wine?

[kendallleblanc]

Currently 37 weeks pregnant.  I am craving a glass of wine. Some people think it's completely fine, even my doctor, has anyone drank a glass of wine during pregnancy?

It's perfectly fine to have a glass of wine every now and then. Preferably red wine because it has antioxidants and is good for the heart.

Okay. Well thanks for the opinion.  And NicoleW09 yeah, me neither. But for some reason I've been craving cold beer and wine lol which is weird because I hate both!

I personally wouldn't risk it, but I'm not really a drinker anyways.

Oh honey I feel ya. Since 25 weeks I've been counting down the weeks til I can drink again :p my baby's dad knows my Scot comes out after a long stretch of sobriety so he said as soon as I'm ready, I can have bottles pumped for the day I drink, some extra for the next day, then I'll be drinking while he stays with the baby, since he's gotten to be drunk anytime he wants the whole 9 months - even when I get mad at him for 2-3 straight days after (;

Go to buy a bottle of welches grape juice or something of that sort that tastes like wine w no alcohol no point in taking a chance !

I've had a small glass before, really only a few mouth fulls but my doctor and everyone else say that is fine every now and then! My sister will sit and have a full beer while she's pregnant too and she's on baby no. 7. So I say go for it, just in moderation :)

[kendallleblanc]

Thank you! I'm going to get some now lmao

I had one the other day! My first glass my whole pregnancy, I was 32 or 33 wks. My sister had one or two when she was pregnant and my nephew is just fine he's completely perfect and very intelligent. There's been many studies that show that women could have up to 8 glasses a week and their babies be fine. I personally think that seems to be a lot but I think one glass every once in a while is perfectly fine. What I did was I drank it with my meal and kept a bottle of water with me as we'll so I could sip water in between sips of wine. It's up to you, use your judgment :)
