[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My wonderful doctor encouraged me to relax with a glass of wine in the evenings during the third trimester. Americans are very silly on this subject, generally. [/quote] I had Braxton Hicks contractions with my 2DC that were bothersome and triggered my anxiety about precipitous labor (experienced with first baby!) and he advised sipping beer (maybe because I told him I am German and the only alcohol I imbibed pre pregnancy was beer). Apparently the alcohol would relax me yes but could ease the BH contractions whereas active labor contractions would continue. Same obstetrician approved of me drinking beer postpartum and nursing because of the hops helping milk production. I’m a small person and talking about drinking 1/2 can of beer. First pregnancy was unexpected and I attended a weeklong work conference and enjoyed a cocktail in the evenings. Reported this to my ob who was unconcerned. [/quote]
