drinking while pregnant??

I mean I know ur not supposed to drink hard liquor while pregnant, but I heard wine is OK! But what about a wine cooler or two?? Idk I'm really skeptical & I haven't had a drink yet but its weird because that's all I crave is like frozen Margaritas and before I was pregnant I never drank a lot anyway?? What do u guys think?

I'm the total opposite lol, the smell of any kind of alcohol sends me running to throw up :-( but I've also been told that a glass of red wine shouldn't cause any damage.  :-) all in moderation I guess

I wouldn't risk it. Try frozen lemonade and put some salt around the rim of the cup lol. I have never eaten sushi and it seems to be the craving of choice for me this pregnancy. Everytime I pass the sushi bar in the grocery store I want to sample something and I've never eaten it!

An ice cold hefeweizen with a slice of lemon is all I have craved my entire pregnancy.. I personally believe its not right to consume alcohol while pregnant, so I guess my ice cold beer will taste all that much better when I finally get to have one.. Hang in there ladies, we will all make it!

No one is allowed to talk about beer around me lol, I say don't say beer Fu haha but that sounds like a good idea just getting the Margarita mix not the tequila and making a virgin Margarita

Crystal light makes a margaritas one that is decent. Blend up some ice and try it. Can't hurt, it's alcohol free. :)

I do not recommend drinking any alcoholic beverages. If your craving it try to only drink the mix and make it just like a rita.  The mixes you can get with zero alcohol. Alcoholic beverages pose to many threats to your unborn child. I drink margaritas often and miss them during my baths! But would never drink while pregnant. Best of luck hun.
