Before I saw that faint pink line on the pregnancy test, I was pretty grumpy about the idea of having to give up alcohol while I was pregnant. I love a glass of wine, I get invited to a lot of social events through work, and I am usually the first person to say yes when someone suggests grabbing a drink on the weekend. Two days after finding out I was pregnant, I hosted a hen party. Then came the wedding, immediately followed by a holiday at an all-inclusive hotel where the booze was free already paid for. But thanks to that "morning" sickness, at no point during that time did I want a drink. Just the idea of it made the nausea worse.
Once I'd given up booze for a month or so, it became second nature, even when the nausea stopped. I've given up alcohol a few times before, but the big difference this time was that it wasn't a choice, it was necessity.
