When you are growing and creating an unborn human, alcohol has to leave the equation. So what do you do when you want to sit back with a nice drink and relax? That’s where the world of alcohol-free drinks can help you out. The JOMO alcohol-free mum-to-be box is the perfect way to treat yourself or your pregnant friend to the joy of alcohol-free. 

Why Should You Avoid Alcohol When Pregnant?

There is no known safe amount of alcohol to drink when pregnant. That is why it is highly recommended to avoid all alcohol whilst you are pregnant. 

But why is that? Well, because drinking alcohol can lead to long-term harm to your baby. When you drink, the alcohol passes through the placenta and to your baby, which can seriously harm their growth. It can cause higher chances of issues during pregnancy as well as long-term effects when the baby is born. 

So it is better to avoid alcohol as soon as you know you are pregnant. 

Is It Safe to Drink Alcohol-Free Drinks While Pregnant?

So, if you can’t drink alcohol, can you drink alcohol-free drinks? Well, based on all the available evidence, alcohol-free drinks (drinks with under 0.5% ABV) are extremely unlikely to cause any harm to the baby during or after pregnancy. To put it into context, this is the same amount of alcohol found in a very ripe banana. 

Therefore, if the alcohol-free drink is less than 0.5% ABV, it is safe to drink. Most pregnancy-related charities agree with this. Many of these charities even suggest alcohol-free drinks as an excellent replacement for alcoholic beverages while pregnant. 

Why Should You Treat Yourself to Alcohol-Free Drinks When Pregnant?

Treating yourself or your loved one to an alcohol-free gift is the perfect thing to do during pregnancy. And here is why you should treat yourself or someone else to an alcohol-free hamper. 

1. You Are Growing a Literal Human

As a pregnant person, you have every right to treat yourself or be treated. You are growing a human inside of you! That is not an easy job. The healthier and happier you are, the easier the pregnancy will be and the more beneficial it is for your baby. So start with treating yourself well and caring for yourself - it's all for the baby after all! The best way to do that? Treat yourself with love and care, and treat yourself to the things you want. 

2. You Don’t Have to Miss Out

If you usually drink alcohol, you might feel like you are missing out since becoming pregnant. Cocktail nights, dinners with friends and drinks nights might seem duller without alcohol. But they do not need to be. There are now hundreds of alcohol-free drinks, so you can experiment with delicious cocktails, enjoy an alcohol-free sparkling wine over dinner, and an alcohol-free beer in front of the football. You do not need to miss out in any way. 

3. Alcohol-Free Drinks are Delicious

This goes for everyone, not just pregnant people. Alcohol-free drinks are delicious and, there is such a diversity of drinks available. So you can get creative mixing together alcohol-free spirits and artisanal mixers. The only limit is your imagination. And if you want to take it easy, there are delicious ready-to-drink alcohol-free beverages available too. So why miss out on the sophisticated and nuanced flavours that you can find in alcohol-free drinks?

4. Show Your Love and Support 

Pregnancy is a huge deal. So when someone you care about is pregnant, you want to celebrate and show your love and support. A thoughtful gift is a great way to do that. But more often than not the gift ends up being something for the unborn baby. But what about the person carrying the baby? An alcohol-free hamper is an amazing baby shower gift or just a gift to show your loved one that you care for them and support them. 

5. It is a Gift That Keeps on Giving

If you feel even more generous, you don’t have to give just one alcohol-free hamper, you can sign up for a gift subscription. With the gift subscription, the recipient will regularly receive an alcohol-free hamper that is packed to the brim with alcohol-free goodies. This is the gift that keeps on giving. You can even give your loved one an alcohol-free gift box for every single month of their pregnancy. That way you can really show that you care!
