Alcohol?

So, we allll know it's New Years Eve, i'm not a big drinker,never was...but I do enjoy tropical mojitos from time to time.(before pregnancy) well, I wanted just ONE for New Years...could that affect my babies at all? If so then I can forget that Idea. Not even worth it, just wanted to know.

I've heard a glass of wine a couple of times throughout your pregnancy is ok, but other than that nothing. I've taken a few sips(by this I mean literally just a taste) of wine coolers and wine a few times, but never anything with liquor in it.

There are lots of virgin drinks you can order or make at home that are yummy. For my hubby and my 4th anniversary I was 7 months pregnant and the resturant we went to mixed me a virgin daquri.

I would wait, I know it's tempting but our lil one is important. I used to drink alcohol every night for my depression so I know how tempting it is to want a drink. My family & hubby going to drink tonight & I just keep myself occupied

If your asking this question answer is don't do it. I would never risk my baby's life just so I can have a drink. Always best to wait.

I would wait. My sister has Fetal Alcohol Syndrome from a drink our mom had at a birthday party. Fetal alcohol syndrome ruined my sisters life. I remember when she was 10 she was picked on so bad. Our rooms were divided by one wall and one night she finally had enough. She was bashing herself into the wall and scratching at it screaming for God to kill her. At 10yrs old. She was violent, mean, hateful,  and her face and body STILL look childlike and underdeveloped. Shes 21 now. You really want an opinion if one 20min drinking pleasure for yourself is worth the risk to your baby? My opinion is no.
