Champagne at 27 weeks

14 replies

Lifeislikeaboxofchocolats · 25/11/2013 14:23

I had 2 glasses of champagne at a friends wedding at the weekend. I am 27 weeks. I reasoned that as I hadn't had any alcohol in this pregnancy and that it is a special occasion and I am almost 3rd tri, it is ok. But now (although I know it's done) I'm feeling a bit concerned.

Thanks

I'm sure you'll be fine so please don't worry. The NHS guidelines err on the side of caution as they seem to work from the basis that not all women know how much a unit of alcohol is etc. But 2 glasses of champagne in 9 months is nothing to stress about, so I hope you enjoyed them!

Don't spend another moment thinking about it, it's such a small amount and a one off, hope you enjoyed it and the wedding!

Don't worry about it. It was very French if you Wink

oh god i miss alcohol, am 19 weeks and not had a drop

tbh i am not sure what the guidelines are, but am sure 2 glasses of champagne will be fine - its my best friends wedding in a few weeks and i am going to have a glass then deffo.

champagne glasses are teeny, you deserved to have 2 :) really don't worry about it, i thoroughly enjoyed a glass of red last night. before i went on holiday my midwife told me to enjoy a glass of wine every other night on holidays if i wanted to. just steer clear of the long island ice teas x

I had about 5 glasses of champagne at a wedding when I was 32 weeks! I didn't think to worry, after all what will a one off do? Baby obviously fine!! (She's 17 months now. V healthy. )

Thank you ladies - very supportive - I did enjoy it!

I'm 34 weeks and just had a lovely glass of red :)

I will be having champagne at Christmas. I will be about 32 weeks by then. Just mentioned this to my mum today and she said I'd better have some, which was nice! (She only means one or two glasses btw)

The first thing i'll be doing when i'm 13 weeks is having a glass of wine!! I'll probably have 1 or 2 a month, all my friends and family have and all have perfect children. Just make sure you dont drink on an empty stomach and drink plenty of water with it. This is the crucial thing, dilute the alcohol and wee it out!

I will be 37 weeks pregnant on Christmas Day and decided I am going to have a glass of red wine with the roast dinner! I have not had anything this whole pregnancy and doubt one glass will do any harm. Don't worry about it at all!

Try to eat with alcohol and enjoy one or two drinks from time to time after 12 wks. I have been a bit more relaxed about alcohol in this pregnancy than my last, and have been a lot happier and less stressed because of it, which is surely a v good thing!
