It increases the risk of miscarriage.

I just found out I’m pregnant. It will be our fifth child, so I’m an old hat at this. I’m not even late yet (4 days til my period, I only tested because I had an old one and my boobs felt weird).

Today is our wedding anniversary. My husband has been particularly busy with work this year, so we’ve been planning to go out and enjoy ourselves a bit.

Would I be a horrible person for having a glass of champagne or two with my husband tonight? Being so incredibly early in the pregnancy when most people don’t even know, I can’t imagine it would be deleterious.

What do you think? Am I monster? 😂

You sure you're stopping at 2? IME people who don't have an issue with alcohol don't think to even ask questions like this. They just abstain.

Did you take the test before the anniversary because you didn't want to drink and now regret it?

People blame imperfect kids on every little thing they did or were made to do.

Pregnant women drank in the 50s. The Autism Explosion was not then.

You're not a 'monster' but you're probably an idiot if you're even considering having one glass, let alone more. Early pregnancy is peak time for FAS issues, namely because many women don't know and continue to drink like non-pregnant people. You know. In fact, you know better...

This is irresponsible, and strongly suggests you have an alcohol use issue. If you need to drink, have an abortion and get your drink on.

Correct answer.

OP: He doesn’t know, but he wouldn’t have an issue with it. We have had 4 kids together and many times when we were at weddings, parties, or galas when I was pregnant (usually before I was showing), he’d offer me some of his wine or champagne since I wasn’t having a glass. I always declined, but he solidly doesn’t think a single drink or two will make that big of a difference.

after 4 pregnancies you should be able to figure this out. **eyeroll**
