Just a tiny one.

I don't NEED it. I just want it.

Am 10wks. If I waited 'til after 12wks, that would be better, wouldn't it?

Or you could get some alcohol free wine and pretend its wine Grin

there's none left, i've had it all. sorry. Grin

Personally I'd have one but can't advise you to do that. It's your decision. Alcohol free wine is rank, but have you tried blue becks? Tastes pretty ok fir 0.05% alc.

Congrats btw

Asda do a nice alcohol free Rose, youcant even tell it's got no alcohol in (aside from not getting that nice wine glow) because it tastes just the same.

i would have one too. just a little one.

Creamandcustard · 22/07/2011 21:27

I would also just have one. Like most things, the craving will probably mean the reality is a bit disappointing. But it is obviously only your choice.

Sometimes, I just have a mouthful or two of DH's wine and that's enough most of the time to stop me wanting more.

I've just had a wee one. Did with all 3 of my others too (ds1 didn't realise I was pregs till 10 weeks and had drank solidly through that whole time). All mine fine btw.

wompoopigeon · 22/07/2011 21:30

I have about one a week. A small one.
I tend to find I only really want an inch or so, i don't normally feel like glugging much.
Can't tell you what to do, but it's what I did in my last pg (Inc in first trimester) and expect to continue in this one.

Comforting words, thanks folks Grin

I second the vote for Becks Blue.

Or sparkling elderflower in a wine glass (it has to be in a wine glass! Psychological!)

Although, for the sake of honesty I should admit that I'm enjoying a tiny glass of sauvignon blanc tonight (but am 39+5 so a bit desperate!)

lollystix · 22/07/2011 23:28

My friend was booked in for section with breech one. Advice from mw on day before was to have very large glass of wine that nightGrin

RitaMorgan · 22/07/2011 23:29

Beck Blue is pretty decent stuff.

I'd have a little glass too - maybe a spritzer with plenty of soda.
