Should you buy someone beer if you are pregnant?

This doesn’t mean the alcohol is for you? You are a grown woman. You can buy your husband alcohol.

Seriously you find this an issue? Lol
That’s like you asking him to pick up tampons and not wanting to because they may think it’s fishy…and why if you buy beer is it anyone’s business? Your both adults and you don’t need to explain to anyone why you bought it or for who you got it for.

I’ve done it for mine :woman_shrugging:

I totally understand the not wanting to, because clearly you’re not supposed to drink alcohol while pregnant so they’ll probably assume that it’s for someone else. But… if you have a self check out, wear a big shirt so they can’t tell :laughing: in reality though, they’re not supposed to ask and you’re not obligated to tell them. Even if it was for you, they can judge all they want :v:t3:

I would feel uncomfortable as well.

Question does he jump and buy your cravings when asked if he does than buy him his beer but if he doesn’t and drinks a lot or makes you do it often id quit and start reconsidering what this relationship is especially if he does drink alot but if he only asked this once go ahead and just get it Bc he’s in for a long road ahead of being your errand boy towards the end of your pregnancy and after babies born

My 21st birthday I was 9 months pregnant (ended up having her 9 days later) I went in and bought my husband a beer

I went to the liquor store for my husband while pregnant. Very visibly pregnant. Could see dude kicking and grooving. :woman_shrugging:

I went to the bars on my husband’s 21rst birthday! I was 3 months pregnant.

I’ve gotten it for my husband while heavily pregnant I knew I wasn’t drinking it so that’s all that matters.

It’s like being a non smoker buying cigarettes… or someone trying to quit buying for someone else; it feels rude to me

Seriously? I’m sorry but we have fire flood and a fn war I don’t think anyone really gives a shit what U buy

Nope not at all but. U know ur truth fuck what they think. Js. If they want it that bad they can get it themselves

but men buying tampons is considered normal ?

Ma’am lol use your voice when you go to the register and tell them if it makes you uncomfortable.

Oh lord. Yes. You can buy a bunch of things without being the one to consume or use them. People stare, people give eyes. They will whether you’re pregnant, not, three heads, or perfectly normal.

Stop caring what others may or may not think. Normal people know that you could be grocery shopping and grabbing it for the person who gave you that belly.

It’s not like you’re at a bar ordering a drink. Calm.

I understand feeling like you shouldn’t be seen buying it while you’re pregnant, my ex would send me to buy drink constantly while I was pregnant and you do get looks and comments. At the same time you know its not for yourself so fuck what anyone thinks, I used to tell rude people that would comment that it was for me and I had a big party planned and would even invite them along. I like to mess with people that way because they go out their way to make me uncomfortable so I do it back but not everyone is like me so each to their own. Fact of the matter is if it makes you uncomfortable simply don’t do it.

Biggest mistake is trying to impress people and not your life (husband) is part of your life. Those people you trying to impress don’t even care at all but im definitely sure your husband does care for both of you and the baby.

I wouldn’t buy alcohol or cigarettes while pregnant. Too many judgemental eyes. Edited to add that no one is obligated to do anything for another adult. If it makes you uncomfortable he should understand. If some other pregnant lady doesnt mind doing it for their husbands, good for them. But you aren’t them and it’s ok to be uncomfortable doing that. Especially since beer isn’t a need, it’s a want.

Uh…yes? He bought me stuff I wanted when I was pregnant. If he asked for beer while I was out, I bought him beer. It didn’t matter if I was a month or nine months. I’m not sure why it would be an issue. You’re not at a bar or chugging the beer in the parking lot.

There is nothing wrong with buying alcohol while your pregnant. It shouldn’t matter what other people think anyways. My dr told me to drink a beer a day when I was pregnant because I kept getting kidney infections and it helped.

I honestly felt so awkward buying my husband beer while pregnant by at the end of the day I know I’m not the one drinking it and I don’t care what others think.

(I also make sure I’m on the phone when I’m buying it and very loudly talk to my husband about what beer he wants and stuff… lol ima. Nervous Nelly)

I bought my husband beer when I was pregnant. I did tell cashier’s that it was for my husband.

Anxiety is a real thing. And a lot don’t seem very understanding of that. It’s completely acceptable to do so, but it also depends on how comfortable with the situation you are put in. If you feel like you won’t get pass the judgment easy mentally, then by all means he can get it hisself. If you feel like you may be judged but you can shrug your shoulders to it, then go ahead and do it. You aren’t overreacting. Your feelings and mental health matters, and something like that may be small to some but can have a big impact on others. And that’s okay :heart:

I get it… when I was pregnant with my first child, on my wedding day/night during the reception we needed more alcohol… being as I was pregnant, I was the only sober adult so I went to the grocery store to buy more alcohol… the looks I got from everybody in the grocery store were horrendous and made me feel really anxious and uncomfortable… in the end the cashier asked if I was the one planning to drink the alcohol, I told them no it was my wedding night and we’d run out of alcohol for the reception, he thought I was lieing and refused to sell to me… I left empty handed, feeling completely unfairly judged and really terrible overall… I cried all the way back to the reception… your thoughts and feelings are valid… and IMHO if you’re pregnant, he shouldn’t be asking you to buy him any sort of alcohol, cigarettes, Marijuana, etc. … best of luck

Girl, I bought my fiance beer while I was pregnant. If anyone assumes it’s for obviously pregnant you, they are showing their crazy and you have the right to put them in their place. How gentle you do that should depend on how rude and judging they are to you. Buy the beer. Life is too short to second guess shopping choices.

If the reason you aren’t doing it is because you think people will judge you, that’s silly. People judge you everyday for other things. You will be judged with even more scrutiny as a mother-might as well start now not caring about the judgement of strangers. If it’s because you don’t support his drinking, then don’t support it. :woman_shrugging:t2:
