bubbalicious: the place for young parents

people say its ok to have 1 or 2 alcoholic drinks when pregnant but personly i dont see the point when you can potentially harm your babys health

I found out I was pregnant at 23 weeks and had had a few drinks before I knew. Haven't touched a drop since and certainly don't miss it. Makes me laugh when me and my fiancee go out with friends and I see the state my friends get in to. I don't miss alcohol at all.

didnt touch it while i was pregnant, & still don't now she's 8 weeks because I'm breastfeeding :)

I never drank anything through my whole pregnancy but i have a drink sometimes now that i have had the baby.

my daughter is 6 and a half months old now and i havent had a drink yet, it doesnt bother me wen friends come round drinking, im enjoying every second with my princess xx all ppl r different i hav nothing against ppl going out (obviously wen they rnt pregnant) xx

I have to stop going out with my friends to drink at weekends and stuff now. :( I just have to remember the fun of bottles of WKD... In the day... (: xxxx

I used to drink every weekend, now im pregnant i dont drink at all, sept one night i went out before anyone else new i was pregnant and someone bought me a WKD as i didnt want to make a fuss i mixed it with lemonade as i felt guilty :/ ! I think just having one drink now and again is not that bad, even though i dont do it! I dont agree with drinking lots while pregnant!!

when i found out i was pregnant i did not touch a drink again and i'm nearing the end of my pregnancy now but i know that once the pregnancy is over i might start to drink but if i do it will only be a maximum of one a week after a few months because i don't think i will be up for drinking at all

i used to always drink at the weekends but now it has been a year without drink and to be honest when i see sum1 with a drink i hate the smell and sight of it i suppoze it was like a detox phase with me and since that i hate it :)

i never drank before i was pregnant and hav still nener had alcohol :)

I didn't touch any alcohol during my pregnancy and I'm extremely happy I was able to resist :) I was offered a little something and I completely disagreed and wouldn't incase anything happened to my little one. I'm very happy that I didn't and know I can easily resist with any other pregnancies I have!

i never drank while pregnant but i don't like drinking so that was just me

I had the odd glass of wine wen i was pegnant, nothing majour, but i dnt really bother tbh coz i find wen u ave a drink u always fancy another so if i dnt have one at all then i dnt have that feeling, my friends all felt sorry for me coz i went T total NO drink an NO smoking, but i dnt bother me at all really. Im not one of those people who dont know how to have fun unless i am drunk! But now that i have had my son i do have a drink but its prob about once a month not even that an only wen he is at my mums or at my partners mums! x x

i always go out with friends on weekends still just out to a local gig or something to hang out but even if they're drinking i've never been tempted to drink at all! my baby boy is more important, and i felt the same in the pregnancy with my daughter!

I didnt drink during pregnancy..my boyfriend brought me a drink & i just left it..yucccck! Grace, xox

i have an odd glass on a special occasion but wont drink otherwise as it could affect my bby's health

i never touched alcohol while i was pregnant, i onli have a couple of drinks like on a special occasion

I used to drink alot so becoming pregnant helped me in a way!

I couldnt drink when I was pregnant. Occasionally I was offered a drink and I'd accept a small glass, but as soon as I took a sip I'd feel so ill!!! Even after my son was born it took me 18 months till I could actually drink again and even then I couldnt drink when I had him, only if he was at his dads for the weekend. Now Im back to tee-total again (stomach problems) and it really doesnt bother me. I liked drinking before having Ryan but Ive never been able to stand the feeling of being really drunk and since having Ryan I get there alot quicker... still enjoy some awesome night outs and never spend more than £20 (tenner of that on taxi's!) its great :D and no hangover/children combo!!!! xxx

i never really drunk much before i found out i was pregnant and since i found out i was pregnant and i wont touch a glass while i am i wont miss anything .

I havent touched alcohol since i got pregnant and i dont really miss it. i wasnt really a big drinker before i got pregnant and my boyfriend doesnt really drink either, he has drank once since i got pregnant :) x

as soon as i found out i was pregnanti stopped drinking and since i have had my daughter 10 weeks ago i have only had one drink but i didnt enjoy it so i havent had anymore =) xx

i use to drink alot before i got pregnant and to be honest when i found out i automatically stopped drinking when i was pregnant but the odd glass here and there doesnt hurt at all

I've just realised - government guildelines state 2-3 units A DAY!! (Obviously doesn't apply to pregnant/breastfeeding women). That amounts to two bottles of WKD/Smirinoff ice every single night. Surely that can't be good for you?!

i only drank a couple of glasses at the start of my pregnancy but i never knew i was pregnant at the time but i havnt drunk since

i dont think that you should drink anything when your pregnant. the only thing i drank was a little shot glass of champange on new years to bring the new year in and that was it, plus i was too scared and worried to drink anyway!

i hardly ever drink anything.

i dont drink at all

If i drink i stay out and my mum babysits, i dont want to disturb my son at all x

When my mum was pregnant with me, is roughly when she turned into an alcoholic. Unsurprisinly I was born weighing in at 5lbs and 4oz. Luckily no complications. Except.. I'm only 5ft 1 and will be for the rest of my life ha ha. The most I drink a week is one small glass of blue WKD. I don't enjoy getting drunk anyway, I just love the taste of blue WKD :D From seeing what happened to my mum, staying clear of alcohol has always been veeeerry easy xx

my dads partner drank and smoked threw her pregnancy with my baby brother and sister...luckily they were born fine and healthy...but none of my family agreed with hat she was doing... x

i stopped drinking the day i found out but on the other hand one of me best mates who due to give birth soon she still drinkin we had a goo at her anyone got any advis we could give her

i havent drank since but before i knew i did drink some wine and now feel horrible. i would feel dead guilty if i did drink and it harmed the baby in any way

I didn't drink through either of my pregnancies and haven't had a drop since cody was born and don't really want to either. I was never a heavy drinker, would have to odd one here and there but I probably never had more than 20 drinks in the space of a year! I don't like the taste really!! I have heard so many things about young mums drinking whilst pregnant or had baby but i know lots of older mums who drank whilst pregnant!!

I never drank throughout any of my pregnancies and I now very rarely drink. when I do iI don't get 'wasted'. There's no need to get drunk, I can make a good time whilst I'm sober LOL

i didnt drink AT ALL throughout my pregnancy and i dont drink now unles i havent got sienna for the night which is hardy ever

i didnt drink a drop during either of my pregnancies

I didnt drink during my pregnancy..not worth the risk at all

I couldnt drink when I was pregnant, or till Ryan was approx 18 months. Just couldnt. Dont know why!

i didnt drink a drop during pregnancy

Now Im Pregnant I Couldn't Touch A Drink Even Though I Miss It ! I Really Dont Think Its Worth The Risk :) .

i used to enjoy a drink but since getting pregnant i havent had anything. i thought i would miss it but i really havent missed it at all

i stopped drinking the day i found out i was pregnant and on when i treid to have a small glass of wine to toast the new years eve i couldnt drink it because it made me feel sick lol

I used to drink really heavily, it was a bit of a problem! I drank before finding out, and once after finding out (didn't think I was keeping the baby :( ). So glad everything turned out ok!

I haven't had a single drink since being pregnant, had one glass of wine and one RTD before I found out and still feel guilty!

Alcoholism runs in my family REALLY bad. I was an alcoholic... I went to rehab twice before I was even 17... (remember drinking isn't even legal till 21 over here). Luckily I had just got out a month before finding out I was pregnant and I haven't had a drop since finding out although I did relapse once in the time from getting out to finding out I was pregnant. I still haven't touch alcohol now and it isn't allowed near me or Athena at all.

i never drunk as soon as i found out because i reliesed how much i'd drunk on my birthday and my friends birthday the day after mine and cried, so i am know shloer only girl :) no alcohol till after she's out

I found out i was pregnant at 19 weeks and prior to that i had been heavy drinking every weekend. As soon as a i found out i was pregnant i wouldnt touch a drop of anything, not even a glass of wine. I felt so guily!! xx

im still pregnant and i havent had a drop of alcohol since finding out, i found out at 12 weeks, and before i found out i was in town in most weekends, i feel soooo bad but theres not much i can do about it, apart from dot he best for her now. i wont be drinking whilst breastfeeding neither.

i didnt drink at all during both pregnancies, and still do not now.

with my first i was 17 and silly and drank throughout my pregnancy. i was lucky megan was born healthy and perfect. with my 2nd i had a drink once and xpecting again im even more cautious and just have the odd one if im out having a meal which is a rare novelty!!

I went totally off all booze. couldn't stand the taste. ut when I was breastfeeding number 1 to sleep at bedtime i often had a glass of vino. I guess you shouldn't but it was a nice wind down. I think that she probably didn;t get passed down any of the alcohol as it was immediate.

I didn't touch drink during either of my pregnancies. I knew I would never forgive myself if something happened to my baby, even if I only had 1 sip. Yes I worry too much!!
