At what point in your pregnancy were you comfortable drinking a (large) glass of wine?
H and T will be away for a couple of hours Saturday afternoon and I really want to pour some wine and watch a good movie. I am feeling the guilt though.
When I had my first my OB went over the do's/donts at the first appt. She said 'no alcohol. But we will discuss that again when you are in your third tri". We never ended up discussing it and I never brought it up because I really had no interest in drinking, but clearly she was going to give the green light for some alcohol in third Tri.

I had an aversion to alcohol when I was pregnant (I know-Lololol) but I would feel comfortable having a glass of wine at this point. It's not like you're going to a kegger and getting trashed.
I had a couple small glasses of wine starting halfway through my second tri with sofia. I think maybe 1 small glass after 3rd tri with theo. I didn't drink at all when I was pregnant with ilya. I swear I get more and more nervous with every pregnancy.
I drank quite a bit of diet coke during my pregnancy. I mostly abstained from wine but had diet coke. Looking back, that's pretty ridiculous.
Yea.... I have an unhealthy relationship with diet Pepsi. I've been better since pregnant but still at least a few a week.
I had a few a day. That was cutting down for me. At some point my body only wanted juice (I think third tri?) I thought I was being healthy, lol. Dumb.
My clean living totally made up for those first four months.
Yes, it did.
It totally did.
Well, and gestational diabetes, too.

I had the GD as well. I gained a total of 12 pounds during pregnancy and E was 9lbs 3 oz at birth. But I was mega obese so it didn't really count. Whomp whomp

Damn! Just 12 pounds! That's amazing! It totally counts.
My numbers didn't make mathematical sense.
I gained 16 pounds. She weighed 6 pounds. The next day I was 38 pounds lighter than my original pre-pregnancy weight.
First pregnancy I waited until 18 weeks because we were going on a cruise. I had one Corona a day for a week. Then I waited again until third tri and had a half pour of wine once a week.
Second pregnancy I just waited until 20 weeks and had wine a few times a week when I felt like it.

I had a glass here and there.
I would have had one once a week if not for the gestational diabetes.
I'm jealous of miso and lilafowler. I gained 20 pounds total and N weighed 7 pounds 9 ounces. I was only down 3 or 4 when I left the hospital and 2 and a half weeks out am down 10. I think it's going to be more challenging to get down to pre-pregnancy weight this time.
