[quote=Anonymous]OP, I wouldn't be that concerned about you having a drink occasionally if you said you just wanted to have a few sips of wine when you go out with your friends once a month or something. It's not recommended and not something I would do, but I don't think it's a major red flag. What concerns me is that you say you do it because you're high-strung and stressed. That's not a reason to drink -- that sounds like someone "self medicating" with alcohol. If you're stressed to a level you can't handle, then you should go talk to a therapist or your OB and see about anxiety meds. They are safe to use during pregnancy if you use the right ones (safer than alcohol), and they can help you with this feeling. What you're describing sounds like a really unhealthy relationship with alcohol -- both for you and your DH. I would seriously look at whether there is alcoholism involved for both of you.[/quote]
