My husband and I are planning to conceive soon. I was wondering if it's okay to have whisky in the period just before trying to get pregnant, or should we stop completely?
Haha girl, say goodbye to the whisky peg for a while now! Mocktails are going to be your best friends. It is totally worth the sacrifice though, so keep that bottle locked up for now.
Please don't take any risk with alcohol during the preconception or early pregnancy phase. I had some severe complications in my first pregnancy and realized how crucial early care is. Better to consult your doctor and get their clear guidance.
I would highly recommend staying away from alcohol or whisky once you start planning. It's just safer for the baby's early development. Let's keep our bodies healthy and positive for the little one!
Actually, alcohol can affect both fertility and early fetal development even before you get a positive test. My doctor told me that once you stop birth control, it is safest to zero down on alcohol. Better safe than sorry.
Honestly sweetie, once you are trying to conceive or think you might be pregnant, it is best to avoid alcohol completely. A little bit before you knew might be fine, so don't stress too much if it already happened. But stop now!
