To have one small glass of red wine at 38 weeks pregnant?

[baby2c]

I’m not a drinker at all but DH gets a bottle of red once or twice a month and tonight I really fancy just a very small glass, I’m a weirdo (according to DH) who likes ice in red wine on the rare occasion I have it. DH is only having one glass just in case I was to go into labour and he had to drive to hospital. So I was thinking of having a tiny amount with some ice and enjoying sipping it whilst watching tv in my pjs however I’m not sure if this is totally out of order or reasonable? Would you? Or did you? I haven’t touched alcohol at all since finding out I am pregnant at 4 weeks.

It can’t have done me much harm!🤣

Third trimester is fine to have 1 or 2 glasses of wine a week

Op drink the bloody wine!!! And enjoy it my love

🙄

Go for it and enjoy!

I’d not have a seconds worry or fret or guilt over a small glass of red wine once during your pregnancy.
The fact that you’re questioning it makes me think you’re the kind of person who would probably not enjoy it fully though because you’d be worried (this is not me being mean or pointing a finger I promise! I’m just not a worrier!). I didn’t drink during my pregnancies once I found out I was expecting as I just never fancied it but had I fancied a glass of wine I’d have had a small one.

I’m a bit bemused at the poster who has likened you drinking a glass of wine to pouring the glass of wine directly into the unborn child’s mouth though 😂😂

That’s ok - because she’s not thinking of doing that.

oh don't be stupid. Baby is well developed. You do realize that this "no alcohol in pregnancy" is a very recent thing? Generations of women had mums who drank socially during pregnancy and turned out very nicely indeed. Obviously it is better we are careful now, but let's keep things in proportion!
Mind you, ice in red wine; eek!

There is really no harm in it. You are allowed to relax and are not just a baby making machine.

No I wouldn’t and I’m pretty lax it’s just as bad as having a fag

This

No you wouldn’t. But as that isn’t what OP is suggesting then theres no problem is there?

I would.
The risk is minimal.
I gave birth at 36 weeks 5 days,. DS was considered full term.

The reason the NHS says there's "no safe limit" is because they can hardly go around experimenting on pregnant women to find out what's safe. So they give a blanket "zero". Emily Poster's book is so great on all these topics and data points

Theres no evidence to show that one glass of wine across a whole pregnancy will cause harm.

Enjoy it! Most women I know have had the odd drink during pregnancy.

Maybe you should ask your GP and midwife and see what they say? I imagine it’ll be a massive fucking NO because you’re pregnant. Just wait a few more weeks. Your baby cannot process the alcohol you are forcing it to consume.

Yes, a basic misunderstanding of physiology there 😂

What ludicrous comment.

It'll be fine 👍

YABU. There is no safe amount of alcohol in pregnancy.

That was a rhetorical question, obviously.

When I was at hospital being induced, the midwives suggested I go to the pub and have a drink as it might relax me

Ice in red wine. OP is a fucking sicko.

I actually think all the Fanta I drank during my pregnancies (massive fizzy orange cravings!) probably did more harm to my DC than the occasional half pint of cider.

Which part of it, pray tell?

When I was pregnant with my firstborn (now 19) the official guidance was ‘one or two units of alcohol once or twice a week’. I used to really enjoy my small glass of red with pizza on a Friday night. It was the one meal of the week that wasn’t super healthy ‘baby first’ and I enjoyed every second of it. Enjoy your wine!
