Being pregnant means a lot of really wonderful things, but it also means giving up some vices for the next nine months. When the stress of the day hits all at once, and you’re just dying for a drink, it’s normal to feel disappointed that a nice glass of wine is not currently in your future. But that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun with some baby-safe mocktails that will have you convinced for a second that you’re on a sunny beach somewhere expensive.
