Thank you again, as always!!
If it's not too much trouble, would you be able to point me to where I can find those studies about the riskiest weeks for alcohol? Everything you read on the subject is so all-or-nothing, and there's a lot of fear-mongering. So I'm curious. With my son, I had a couple drinks on a vacation just before I got my positive test (around 18dpo), and then had a handful of half-beers during the second/third trimesters, and of course he's fine.
I completely agree. It's just over the top sometimes, while I understand the philosophy of wanting to avoid anything potentially problematic, I think at some point they drum everything up to such an extent it's hard to know what to even believe any more.
I am awaiting the article that says "Pregnant? Eat only gluten free gruel or your baby will have 17 heads" and then the followup that says "Gluten gruel causes babies to grow 18 heads, says new study".

Hahaha, exactly!
It's not that I'm super attached to alcohol, but I know there will be times I just want a taste of a non-NA beer.
And selfishly...we've got a weekend getaway planned at the end of this month - our first trip in 2.5 years, since the aforementioned vacation that happened right before we discovered I was pregnant with our son - and this one is even to the very same city! And there's a microbrewery there, that ONLY sells their beer in that city (they don't even ship it), and I really, really, really would like to have one there because it's the #1 best beer I've ever had in my life. If this pregnancy sticks, I'll be about 5.5 weeks in. I've been waiting 2.5 years for that beer...would ONE, at that stage of pregnancy, be that big of a risk? That's what I've got to decide.
Do they not sell bottles???
Am I the only person who is dying for a taste of that mystery beer right about now??
Well, since it's just a short weekend trip I'm not checking any luggage, so even if they do I couldn't bring any back.
But...hmm, I just tried to look it up and can't even find a website for the brewery anymore! So I went to the site of the pub I drank it at last time, and it's not on their beer list anymore! Nooooo! Well, maybe I won't have to worry about it after all :sad: ::cries:: #firstworldproblems
AGH!! How weird!
