What do yall think about it? Not a shot of tequila or anything but a pregnant woman having A beer or A glass of wine.. Just wanna hear what yall think:)  

Sure if you want to risk having a special child. 

I think a SMALL glass of wine once in a while is okay.... Hence small glass and once in a while. 

I think pregnant women should not drink at all. No one knows what effects even a small amount of alcohol will do to your baby. It's only 9 months. If you are so selfish you can't make it through that, you probably don't need to be a parent. 

I'm special.. But my mom fell down the stairs when she was 9 months along so that should explain something:-D I was just wondering how yall thought about it. 

Seriously, if you're too selfish to give up things like a drink, you're probably not ready to be a parent. 

Btw, that was a general statement since there's no *proof* you're talking about yourself :) 

Dom, no offense taken, I was thinking of having a few sips of wine today at my baby shower. It's not a big deal (hell it was easy to stop drinking and smoking) I just wanted to see:) 

.........if you're gonna drink, at least do it in private where you wont have 60 other eyes looking at you like "wtf". 

Lol no Dom, definitely not even for sure having a glass.. Was just asking others opinions on the subject. I actually saw a girl out last night who was pregnant and had a beer and wondered what everyone else thought on the subject. 

no no and more no! dont drink, at all! hope you have a good shower:) 

your answer I agree with what this doctor says. I didn't touch alcohol while i was pregnant. 

I agree that it's selfish. Having a few sips of wine isn't worth the possible consequences. If you want to have the taste or feel of drinking, buy some sparkling champagne. They sell it at the commissary. That's what I did when I was pregnant and we wanted to have a romantic dinner. 

YES BECAUSE CHAMPAGNE ISN'T BOOZE AT ALL. I think she's talking about the sparkling grape juice. 

Just say no! I was never a big drinker to begin with so it wasn't hard for me to stop drinking at all. I've gone much longer than 9 months without drinking before. If I were you, I wouldn't drink anything. Just get the sparkling grape juice. 

my friend drakn 1 glass of wine her entire pregnancy and her baby was fine. not saying I condone it but.. eh whatever you choose. 

LOL How strange is it that these people are less quick to judge then Erika and Amanda were. 

wtf are you talking about? 

Caitlin, Don't do it. You'll just end up stressing about the what-if's afterwards. I know from experience-I was in Italy when I found out I was pregnant (we were on vacation) and I had a few drinks about a week before I found out. I stressed the entire pregnancy that I had caused harm (I didn't)-and it wasn't even something that I intentionally did. That one glass isn't worth the stress it'll cause you. 

wtf are you talking about? Just something on facebook.

That is a very good point. 

It wasn't hard for me either. Except, we went to Chilis at the the beginning of my pregnancy and my husband ordered a margarita. It smelled sooo good....so I just licked the salt instead LOL. Then my husband had to take some medicine for 9 months, and he couldn't drink with it, so it worked out great. LOL 

I think she's talking about the sparkling grape juice. Thanks Bryn. That's what I was talking about. Clearly I was telling her to drink the stuff with no alcohol.

If you are so selfish you can't make it through that, you probably don't need to be a parent. I agree. I drank and smoke before I found out I was pregnant and stopped the second I started having symptoms. I turned 21 when I was pregnant and it was hard not to drink, but I felt so much better for not doing it :) 

i tend to go with the surgeon general on this subject. no amount of alcohol is safe. i heard about this book when i was thinking about getting pregnant last time, it gives you recipes for cocktails without the alcohol in them, i think it's called mommy mocktails or something like that. if you feel like you want to enjoy something like that without the risk, there you go. hell, go order a virgin daquiri at chili's. i can't taste the difference anyway. 

go order a virgin daquiri at chili's What a waste of money. ;-) 

Wow, today was like CRAZY! Honestly I was so busy chatting and eating and all that, I only drank water. Very eventful day, nonetheless.
