Lol. No. I didn't ask him to because that's dumb. And he knew enough to let me be in charge of my own body because I would have fucking punched him in his ballsack if he tried to get "militant" with me about what I ate or drank.

*Apparently I feel strongly about this.
Same here. He was with me at the OB when she said I could have a glass of wine and he accepted that. My brother was being a dick about me taking sips of cider while we were in Normandy and I was like, wtf this kid isn't even yours!
He doesn't drink that much to begin with, but now that I'm not joining him in the daily glass of wine at dinner or beer, he hasn't had one either unless we're with friends or at a restaurant.
Yes. My OB said I should stay away from alcohol during my first tri but feel free to have a glass or two a week after.
We left the appointment and dh was horrified at the thought of a pregnant woman drinking. I said I sacrifice a lot being pregnant and you nothing. He immediately said I am not drinking at all then. He didn't have even one glass during either pregnancy.
It was a show for him. Everyone commented how nice he was and his head grew three sizes each time it was mentioned.

No. He offered to, but I didn't really care. He has cut back just because I'm not drinking - when not pregnant I'll have a glass of wine pretty regularly and he'd often join in. Now he'll get a beer if we go out to dinner, after he mows the lawn or at a social engagement.
No, and he did enjoy the designated driver bit. He drank less and he didn't get into any of the really good stuff in the wine stash. TBH, the first half of the pregnancy, I was so sick alcohol wasn't on my radar.
When DH had some issues with heart failure, his cardiologist took him off drinking for almost 2 years. I cut my drinking back but didn't quit. I mean, I had a husband with heart failure- I needed to drink.

Lol nope. He made noises about doing so, but then it was Thanksgiving, and then it was our birthdays, and then it was Christmas, and then it was Craft Beer Fest, and by that time I was pretty much like, "Dude, it's cool."
After 1st tri, I had a glass of wine because I had some really tough shit happen, and it didn't even taste good, so after that I didn't care much anymore. I figured if he had to deal with my hormones on a second-hand basis, he probably deserved a beer or two anyhow, lol.
My husband rarely drinks. He maybe has 2-3 beers in a year, so he did not give it up. I think he may have had a beer at a picnic while I was pregnant, but I barely noticed. I would not expect him to abstain because of me being pregnant. I am not a big drinker, either.
Mine did. Well, he finished the ciders that were in the fridge and then that was it. We may have a drink or two a month, so it wasn't a huge deal to him.
Not really but since we usually drink together he naturally cut way back. The worst was when we went to Italy when I was about 10/11 weeks pregnant with J. We are both wine drinkers and he was having some of the best wine of his life (his words) at all of these tiny hole in the wall restaurants that made their own wine and I was sipping pellegrino.
I wish my OB would tell me a drink a week was okay. lol. He's pretty laid back so I have a feeling he'd be fine with it, but the practice is very anti-drinking so I don't dare ask. I brought up the occasional drink with my former OB there, and she basically scolded me for even asking.
Mine is the same way, so I couldn't even bring my H in to have her tell him it was okay for me to have an occasional drink. Like, any time I have an ultrasound that he wants to attend followed by an OB appt, I make him leave for the OB appt so that he can't hear her tell me "no drinking."
He did my first pregnancy. I wanted to have an occasional glass of wine after first tri, but he felt really strongly that I abstain, so he offered to give up alcohol as well.
This pregnancy I told him he didn't have to. He's not a big drinker though and has only had a couple drinks.

no, I really didn't care if he had a few drinks. This is wierd but during my first pregnancy, I always wanted to kiss him after he drank a beer, which is ewww. Lol! definitely a pregnancy thing
Ha, apparently my DH is the only one who is all "Good god, have a drink if you want one so bad, it's no big deal" when he catches me staring longingly at whatever delicious beer he is consuming.
Ha, no. I didn't want him to, though. I made him get the beers I wanted to drink so that I could have a taste, even though they weren't his favorite.
When i was pregnant with #1 I craved Stella artois. Baaad. Which is weird because it's a fine beer that I like, but nothing special. I would "gently" encourage him to order it when we were out. I distinctly remember one time about a million weeks in when I was all super fat and crabby as hell and he ordered some nasty ass IPA instead. I was sooo pissed. I'm not sure I even talked to him during dinner. I was pleasant, lol
