so am i terrible or what?
So DH and I only JUST started TTC a couple days ago and I went out to dinner and then karaoke with some girlfriends last night and I had a glass of wine. DH wasn't too happy with that. Was that so terrible of me? I don't plan on doing that anymore, but I figured one glass this early on was not a big deal. Now I feel guilty. ALSO, what about coffee??? I have been in the habit of brewing up a cup every morning this summer with my keurig and did the last couple days but went for decaf tea instead today. Should I stay away from coffee all together at this point or is one cup in the AM ok??

Re: so am i terrible or what?
You are fine. You are not even PG yet so no worries. Let DH know that you don't share a blood line with LO until 6 weeks so all is ok. I don't drink coffee but I have heard that it is ok to have one glass of caffeine a day like 200 mg of caffeine.

Re: so am i terrible or what?
Your fine. One glass of wine is not going to hurt and you just began TTCing. To be honest with you I drank a cup of coffee every morning when pregnant with my DS and my OB said it was fine. I couldn't give up my coffee

theres no need to stay away from alcohol or caffeine until you get your bfp - and even then the baby doesnt share your blood line until 6 weeks

I plan on drinking alcohol and coffee until BFP, and even then I'm concerned about giving up the coffee.

This is good to know.... I drink coffee every morning and didn't know how I would give it up... LOL, as I am sitting here, I was contemplating having a cup, but now I am going to get one.

Re: so am i terrible or what?
When we started TTC, I gave up coffee and soda because I was concerned about caffeine. The first few months, I stayed away from alcohol during 2WW as well. Over time, I learned 1) what you eat/consume does not affect baby until you share blood and 2) you have no idea how long this process will take.
We are in our 12th month, imagine not drinking for no reason, for a year?!?! I've already wasted a year anticipating 2 weeks from where I am in every cycle - that's enough!

Re: so am i terrible or what?
A day after DH and I went out to dinner and had a little too much sangria I found out I was pg with my first. Everything was fine with me and the baby. They don't share your blood supply for a couple of weeks in the beginning anyway.
I started staying away from caffeine once I knew I was pregnant.
