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!

I have the odd glass of wine and really savour it

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!

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.

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!

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!

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

I find the caffeine harder.

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

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.

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!

Shloer

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

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

I got really into San Pellegrino water :)

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

cider fiend

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

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

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. :)

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

Cranberry juice and ginger ale ormaybe with soda water and lime

Ginger beer and lime, or shandy made with becks blue
