which have proved unrepeatable. Moreover, I'm about 10 or 11 weeks, so I've been pregnant for a while without knowing.
I would drink a glass with dinner most nights prior to baby. I read some horrible things about chicory. It's 40ish weeks- I can go without. If you drank several cups a day every day, then there might be a concern, but you probably barely got any in that quarter cup. I also figured one glass of wine wouldn't do anything except make me want another and I didn't want to get comfortable with that idea/feeling.So I'm a huge beer/some wine drinker normally, but chose not to drink. I freaked out and called my OB. I know there is minimal risk in moderation and I've heard that there are some benefits to drinking red wine. I used to have 1 small glass of wine every Saturday when pregnant with my dd, not been bothered this time but did have a pint of lager tops at arctic monkeys show! But it goes without saying, I have a definite urge to have a sip of something alcoholic every now and then.I made the choice to completely abstain while pregnant. I have a sip of my boyfriend's beer if he gets a good one, but I haven't had anything more than a small sip. I've not been drunk over the last few months, but I've definitely consumed alcohol every day. I am terrified of fetal alcohol syndrome and have chosen not to drink any alcohol whatsoever, but I am curious how many of you do? Alcoholism - Did You Drink During Pregnancy, And Everything was fine with baby - Hey. I won't drink throughout this pregnancy, I won't drink while breastfeeding, and I'll most likely be ready for baby #2 after #1 stops breastfeeding. While there is lots of anecdotal evidence to indicate that moderate amounts are probably fine, for me, I just don't see a reason to risk it. I would have been utterly and totally delighted if it wasn't for the fact that I'm now terrified that I've done irreperable damage through alcohol. It turns out you can definitely drink while breastfeeding and there have been tons of misinformed people spreading the myths about drinking. I'm not worried about drinking a glass here and there at all. The jury is still out on whether caffine causes miscarriage at Don't believe all the scaremongering targeted at pregnant women. Too interested in the TV show I had drank 3 sips of vodka very quickly then realising what I had drank started to panic. drank … The punch that was made for the party, someone decided to spike it with some liquor. Why, I might go mad and have a WHOLE TABLESPOON of brandy butter at Christmas! And quite a lot, too. It's 40ish weeks- I can go without.I absolutely respect anyone's choice to completely abstain while pregnant. I was sitting with mum and my hub, we all had our glasses on the table as we were eating.
I've so far been abstaining as well. A jack and coke has been calling my name for the last 7 months.Ha. I never drank at all with my first pregnancy. Completely went cold turkey the moment I found out I was pregnant, zero regrets. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts I am an alcoholic and I'm 31 weeks pregnant with my 2nd child. My sister went to get some of the punch, and filled a plastic cup half full, then drank it all in one gulp. ACOG and the CDC both say that there is no safe level of alcohol use during pregnancy. Watch for any unusual symptoms, but it's seriously unlikely that any damage was done. Accidentally drank Chicory coffee while pregnant I accidentally drank coffee that is a chicory blend today (probably had about 1/4 cup before I noticed). Has anyone heard of this? Help I accidentally drank alcohol!! That would scare me too so I totally understand where you are coming from but not to worry! Faithreynolds. my sister is 34 weeks pregnant, and she drank some alcohol on 4th of july. Although, as a new mom, not sure how much I'll want to partakeI was a huge drinker before getting pregnant - not a wine person, but hard liquor, specifically whiskey. It's much better for them to cover their asses.Me too, also as a moderate to non-drinker it's mostly been a non-issue thus far.I love love love wine. While there is lots of anecdotal evidence to indicate that moderate amounts are probably fine, for me, I just don't see a reason to risk it.
My mom drank beer and champagne occasionally when she was pregnant with me and I am normal. No judgements please, I'm really just curious.I cut it completely. I read online that it can cause miscarriage.
