If you usually drink alcohol at social events, it may seem hard to say no. Instead, ask for soda, fruit juice, or water. Or order a mixed drink made without alcohol. Beers and wines that are alcohol-free are also available. Don't celebrate anything with alcohol until after the baby is born.
Many women find that they have no desire to drink while they are pregnant.
The taste of alcohol no longer appeals to them. Some women ask for the support of family, friends or health professionals to help them stop drinking during their pregnancies. If you have any questions about drinking during pregnancy and the effects it can have, please ask your healthcare provider. All rights reserved.
