@@jessicaoutofthecloset there is much joy to be had in spreadsheets! Whenever I make a task-list type one, I always program one of the upper left cells with Wingdings according to how much of the list is complete. 0% - deadface 1-20% - frowny face 20-40% - thumbs down 40-60% - question mark 60-80% - thumbs up 80-99% - happy face 100% - exclamation mark Because it’s not a granular progress bar, you never know when exactly you’ll hit one of the middle milestones. It invokes the same brain mechanisms as video games and is ridiculously motivating. Seeing the question mark tick over to the thumbs up is my favorite - it means I’m officially more than half done!

For all the pregnant people in the comments reading this: It is actually not clear what the safe amount of alcohol in a pregnancy is. A little bit is probably fine, but we do not yet know how much exactly is fine. So it's best to avoid alcoholic drinks all together during pregnancy. Have a great pregnancy and safe delivery :)

[@AnanasAbanaan]

Adding to that: sleep research of unborn babies indicates that the mother drinking alcohol severely impacts the child’s sleep pattern. For the mother the effects are the same as they would be otherwise, but the baby does suffer a negative effect. (source: Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker). How “bad” this is in the long run isn’t really clear. It’s almost more a question of social behavior. The moment a woman is visibly pregnant, there will be a lot of random people who feel they have the right to dictate how she should behave, as if she is reduced to a babymaker and therefore considered public property.

[@kolmkilpkonna]

@@AnanasAbanaan The data is that small amounts are fine. And there are many cultures where it is traditional to drink for example diluted wine with dinner and these cultures do not have in general more unhealthy babies. The only issue is that it is hard to tell where the actual limit is, but small amounts do not have negative effects. It is crazy how we police pregnant people about alcohol (problematic only in large quantities), but do not police them about caffeine which actually has clear demonstrated negative effects starting from minimal consumption.

[@AnanasAbanaan]

@@kolmkilpkonna It is crazy. Especially since we do seem to have a social code that people decide for themselves if they consume alcohol, coffee or animal products, or whatever. But then when you're pregnant, suddenly that all goes out the window.

[@Lilobeetle]

I study nutrition at uni and from what I gather the best option is always no alcohol at all. Not only for pregnant people, also for your overall health. It might be little amounts don‘t do much harm (as far as you can tell) but nothing is always better than something in this case. Recommendations by authorities allow for certain amounts just because it’s so ingrained in our culture(s). Telling someone a little bit is okay probably has a better effect than telling someone to stay off the drink completely.

[@SilverHawk214]

The point is that drinking before you find out your pregnant is no reason to panic. Just stop drinking once you know.
