Just seen the apple bite Smirnoff advert and being 35 weeks tomorrow I've been alcohol free since day one of knowing but thanks to the tv I could murder an ice cold vodka and coke! Along with pate, and a baileys Grin

That is all!

I really fancy a gin and tonic with lots of ice..

SoonToBeSix · 15/02/2014 23:27

I really want pâté and I didn't have it very often before I was pregnant.

K8eee · 15/02/2014 23:32

I haven't really fancied any alcohol until I saw that on tv. I'm one of those 'if I can't have it I can easily go without' but would help me drift off to sleep too Grin

I seriously want a glass of rose wine. There's half a bottle of dp's sitting in the fridge and I so badly wanted a glass earlier on. It just looked so inviting and I suppose I could have had a small glass seen as I'm 38 weeks but I've been alcohol free since I found out I was pg so a part of me would feel really guilty as I've only got (fingers crossed) two weeks to go!

Little bean you haven't got long! 4 weeks tops if little one doesn't appear on time! Just think you can celebrate with a bottle if you wanted to once baby bean is here Smile

The only thing even close to a satisfying Friday night beverage has been a Koppaberg non-alcholic pear cider with loads of ice.

Still needs a vodka in it though.

I could murder one of those right now!!!!!!!

I badly want oysters. I'm dreaming of them Hmm

MauriceMinor · 16/02/2014 00:23

Just have a drink. One won't do any harm. Especially at your stage of pregnancy.

mameulah · 16/02/2014 00:31

Ice cold tonic water in a wine glass is a good substitute!

A very wise lady pointed me in the direction of Fosters Radler. Sort of a pre-mixed cloudy lemonade shandy. It's 2%, 0.6 units per bottle and really hits the spot if you like Smirnoff Ice. And the best thing is, because they're so light, you can have more than 1 and still be within the maximum 2-3 unit limit. And they do taste alcoholic.

I really wanted a Corona this week with a nice lime in it. Ooh... still 16 weeks to go but I can't wait!!

SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 16/02/2014 05:28

Just have a drink! it won't kill either of you!

Aoifebelle · 16/02/2014 08:25

My oh just bought me a load of alcohol free bavarias. They are really hitting the spot for me. Ice cold in a nice bath. Does me.

sarahquilt · 16/02/2014 08:30

just have a cold beer or glass of white wine. it won't do any harm.

theborrower · 16/02/2014 08:37

They do alcohol free Koppaberg?? I'm so looking for that next time I'm at the supermarket.

I felt like this yesterday, think it was more just a really refreshing cold drink that I needed.

livingzuid · 16/02/2014 08:38

I have hg so it's a no go. Sadly.

MummyPig24 · 16/02/2014 08:52

I had a glass of champagne last weekend at an afternoon tea and it was lush.

I never really drank before, not much opportunity/reason/money with two kids already. So I haven't felt like I missed it but the champagne was really lovely!

MistletoeBUTNOwine · 16/02/2014 08:53

Just have one!! A glass of wine now will NOT give your baby FAS for goodness sake.

Bb14 · 16/02/2014 08:56

Glad to see so many sensible ladies accepting the odd drink towards the end of the pregnancy is fine. As I know I'm only having one a week I've been splashing out on decent wine!

LePetitPont · 16/02/2014 10:23

Another vote for the 0% Bavarias - we got the white beers, tastes a lot like Erdinger - a real treat!

Looking forward to post 12 weeks and can have the odd small glass of wine. Or champagne - like your style, MummyPig24!

HotCrossPun · 16/02/2014 10:32

36+5 here and I had a delicious glass of ice cold Rose last night. Twas delish.

squizita · 16/02/2014 10:37

0% Erdinger or Bavaria (superior to Becks), and Cidona (Tescos or Onells pubs sell it) for a cider taste.

Now if someone can replicate a fake runny fried egg ...

squizita · 16/02/2014 10:40

...as others have mentioned later on the odd glass is ok. I'm 'high risk' 1st trimester andanyway the smell of proper wine/spirits make me gag at the mo.

greentshirt · 16/02/2014 10:58

I would have had one as well, theres no other pleasures in pregnancy, if one drink is going to hit the spot go for it!

I have one drink maybe once a week, sometimes two sometimes not at all. I didnt think I would but at about 18 weeks I finally broke! My SIL has even given up a cup of tea, its going to be a very long 9 months for her!
