that too - and experts on raising kids. I always hate advice on mothering mine from women who have no children themselves.

I'm proud to be the exception. Party on Mamas!!!!!

^We can only hope...

I don't care either way if she drinks a little during preggo time. I'm just glad she wasn't the guinea pig who housed Suribot!

Amen!

I could care less what someone does while pregnant, they are the ones that deal with the ramifications if their child is born with issues.

I think it's pretty bold to drink in front of your husband who you know struggles with addiction.

That's the first thing I thought. you'd think alcohol would be a definate no just because of Keith.

Who cares if she's preggers and dabbling with a bit of wine. I doubt it'll do anything. She probably didn't even drink the whole thing.

Quick Nicole wrap yourself in cotton wool and back in the bubble wit ye! No alcohol, no certain cheeses, no caffeine, no fish, too much mercury you know.. what else..? no touching the kitty pan!

It's amazing women have given birth for generations.

no, youre really not supposed to scoop kitty litter when youre pregnant for some reason.

I doubt a glass of wine is a big deal during pregnancy but I also doubt Nicole was drinking. If I were pregnant I mostlikely would not have any drinks.

I know no one will believe me, but caffeine would be illegal if it were just discovered, the FDA would never approve it for mass consumption in a million years.

yeah, but life would suck without morning coffee, alcohol, something to smoke every once in a while, etc...
everything in moderation, kids...

Thanks guys. You saved me a shitload of typing

It's like my doctor said, the medical association can't issue a blanket statement telling women it's OK to drink a glass of wine when you're pregnant because there is always someone out there who will think that means they can down 6 Red Bulls and Vodkas.

Want a cup of coffee or some wine...knock your socks off. Everything will be fine.

**chartreuse** · February 27th, 2008, 12:14 PM

eh, the occassional glass of wine while pg is no biggie.

i want to say that they wouldn't approve it, but the fda can be bought. they'd totally approve it for the right amount of money. but, i do think that caffeine (and sugar/hfcs for that matter) is worse than/as worse as some illegal drugs.
