Nicole Kidman pregnant and drinking at the Oscars

**Folieadeux** · February 27th, 2008, 02:45 AM

February 26, 2008 -- OSCARS. Boozing backstage during the Oscarcast is a no-no. But if you're pregnant Nicole Kidman it's a yes- yes. She wanted white wine. She got it. . . .

OSCAR WHISPERED RIGHT INTO MY EAR - New York Post

- I guess there is still debate over how safe drinking during pregnancy is. I have my own views on the issue. Though I do have to say, for a woman who has had a miscarriage before, I don't think this was a particularly smart idea.

Does she want to possibly have another miscarriage?

**MrsMarsters** · February 27th, 2008, 02:55 AM

Well..I'd be really scared to even drink if I was her...mostly since she has had a difficult time getting pregnant..and I thought it was okay toward the second trimester? How far along is she???

Unless she downed a bottle she's probably fine having
a few sips. I guess caffeine is the big thing now to
also avoid while pregnant.

Here we go again. Another "if you eat or drink anything except bread and water during pregnancy your baby will DIE". Before the days of safe drinking water women drank alcohol (beer, wine) because that's all there was. And yet, here we all are many generations later fit, healthy and breeding like rabbits. If you don't want to drink when you are pregnant, fine. If you like an occasional glass of wine that's fine too. It's funny that the women who most strongly support a woman's right to choose about abortion are usually the same women who huff and puff about drinking the occasional glass of wine during pregnancy. That's a right to choose issue too IMO and nowhere near as fatal to the baby as abortion.

^^ Haha, well they seem to think so... Hell I'd like a damn drink right now, since it's been mentioned!

**sprynkles** · February 27th, 2008, 03:20 AM

I'm quite sure my martini swigging mom had many many many drinks
whilst preggers with me, not to mention the smoking too.
Yikes. I'll admit to having a glass of wine with dinner while
pregnant. I'd be more worried about the botox flowing through
her veins.

exactly!
i'm so sick of the puritanical pregnancy inquisition brigade. i'm guessing these bitches have way too much free time on their hands and no life so they spend their times going after women that *shock* don't view pregnancy as some kind of disease and actually go about their normal lives, including drinking the odd glass of wine.
so far people are much more relaxed about these things in europe but i guess it's only a matter of time before the paranoid hysteria crosses the atlantic.

I am absolutely certain the reason women have been programmed to believe that drinking at any time during pregnancy will kill their baby comes from doctors who are terrified of being sued if they don't warn neurotic expectant mothers about everything that might have a million to one chance of having an adverse effect. Personally, I think using a mobile phone with all that deadly radiation is probably more risky. But as I say, it's a personal choice - just don't start lecturing other women who choose otherwise.

**msdeb** · February 27th, 2008, 05:26 AM

i saw this story on perez, so i call BS.

**NHKMM** · February 27th, 2008, 05:28 AM

There's nothing wrong with drinking a little during pregnancy. Totally agree with you guys.

**cmmdee** · February 27th, 2008, 08:57 AM

I thought wine was ok during a pregnancy, in small amounts? I have never been pregnant though so I don't know.
What I do know is that her lips are fucked up beyond recognition

**LynnieD** · February 27th, 2008, 09:00 AM

I don't give a shit if she's pregnant and having a glass of wine, what I care about is that her hubby CANNOT have a glass of wine. Wonder what she would do if HE wanted one?????
She'd freak.

actually, my doctor was the one who told me that I could have a drink occasionally when I was pregnant. He also told me that I could take *gasp* cold medicine!! Best doctor ever - never blew any smoke up my ass.
