Think I might need to delete my Facebook account. It's been twice this month I've seen two different pregnant women drinking alcoholic beverages and posting about it. Both are well aware they're pregnant, ones a few weeks behind me and the other is 32 weeks and theyve both posted selfies of them drinking either hard cider or some kind of beer. I just don't understand how you could know the risks and still ignore them for a night of partying. I could never willingly endanger my child like that. And a few weeks ago a girl I knew in highschool lost her baby to severe fetal alcohol syndrome because she didn't want to stop partying. I was never a partier so maybe I just don't get it but you'd think that they'd consider their child's health more important than going out for drinking and partying. I was 20 when I found out I was pregnant with my first, I get being young and wanting to go out and do things and live life but I never once even thought about putting my son at risk to do it. With this one I was at legal drinking age being 23, I stopped drinking when we decided to try for another because I was so scared that even one drink could cause something awful before I even knew I was pregnant. I just don't get it, I'd give up anything for my babies, I don't know why nine months without alcohol is that hard when you know you're doing what's best for your child.

Were the friends in Europe? Cause A beer or A wine with meals is normal over there. Pretty much only America frowns upon if I’ve heard.

@rariszoo, I just know that since I’ve been on these pregnancy groups on Facebook that stretches to other counties it’s way more common than you’d think. Even normal.
I drink to feel a buzz and ONE of anything wont do it. Also I’d hate to be judged.
But you never know they may be of another culture having their one beer. I wouldn’t try to judge too harshly. Germans don’t separate from beer easily. 😂

I understand where your coming from and I agree. I too am not a big drinker but I did drink before I had my son. But that was 2 years before I got pregnant. And now being a mom I just don't feel right drinking. So I if I drink I drink 1 wine cooler in like a 2 or 3 weeks in between. I'm here if you want to talk. 😊

At 32 weeks? Dude you’re almost there can’t you just wait? I don’t understand it, shame on them for posting it on social media.

It's been pretty common for these two to often post about drinking since they've gotten pregnant unfortunately. I don't get it either. There's a warning label on alcoholic beverages about not consuming them while pregnant for a reason. Even if theres no significant research done to see how much is too much I still don't know why you'd risk it when it's clear there are dangers.

@rariszoo, while I’m here feeling guilty for taking Tylenol for pain that i can not take no more. I just hope their babies will turn out alright, because this is not their fault!!!

right? I switched all just coffee to decaf because I feel guilty about the caffiene. Even though I know that you can have a cup of regular coffee a day I just feel so guilty if I do. 🤦

I’m an alcoholic myself but I’ve been sober now for 3 years (my son is over a month now) for some people it’s extremely hard to stay sober even for somebody else’s life.... For me it took a giant amount of family support and rehab for 2 years. Now I would like to think if I became pregnant back then would I would NEVER touch a drink but eh?? I couldn’t tell you, ya know? Now if these woman arent alcoholics then to me there’s really no friggin excuse in the world and now my mentality is there’s no excuse in the world... But I was told the other day in a nice way to kind of not judge other moms (trust me girl once you become one it’s hard NOT to I mean it’s hard not to judge anyone slightly I think we might all be a little guilty of it) so that’s kind of where I’m at now cause my boy has struggled really hard after I stopped producing breast milk and watching your child go through different formulas and keep throwing up a lot/laundry constantly/trying to figure ANYTHING out on your own is sooooo frustrating and then you see other moms do things like that during and after their pregnancy and their child is perfectly healthy (trust me it doesn’t seem fair at all it really pissed me off the other day too) today I arise anew and think to myself this is just God making us stronger... Wow that went on super long haha what I meant to say was I know how you feel and it’s frustrating but just pray for them and their child and block them 🖤💜

So sad. I don’t understand how people have to be so damn selfish.. just wait.. it’s only 9 months 🤷🏼♀️
Sounds like they have a problem & maybe even like the attention. Those poor unborn babies 🙏🙏
