Should I follow pregnancy food/drink guidelines while TTC?

[AngelofTroy]

Last night I treated myself to a couple of glasses of wine and some soft cheese, and I said to OH 'it might be my last chance this month' and he asked if I should maybe have stopped already?
What's recommended?

No way! Gobble away while you still can my dear! The baby doesn't start feeding off you until week 5-6 when the placenta has developed. I started following guidelines with my first straight after BFP and didn't drink alcohol after O.

I wouldent worry too much about what your eating/drinking till your pregnant. I would just not over do it on the wine , and make sure your getting enough folate or folic acid it helps prevent birth defects .

You can if you want to but I really don't think it makes a difference because millions of people get pregnant all the time without following any guidelines
