Drinking

Are you guys ok with your partner having drinks here and there during the pregnancy? I feel like in the beginning of pregnancy I didn’t mind but now I feel otherwise and it’s bothering me so much. He says I’m acting selfish but I feel like I sacrifice more

Doesn’t bother me as long as he’s not drinking too much. He enjoys it so I wouldn’t want to stop him from that. We’ve been making some fun mocktails for me so I don’t really feel like I’m missing out at all. Maybe that’s something you could do!

No , doesn’t bother me. He tries to abstain but I tell him to enjoy for the both of us lol. Everyone is different I imagine!

I think this depends on your relationship with alcohol. With my first born, we didn’t have any sort of agreement and my husband continued to drink in moderation like normal. I remember feeling uncomfortable about it at the time but it wasn’t because I was missing out necessarily. It was more that I wanted him to be on the journey with me of experiencing the emotional growth that can come along with giving up booze. Since becoming parents, we have re-evaluated our relationship to alcohol and our habits around it. Pregnant now with our second and I asked my husband if he would take a break from booze this time and it’s been amazing for both of us. I wish we would have done the same with our first. But we obviously needed that experience to learn and grow! 🤷🏼‍♀️

I mean how much is he drinking ? It doesn’t bother me that mine drinks but I just ask if he can limit it to just the weekends because I want us to save money and go back to not drinking during the week. But he would never call me selfish, he’s very understanding of adapting and changing for the better. You’re not being selfish. Your feelings and emotions are valid.

I can't stand how he smells if he drinks beer, whiskey is fine though 😂

Doesn’t bother me. He doesn’t drink much but when we go out, he orders a drink and he will have a few at home here and there.

My first pregnancy- my hubby abstained the entire time without me even saying anything. He actually went 365 days. This time around, he isn’t not drinking but he isn’t drinking either. I don’t think he’s had one. BUT tbh, I wouldn’t want him to be drunk around me. Selfish? Yup, I’ll admit it too lol a drink here and there would be fine but I’d be annoyed if he got drunk while I was prego

It doesn’t bother me as long as it’s not getting drunk. But we’ve also been doing a lot of mock tails together which is fun.

I don’t care. My husband doesn’t drink too much. I even bought him whiskey smoking kit for Christmas. I think as long as not excessive who cares. I knew what I was getting into.

My fiance and I were life of the party so this transition has been kinda tough but we’re both on the same page, he still drinks here and there but we stay in most weekends than we are out and he’s okay with that, in a way I feel he wants to be home more now than I do 😅 So I guess if you guys are willing to compromise!

Doesn’t bother me. I don’t drink ever to begin with tho so that’s prob why I could care less

Sorry but I think it’s crazy to not let your partner drink while you’re pregnant. That’s a nine month dd he’s missing out on

Avatar

Nope I do wish I could have some with him though lol! I’ve been making mocktails or just making fun apps for me to enjoy if he’s home drinking! Why should both of us suffer for 10 months 😂
