will a glass of champagne do any harm???

[ronniemummy]

It is my 3rd wedding anniversary today and up until now have not had any alcohol. But I have had a real cravings for cold glass of bubbling champagne. Do you think it is risky or will it be ok? What should I do?? Could always dilute it with orange juice and have a bucks fizz!

I am 21 weeks pregnant

get it down yer neck girl

I'd drink it. Definitely. And enjoy.

do it!

It's morning you lush

Happy anniversary, enjoy the drink.

Yes of course you can! If you haven't had a drink for some time though it will probably go straight to your head, so maybe bucks fizz is a good idea. That way you can have 2 glasses!

Happy anniversary!

I had the odd glass of champagne throughout my pregnancy. Whenever going out and everyone else was drinking, that is what I ordered - just one glass, possibly every 3-4 weeks. I also had the odd glass of wine too, one glass a week maybe.

of course you can. but be careful not to bump into any Americans. I'm given to understand they don't approve. (sweeping generliaisation..)

I totally agree. Champagne isn't really drink!

I've been having one glass of champagne about once every two weeks, but shouldn't have thought even one glass a day would really affect anything, small glass mind you. Also had a policy of having one small beer (a half) on Saturday nights, but it just tastes so gross now!

I would definitiely drink it.

I read somewhere that in France they recommend that pregnant women drink a glass of champagne a day (though this might have been about 10 years ago!). Anyway - I would, and enjoy it!

Have two. Or three, dammit, you're 'allowed' that number of units a week. Me, I drank a glass of wine most evenings in both pregnancies. I find pregnancy loathesome enough without giving up booze.

I would have one too,
Ive really been restricting my alcohol but after 12 weeks, Ive had the odd glass of wine with a meal.
