Anyone else?

So today is my birthday and I'm turning 21. I had planned on getting drunk and doing all that crazy stuff that every 21 year old plans for their birthday but I can't anymore. I'm grateful to have my baby and life just seems so different my mentality has completely changed. Has anyone else turned 21 while there pregnant did you drink after you gave birth lol.?

I'm 16 weeks now and I just turned 21 in December. I was never a drinker anyways thougI so I actually didnt care that I couldn't drink. I'm just so grateful for this gift. But if you want your bday celebration, don't worry, there will be time to celebrate after the baby is born!

I'll be 35 weeks on my 21 birthday ! But I live in Canada and could drink legally at 18 so maybe it's different for me, I was already past the mentality of wanting to go party and drink. I just wanted to start a family. So I'm just having a nice dinner and my boyfriend and I are getting our maternity pictures that day as my little treat (:

Yes I was about 6 weeks pregnant on my 21st back in December.  I was a little bummed but really didn't mind I'm not that big of a drinker anyways. I just love wine..  so instead of drinking I went to this awesome buffet and got my fat on instead of my drink on lol.  I do plan on having a bottle of wine to myself when I feel comfortable and have the chance a few months after I give birth. Lol.

My birthday is April 11th and I'm due April 25th so I'll be extremely pregnant my 21st birthday.  After my son is born once I'm ready for someone to watch him I'll probably go out with some friends for a few drinks to celebrate but other then that it's not a huge deal to me anymore. I had a hugeee plan for my 21st but guess my priorities have changed lol
