Conception and alcohol

Another question to knowing mums - as a fortsomething trying for a second child, is it essential to stop alcohol altogether? I have cut right down, but always have a few glasses of wine here and there each week. Does it really make a huge difference? Or is it better to be less stressed and have a few drinks - just not go overboard? Thank you!

Yes i tend to let my hair down and get 'tipsy' for first 2 weeks then moderate for the second half. Enjoy your shiraz gemerama. I decided to risk a couple of glasses of rioja Smile

I asked the doctor this and she said TTC is potentially a long journey and being stressed out really doesn't help, so she said still drink wine but just don't get smashed! Works for me :)

I have no idea either - all things in moderation are usually OK though I think. I'm also potentially up the duff and debating whether to have a glass of wine tonight!
