20 days sober - craving wine
20 days sober & 28 weeks pregnant today.
Craving wine so bad..
In the back of my mind I keep thinking about the stupid studies I’ve read online about how a glass of wine a day while pregnant won’t harm baby..
But I’m never able to have just one glass.. that’s my problem.
Struggling to stay strong today!!!

Hi - Congratulations on 20 days sober. That's superb!
28 weeks of a growing baby is very miraculous. I don't know what body parts are supposed to be growing at 28 weeks, but for sure, a growing fetus doesn't need alcohol in its tiny, undeveloped body.
You did great posting first. To me, that means you don't want to drink. A crave is just a feeling and it's not going to hurt you. It will pass. Do anything but drink.
As I said, you're doing a fantastic job. Keep going.

try to imagine pouring that drink into the baby bottle......whatever goes past your mouth, goes to the baby.....you two are sharing a body. baby doesn't get to choose what s/he eats or drinks.
if you think cravings are bad, wait til you go into labor.
