I have gone off drinking. The smell of it makes me ill. I have found a reall nice alchol free rose wine in tesco. It tastes really fruity. Its really nice.

I was going to treat myself at Christmas (on Christmas Day and NYE) but never did on Christmas Day as i was full of food and then on NYE went out for a meal with the in-laws and i ordered a small glass of white wine and when it arrived, i took one look at it and thought 'i really dont want this'. So i had three small sips and FIL downed it in one for me!!
I was sat there siping this wine and at the same time i could feel my baby kicking and i just thought why am i drinking this - i;m not even enjoying the taste! So i stuck to sparkling water all night.
Everyones different i suppose - my sister had the odd glass or two of wine during her pregnancy and it didnt bother her and she has had 3 healthy boys.
I stopped smoking as well. I think taking care of your baby should be your first priority. This one is special to me cause it is the first after years and tears and pain and trying. I wouldnt do anything to hurt him/her.
I've had the odd glass with soda or made a glass last over a long time every week or so but often haven't fancied it. I've not gone too overboard with giving up too much stuff, just being sensible. Your body does process a lot of what you take in before its gets to the baby.
To me it isn't xmas unless I've had Asti and think the baby agreed!!! x x x

My birthday is this month and I will be having a blow out then but that is it.
When I had my son I didn't find out I was pregnant till I was 10 weeks gone and I had been out every Thursday, friday and Saturday pissed out of my face and he was fine. No problems and was 6lb 12oz.
I have to say I'd feel pretty irresponsible if I had more than the occasional one though.
I dont think it hurts to have 1, but I think it's down to each individuals choice!!:\)

My friend on the other hand smokes heavily and drinks heavily. I try to advise her but its really not my business. She has about 6 glasses of wine 3 to 4 times a week and 20 cigs a day. i am really really worried about her but what can i do???? she has 2 healthy kids but there is always a first time. I worry all the time about her.
