Do any of you still drink alcohol?

Im just curious..
Im dying for an irish coffee.. but I was just wondering if many of you ladies have completely cut alcohol out.. or some still enjoy a glass of wine at night!!

Is there any sort of limit you can have?? x x

I have cut it out completely. Since baby is developing a lot in the first tri I don't want to take any risks. I probably won't drink at all during my whole pregnancy.

i have totally cut out alcohol - not sure what the advice is but reckon its probably safer for the baby

I believe it's 2 units a week. But all the literature I have been given says to completely cut out alcohol. My Mw even asked me not too! I will probably have something small around new year, but don't plan on any more booze being taken. There might be a syrup you can put in coffee that tastes a bit like it??

I totally cut out alcohol but still indulge in tiny bits of caffiene every so often. I always stay well below the daily limit and usually only once or twice a week. I love my london fogs

I can do without it it's fine

But I have heard of women who drink shandys, for example!

Just wondered how common it was for women to have some x x

I've had two small glasses of wine (on seperate occassions) since falling pregnant. The odd drink here or there isn't going to harm the baby, although i did feel very guilty afterwards...

Oh, and they also say don't drink enough to feel drunk!

I have heard a glass of wine on occasion is fine, but personally I am not drinking ANY alcohol. JMO

then for me that means no drinking, one glass of bubbles and i'm happy lol

i'm not a big drinker to begin with and i always said i'd cut out alcohol completely when pregnant.
i just don't know yet how i should cope with sauce made with wine or beer?
they say the alcohol is cooked out and it's just the flavour but i don't know...
