Damn messy business so it is...

I'd drink more to get through it...

If you are serious, then do not drink alcohol AT ALL. if trying to become pregnant.
The odd glass of wine perhaps.

Get on the x box instead... it is undemanding... won't answer back... goes on all night...

If it were me, would cut out alcohol totally for the whole duration of pregnancy. Not worth risking that precious developing bundle whilst in womb with a single drop of alcohol. Yet, would not worry until definitely find out you are pregnant. Drink very very little alcohol, sometimes a whole month goes by and not had one glass of anything alcoholic- would find cutting down the caffeine far far harder as adore my cups of tea!!Good luck!

How much you need to drink depends entirely upon how ugly the father to be is

Ha ha! Lots of funny answers here. I'll stop all together when I get pregnant and was really only talking about the odd glass of wine whilst trying. x

well I drink at least a bottle of wine everyday and I managed to get her up the duff. all i need to do now is stop drinking

[sn�gs]

^ no need to stop drinking... just find a use for all those corks...

I think drinking whilst your trying to make a baby will create a bit of a mess, all that jiggling and moving about, you're bound to spill it!

Oh ok...seriously....

If you're not a heavy drinker, and only have the odd glass of wine with meals etc, I see no reason why you need to stop. Afterall, your life pretty much grinds to a halt when baby comes along anyway, so you might as well enjoy it while you can!

Good luck :-)

i have tried selling them on ebay as a treatment for dioreah without the pills. sold none yet thoug. but perseverence is the key right?

I will give you a serious answer now! Carry on drinking until you find out you are pregnant (as long as you are not a complete alcoholic) It will do no harm and could take you ages to conceive anyway. Even when you do find out, apparently the alcohol doesn't go to the baby until at least 6 weeks gone I was told. Definitely the odd glass of wine would do no harm. Its people who drink heavily throughout pregnancy that put their babies at risk. You have nothing to worry about. Have fun trying!! If its possible to and try not to become obsessed like I did, it ruins everything!
