Alcohol whilst 6 months

I feel like a terrible mum because I’m 6 months pregnant with my first and I had wine last night. I chased every sip with water and drank water all throughout the night because I became so anxious and full of regret. I feel horrible and down 🙁😢

Don’t feel bad, I had a Prosecco at my MIL with the speech at 34 weeks and then the night before I had my daughter I had some again ( I had a C-section so I knew she was coming) as long as your not going off the rails now and again won’t hurt x

Hey so I also tried to drink a glass of wine while I was pregnant but it also made me feel really regretful and anxious. I ultimately decided to just wait until my daughter was born to avoid those negative feelings. I feel like if it’s bringing you more stress don’t do it. Even though it is considered okay. As far as the one glass you and baby will be okay!

Out of curiosity why did you have the wine if it was making you feel anxious whilst drinking it? I'm sure everything will be fine so don't beat yourself up about it.

Don’t worry about it. I had a glass here and there on special occasions ( I had 3 weddings and my own honeymoon that year) and my midwife reassured me it was absolutely fine. Obviously just don’t do it too often and stick to a small glass. If it makes you anxious though, I wouldn’t bother. I actually found some lovely alcohol free gin and beer which is great if you’re looking for alternatives. Oh and I kea do an AF mulled wine which was awesome!
