Re: Can I have ONE glass of sangria?
personally, I wouldn't. From the moment I got my bfp in both pregnancies I didn't even take a sip in the first tri. In my first pregnancy, I didn't take a sip the entire pregnancy. In my second, at about 20 weeks, I took a sip of FH's wine on vacation about once every other night on vacation. but literally a sip and that has been it.

Re: Can I have ONE glass of sangria?
Honestly, I don't think I'd have a drink until I was 36 weeks...but that's just me, I'm paranoid  I'm sure its fine!

Re: Can I have ONE glass of sangria?
I wouldn't, but I subscribe to the no alcohol during pregnancy philosophy. The sangria has other liquor in it which would make me even less likely to have it.
However, we all make our own choices and I'm sure I've made a bunch that other's wouldn't agree with.

Re: Can I have ONE glass of sangria?
I would ask what it's made with.
I wouldn't drink MY OWN sangria b/c it packs a punch.
but some restaurants don't marinate their fruits and just stick to wine and juice.
since you've been there already, you probably know if it's been fortified...you can tell in the taste.
it's a very personal choice, what to put in your body and potentially subject your child to.
one glass of sangria is not going to cause fetal alcohol syndrome. one glass of sangria will probably not effect the baby at all. but it's your comfort level...and no one elses. if you think you would blame yourself or the glass of sangria for anything being "wrong" with the baby, then abstain. if you think you could separate the too in the knowlege that in this incredible thing called the creation of life there are just so many variables that can happen, then have the glass.

Re: Can I have ONE glass of sangria?
i voted yes - it is one glass and you don't drink everyday. My BF's DH is from Ireland and his mother always tells us that the Dr. used to suggest that they have a Guiness for breakfast each day! She used to roll her eyes when my BF refused to even cook with red wine! Again, I agree with all of the previous posters - it is what makes you feel comfortable.

Re: Can I have ONE glass of sangria?
Personally - no way. I don't drink at all while pregnant. It's not worth the risk to me.

wow! i am so surprised at all the no answers.
i had a 1/2 glass of wine when i was 8 weeks. IMO, it's so little, it won't affect the baby. but not everyone feels that way. it depends on what YOU are comfortable with.
i would not drink more than once or twice during the entire first tri, though. once i hit the 2nd tri, i would say i have one drink every 2-3 weeks.
ETA: okay i re-read everyone's responses, and i see that the No's are because of the liquor in the sangria. IMO there is SO much ice in a glass of Sangria that even though there is liquor it's like one glass of wine. that's JMO though.
I had 1 glass when I was about 10 weeks. Throughout my pregnancy I had a glass of wine once a week after the 1st trimester. My babies are perfect

Re: Can I have ONE glass of sangria?
Nope... not during the first tri. Sorry - it is a small price to pay for a beautiful, healthy baby

Re: Can I have ONE glass of sangria?
Sangria also has brandy in it and it's kind of a lot of alcohol. I wouldn't in the first trimester.

Re: Can I have ONE glass of sangria?
I didn't have a sip until my 2nd tri (but I also had a mc so was extremely cautious of everything). However, my doc from day 1 told me no more than 1-2 units per week (I live in Europe, they do things different here).
It's totally up to you. If you feel comfortable having a glass then go for it, you will be fine if it's only one. Get a glass and sip on it and make dh finish it if you dont want to!
Now I have a sip here and there but to be honest I don't even like having a glass - it goes straight to my head which I don't like while I'm pg AND it gives me awful heartburn!!!
