CHAMPAGNE

ok my boyfriend just took me out for dinner, i am 27 weeks pregnant and for the first time in my pregnancy i have drunk alcohol, i decided to have a glass of champagne which kept getting topped up, i reckon i had 3 glasses throughout the meal, (which was really healthy, vegetables and grilled meats) i guess i just want to hear other peoples opinions on drinking during pregnancy. i havent done it before and i dont intend to drink again till i have finished breastfeeding. it was just a special occasion and i didnt think i would drink more than 1 glass. is 3 glasses of champagne really bad??

I dont think that there is a set amount that causes damage. The french stil drink wine when they are pregnant (actually I dont know that first hand, only from a movie so maybe the do or dont) I had a glass of changpagne when I was pregnant with my son at 34 weeks at a wedding. And I had a couple sips of beer here and there with this last pregnancy. I would think that the later on in the pregnancy the less likey it is to cause a serious problem. Next time make sure the waiter knows not to top you off. I can imagine 3 glass of champagne would have made me a lil more than tipsy

There is no proof that one or ten drinks will harm the baby I guess it is different with everyone. I had a glass of wine at a wedding a couple of weeks ago.
If you get really worried talk to your midwife or doctor and see what he/she has to say

I am kind of paranoid so I never drink while pregnnat because they don't know what really causes harm. In some cases the mother hardly drank and that kind of scares me so no drinking for me till baby is completely weaned from the breast. Not to mention if I did drink my BF would be there taking it away! LOL

I wouldn't worry about what you drank, especially when you're planning not to do any more of it. I still have occasional sips of a drink when my husband wants me to taste it.

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
