Drinking in the 2ww


What do you girls think about drinking in the 2ww? I try not to drink too much - just in case - but still like the odd glass of wine at weekend. However, today has been one hell of a day, I had to go to my friend's husband's funeral, so have got in and decided at 6pm that I am going to have a glass of cider.

The other problem is that it is my sister's Hen weekend next weekend, so hopefully AF won't show, but I'm not due to test till afterwards. When I was pg last time I got BFN until after AF was due.

Need advice as I just don't have a clear head !!!!

Thanks

Sounds like you need a drink.. I'm not much of a drinker either, but I felt the same way last night too. Not that I had a day anything as stressfull as yours... I just felt like having a nice guiness. I struggled with it too and decided against it. I'd hate to have that nagging guilty feeling if I found out later I was BFP. I've decided to wait it out till I get to the end of the cycle, just in case.

Well, as someone who found out i was pg right after New Years i was naturally worried about this as well.

Although drinking is not good for fertility (apparently ) I was told the baby does not get any of your blood until week 5 of pregnancy, so i would say, that if you're not tanking it on a regular basis, go and enjoy yourself!!

Im a great believer in not stopping living completely just because one is ttc as that can be stressful enough on its own

Hi Omi, personally I would say have your drink and enjoy it.
Plenty of people drink when they don't know they are pregnant and go on to have happy and healthy babies. If you were 6 months gone then that's different!

So sorry to hear about your friend - is that the one you mentioned last week when I was going through the same?

Have a drink, hold your hubby and cherish every moment hun xxx

Personally I believe that you can't put your life on hold while TTC. If you want to drink during your TWW I don't think you should feel guilty about it.

I certainly wouldn't drink during the TWW.I like to be cautious and i wouldn't take that risk.I also read that you should avoid alcohol.I don't know how harmful it could be in this case so i'd avoid it to be on the safe side.
