nausea cured by a glass of wine

[hermykne]

now i know there will those that disapprove but on christmas day when i had a glass at lunch my nausea/day sickness dissappeared! had another with dinner on monday and it stopped that evening, last night i was pretty rotten after the whole day of it and it stopped upon half a glass?
so any whizzos out there know whats in wine that did it and how to extract it and made a drink thats not really allowed!

mentioned it to a friend who said her friend had a glass every day in her pregnancy and has a content baby, sleeps well etc, and no shes not alcholic or even close to it,she just likes her evening glass with dinner!

I didn't drink with first two pregnancies but had the occasional glass of red wine with ds3 and he is and has always been fine.

Am not a doctor, but I drank red wine when the urge took me (in moderation etc etc) and nothing wrong with either of my pregnancies or kids - not saying that people who do have things go wrong can put it down to wine - oh dear this is becoming a minefield already.

But IME a little of what you fancy does you good and in other cultures wine is not seen as the devil's work and is actively encouraged (in moderation etc etc)

Red grape juice may have a similar effect

Am following you around the boards today Suzy . I think most things in moderation are ok. Listen to your body telling you what it needs. Like Suzy says, a little bit of what you fancy...imho.

Wine consistently makes me relaxed and happy this pregnancy for a little while, and then I throw it up, after all. Definitely doesn't cure nausea for me, but very glad if it does for you!

I found a nice glass of red didn't half cheer me up from being pregnant; I did have one most nights, I will now admit. Oh, and my daughters are both quite quite lovely, even according to people who aren't related to them.

I read somewhere that all the studies on alcohol in pregnancy were on alcoholics who had been hospitalised through pregnancy. Someone else may no of one, but I have seen no study that shows adverse effects from moderate drinking.

Problem for me is that dp is a wine bore and I simply can't appreciate it properly while pregnant so I (usually) stick to pop and juice. All those e numbers are probably worse than wine!

someone else may know of a study, obviously.

I'm going to be a huge party-pooper here and say that a lot of studies seem to find a statistically significant linear link between drinking even very small amounts of alcohol in pregnancy and declining IQ scores....ie, for every drop you touch they reckon a small detrimental affect will occur. But otherwise, SenoraP is right, Fetal Alcohol Syndrome is associated specifically with heavy 3rd trimester drinking, not the daily glass of red.

I still had some alcohol in pregnancy, myself, though. Pregnancy is so hard, I can't get through denying myself every pleasure.

Here in NZ they tell you that even one glass in pregnancy can cause FAS ...
I drank a bit (the odd glass) when pg with DS (in the UK) and have had the odd sip this time but to be honest it made my morning sickness worse. In the latter stages of this pregnancy I have tried to have a social drink but one sip just burns my oesophagus (sp?) ... heartburn queen here!
In fact ... over the holidays there has been one thing that has gone down smoothly (but only had one glass on Christmas eve and one on Christmas day and one last night) ... Champagne daaarlings ... but only REAL Champers schweeties - not Cava or anything ...
