Christmas is nearly here and I've been celebrating at various functions including my work Christmas do. Luckily my outfit fit ok and didn't make me look as big as the christmas tree but one thing has been severely lacking the year: the bubbles. I have not touched alcohol this pregnancy and the G&T cravings I experienced with Little E have yet to make an appearance but over the past few days I have found myself accepting a glass (just one glass) of red wine at these events and enjoying it immensely. This is a shock as I have never drunk red wine in my life!
When pregnant with Little E the NHS advice on drinking when pregnant was to limit it to a couple of units a week. This has since changed to zero alcohol and I was surprised to see the bottle of red wine on our table had (to my horror) a little picture of a pregnant woman with a cross through it! When did she appear? I casually turned her to face the wall so her judgmental stare could not shame me but I did finish my glass of wine...
I wonder if I am now converted to red wine or if I will revert back to G&T once baby arrives!
