klderoos (674.3 days ago) I just saw your poll and thought I`d make a comment even though we are nearly at the end of our 9 months. I have had the occasional drink throughout both my pregnancies, red wine with my first and since this pregnancy was a summer one the odd beer here and there, always with a meal and mostly as a treat. I believe like all things its personal choice, if you don`t feel comfortable you shouldn`t do it. EditDelete
EmmaReed84 (843 days ago) This is a difficult topic because some mums who DID drink while pregnant may feel that they are going to be bombarded with `preachers`. In my opinion there are far worse things to take then the odd glass of wine. For instance DRUGS and CIGARGETTES! I had perhaps two or three glasses of wine diluted with lemonade during my whole pregnancy. I am not a massive drinker anyway. Mothers have been having babies long before scientists discovered all that they have. I fully understand people who say what is the point it is only 9 months, but on the other hand how many babies have been born with some major defect or condition because the otherwise `healthy` mother had one or two glasses of wine. This is subject goes down the same line as smoking, some people do it some people despise it, but what can you do about it? I love my children more than I can even express and will do everything in my power to protect them, but unfornately I am a mere human being and therefore am not perfect. EditDelete

hopefully3 (843.1 days ago) My opinion... i would never do it and i doubt any doctor would tell you its ok to do. Why not just wait 9 months? It to Me seems selfish to drink alcohol because you want to when you have a baby inside of you that you are putting at risk. i am suprised by how many women actually do it.. But to each his own! Hun you obviously have doubts and are not feeling good about it so why do it? EditDelete
jinx-marcell (843.4 days ago) When I found out I was pregnant a lot was changing in my life. I made a lot of very significant changes but I did continue to have an occasional glass of wine. If you feel guilty, drink a glass of water with it to help dillute it EditDelete
