How many of you drank during pregnancy? I just found out my friend didn't test until she was 8 weeks along, just so she wouldn't have to give up alcohol. She was laughing when she said this, and said that she had 3 martinis the night before she finally tested! [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

I drank booze (weak drinks, but still with hard alcohol) a couple of times a week throughout two pregnancies. No ill effects. You need to drink a lot and regularly for it to hurt db. I never got a buzz from the drinks. Always with food, fwiw. [ Reply | More

I think that the main point is not testing for pregnancy just because she couldn't stop drinking. There's a big difference between a glass of wine or two a week and 3 martinis in your first trimester. [ Reply | More
