Or baylies! like a brandy coffee or a small baylies with ice. Is that over my 3 units a week allowance? Do you think it is safe to have it? I have had wine through my pregnancy, always sticking to my recommended allowance but spirits are alot stronger than wine and i don’t know if i should. only 1 and not to get drunk or even have because i want an alcoholic drink, my mouth is watering, i really want it as a craving lol.
Keep your rude opinions to your self. My midwife has told me i am allowed to have a glass of wine then i will listen to her not you. If i wanted your opinion on that i would have asked for it. It is on the news here in the U.K how a glass of wine now and then is totaly safe! So dont b rude!
Blue eyes do you know how pathectic you sound? I do NOT drink veryday, nor once a wekk. I have 1 glass of wine with lemonade when i go out for a meal maybe every 3 weeks to a month. My child is very healthy so shut up!

no alcohol is safe during pregnancy, i can’t believe you have drank throughout yours. you are hurting your baby in ways you do not even know.

jesus, you sound like an alcoholic to me.
I love to drink but i didn’t touch the stuff once when i was pregnant.
Trust me, i know what cravings are all about. I wanted Chinese every day when i was pregnant but i resisted because of all the excess sodium.
just like you need to resist.
My suggestion is to buy a non-alcoholic syrup that tastes similar to what you are looking for.
good luck

Its normal to crave it when you are pregnant, but why chance it? Some ladies crave lisol and bleach while pregnant, and they know not to drink it! Hell i craved dirt with my son, but never ate the dirt, for obvious reasons lol. Id say no to that, your babies health is alot more important than a craving, and since u are taking our chances with the wine, i wouldnt add any more to it.. stick to the occasional wine only. GL

why would you drink during your pregnancy???

Don’t do it. If you want the brandy flavor you could cook with it, at least then all the alcohol would burn off.
Here is a link to brandy sauce recipes. http://food.yahoo.com/search?tp=recipe&p=brandy%2Bsauce
Good Luck

lol- maybe just smell it
i dont know, i have had wine through my pregnancy, not very often but on special occasions so i see nothing wrong with it. maybe stick to wine and save the baileys until after the birth to celebrate! it'll be worth the wait!
god some people are so stpuid or just plain ignorant! people ask questions on here for advice- NOT TO BE JUDGED. good for you if you didnt drink or think its bad or whatever, but dont lay your ignorant opinions on other people when they didnt ask for it. dont answer questions if you arent gonna answer properly.

first off pregnancy and drinking should NEVER go together.
do you know how much damage you could give to your unborn child when you drink, even just a glass a day.
and if you really want it as a craving, then your not craving it, i think you want drink it too much, and are going through a withdraw.
i won’t even have thought of drinking alcohol during my pregnancy, you should think of the child not your wants and cravings.
if i was you i wouldn’t smell the stuff cause, i would be afraid that you would drink it.

midwife or not, you should think of the baby not yourself, and what do you expect, everyone to just tell you go a head and drink a glass a night, your baby will be ok, many you need help not a baby.

I would talk to your MW. How far along are you? If you are in the last month, I would think a small (small, small) glass of baileys would be okay.
And yes, here in America we are told to not drink one DROP of alcohol if pregnant. They go a little overboard because they are afraid of being sued. I have read articles that women who drink at least 3 drinks on a regular basis are the ones that end up with children with problems. Not women who have a glass of wine a week!
