Question

Is it ok to have a drink?


Its my friends wedding tomorrow and obviously theres going to be lots of bubbly around .... now since finding out i was PG i havent touched a drop of drink as im trying to avoid it completely for at least the first tri.

What im wondering is if it will be ok to have one glass of bubbly or do you think i should just try to stick to avoiding it all together?

One glass wont hurt will it? Eeeek i dont know

There are different stories about drinking alcohol... some say don't drink it atall... and some say I think 2 units are ok... it all depends on your beliefs... my friend said his wife drank vodka all through her pregnancy and smoked... and they have a 12 year old girl... but Vodka is a bit much I think

If it was me I would probably have half a glass

If you REALLY need it then one glass probably won't hurt. I wouldn't risk it if I was you. I don't let people smoke around me either anymore.

Im sure one glass for the toast is not going to do any harm !!
But it is totally your choice

Have fun at the wedding

I had 1 glass of red wine last month and a white wine spritzer last weekend and i've been fine. You'll probably find that you'll be totally sozzled on just the one drink, i was!!! I'm gonna have 1 drink a month and i dont really see any harm in that at all. But it is completely up to you. Have fun!!!

I had a small glass of wine on the last day of our holiday last week and because I hadnt drank in 6 months, it went straight to my head and I felt drunk!

Although Ive not drank through my pregnancy, personally I think one glass of wine here and there should be fine

Have fun at the wedding!

I had a glass last weekend and one the weekend before that and will continue to do so!!!

I have read that you canot get drunk but 1 or 2 units up to 2 times per week is ok. If you feel you are getting "sozzled" put it down, otherwise, enjoy!!

To be fair if i cant have a few glasses I may as well not have any, plus the bride is 23 weeks pregnant too so she wont be drinking!
