There are many reasons you can give for choosing not to drink, and you don’t have to tell people you’re pregnant until you’re ready. This blog has many great ideas for saying no to alcohol, including: I’m driving, no thanks! No thanks, I just finished one. I’ve had my limit for tonight. No thanks, I’ve got an early start tomorrow. It can be difficult to deal with the questions, disappointment and peer pressure that come with saying no to alcohol, and we know that many women are pressured to drink alcohol, even when they’re pregnant! Having a friend or partner to support you is a big help, and many people say that bringing their own zero-alcohol beer, wine or spirits to parties stops the questions and allows them to blend in. You can also find some great mocktail recipes on the NOFASD website. Remember that it is your body and therefore your choice. Standing by your choices is empowering and is beneficial for your health as well as for healthy conception and pregnancy.
