What do you drink when you are pregnant?

[Psammead]

We are TTC number 2.

I am finding the notion of abandoning my nightly glass of red quite depressing. What do you substitute wine with?

Last time round I only wanted to drink water and milk, but it would be nice to have a nice evening drink to look forward to!

[TeuchterInTheCity]

I have the odd glass of wine and really savour it

[Missgiraffe1]

Usually soda and blackcurrent, which is a nice change from just diluting juice.
But, I have recently discovered - thanks to my Best friend - Innocent apple juice (the cloudy stuff) and tonic. It tastes like it has gin in it! Amazing!

[WhenDoISleep]

Currently pg with DC2 I have been having soda with orange (either fresh or high juice) and plenty of ice or lime, soda and plenty of ice - had to mostly give them up for the moment due to heartburn though.

[KittieCat]

I treated myself to the odd glass of wine and also drank Becks Blue (no alcohol), got me through the summertime need for a shandy!

[GlaikitFizzog]

I would get some nice juice (found beside the nice ham ) Strawberry and Kiwi was my fav. I would some times mix it with soda water if i felt extravagant. Or a starwberry milkshake!

[practicallyimperfect]

At the moment lime cordial and lemonade. But I go totally off wine when pregnant.

I find the caffeine harder.

[Missgiraffe1]

Oh, and also recently discovered Kopparberg Pear cider, alcohol free. Tastes just like the real thing (if you like cider)

[Psammead]

Ooh, some great ideas! Thanks.

I love tonic water with ice and a slice! It tastes almost exactly the same as gin and tonic, and I've been recommended it to get rid of my horrible leg cramps!

The ice and a slice makes it feel like a 'proper' drink too.

[Chelly71]

Becks blue, small White wine with lots of sparkling water, real juice with lots of sparkling water, ginger beer and red bush tea. Good luck TTC ing!

[Kayano]

Shloer

Or asda own version - they do a nice apple and raspberry one

[SharkBite]

Elderflower & fizzy water, refreshing and delicious or Bavaria 0% beer - tastes less chemically than cobra/becks alcohol free ones IMO or low alcohol cider

[Teladi]

I got really into San Pellegrino water :)

[Kayano]

Who said kopparberg alcohol free tasted the same needs new
Taste buds

cider fiend

[soandsosmum]

I had wine twice a week as even Nhs guidelines are ok with that. Did it at home mind you, to avoid the evil stares

[Psammead]

Oh I fully intend to have the odd glass, especially after the first trimester!

[Ciske]

Chocolate milk.

And I treat myself to one glass of wine a month. I've learned to make it last a very, very long time now. :)

[TeuchterInTheCity]

Current NHS guidelines are zero alcohol so yes I drink in private

[Panzee]

Lemonade. Bottles and bottles of it. It was all I wanted. Full sugar too - couldn't stand the diet stuff.

[politico]

The bottlegreen concentrated juices mixed with sparkling water are good - I found the ginger and lemongrass one made my morning sickness less unbearable.

I've tried Bavarian and Cobra non-alcoholic beer. Both are dreadful.

[Garliccheesechips]

Shloer I think it's called- the grape juice.

[melliebobs]

Rootbeer or appletiser. The proper one not the crap supermarket one!

[DaydreamDolly]

Diet coke caffeine free straight from the can, and strong tea.
I also have a glass or two of red wine on a saturday night.

[tentative123]

Cranberry juice and ginger ale ormaybe with soda water and lime

[highheelsandequations]

Ginger beer and lime, or shandy made with becks blue
