Alcohol

[Stacey89]

Hi everyone.
I have been TTC from may.
Im not a drinker but were going out tonight and i would like to have a few drinks but feel like i shouldnt because im TTC. I am currently in the two week wait.
Whats your opinions?

I wouldn’t worry about a few drinks in the tww, no alcohol can get to the baby until after implantation has taken place which would be towards the end of the tww and even then it’s unlikely to cause any harm so early on, I would say only go zero alcohol from your positive pregnancy test onwards x

I wouldn't worry about it. I'm sure baby doesn't start getting all its nutrients from you until about 5-6 weeks, so having a few drinks in the TWW shouldn't do any harm.

Drink until is pink
Of course with moderation

Baby gets everything from its yolk sac until 6 weeks so realistically you can drink up until then. Our bodies are good at protecting babies when we might not know about them yet In saying that, don't get blackout drunk in the TWW though because that level of drinking can cause implantation failure.

I think that you will not drink alcohol until you are sure you are pregnant. however, now a few weaker drinks should not be a problem

I second the drink til its pink moto!

As others have said, baby gets everything from the yolk sack until at least 6 weeks. So let your hair down, have a few wines (or what ever your tipple is)

Have fun xxx
