It would be great arrogance to pretend I didn't know how to do that as well, wouldn't it?

Allan

Allan Report 19 Jun 2021 22:31

You could always Google it

Sharron

Sharron Report 19 Jun 2021 22:18

I don't even know how to do that.

Some of us are able to admit to this.

I don't mind admitting that I had to Google that, Sharron :-D

But Caroline they are not advocating just not drinking when pregnant, that advice is probably acceptable. they are saying don't drink when of child bearing age. I don't think many females are going to accept that.

Maggie, I was lucky, my doctor refused to give me anything for morning sickness saying I had to live with it, it will pass. I have always been thankful for that.

In theory yes they're right you shouldn't drink when you're expecting.....but as already noted nor should men if they want to do their part :-)

As Sylvia said I wonder if it was a man that decided only woman shouldn't drink!

Maybe they should just produce a few leaflets telling us what to do on any subject then we can just ignore them.

I have to admit to drinking stout (I don't lke Guinness) at home.
If me and OH went to the pub, I drank fruit juice and lemonade!

Having said that, the stout was hardly a danger to our daughter, compared to the Debendox I was given to combat morning sickness. :-(

After I had my first child in the Uk I was given a bottle of stout in hospital as was everyone in the ward.

I was surprised to find that everyone received a bottle of stout after having their babies in an Oz hospital too.

I have to say that I did not take mine in either hospital as I don’t like the taste.

You are probably right.

I suffered from ManDiagnosing today. Couldn't get a word in on my return from the hospital GRRR.
