| I have some pregnant friends coming over for dinner in a couple nights and want to offer then a "drink". It's been long enough since I was pregnant that I forget what I enjoyed for something special. Anyone have suggestions for something non-alcoholic but yummy/fun? TIA! |

| I was allowed to have a glass of wine here and there and glass of champagne on New Years Eve. MY OB approved it and didn't see anything wrong with doing so. 1 glass only in moderation. |

| I like sparkling water with a splash of juice (cranapple mango, etc). You can even make it more fun by putting some fruit in and serving in a fancy glass (wine, champagne, crystal). |

This sounds really lame, but I really enjoyed a nice regular Coke when out with friends.

My go-to "drinks" while pregnant were:
1) Sparling water, cranberry juice and a twist of lime. This was especially good when out at a function b/c bars were certain to have the ingrediants. 2) Reed's ginger beer. Kept a case in the fridge - gave me a bottle to hold when DH was having a real beer. Tasty, too. You could also do an "infused" lemonade or limeade - sugar syrup with lavender, rosemary, mint, berries, etc. You could turn it into a wet cocktail for the drinkers with a splash of gin or vodka |

Sparkling water or club soda with cranberry and pineapple. I agree with previous posters that a "wine glass" always made things a little more fun.
When we went to brunch several times, I would have a Virgin Bloody Mary or sparkling water and OJ in a champagne glass. |

Virgin Mary.
I'm a dark beer drinker, and all the fizzy sweet drinks left me unfulfilled. |

I allowed myself to have one diet coke with a lemon (not lime) a week (it went along great with my bag of Sunchips )

Is she a beer drinker? I foud Beck's nonalcoholic pretty close to the real thing. Virgin Mojitos were also yummy.

Giant has those pomegranate italian soda type drinks -- some with lemon, some with blueberry.
I bought some for a party I had recently (lately I've been making pomegranate martinis -- but I think 10 am is about one hour too early to hit the sauce!) and everbody loved it. I'd put that in a martini glass with a lime slice on the glass or something. |
