it is strange how, once the pregnancy is obvious, people seem to think they can tell you what to do and that their advise is welcome. mostly i guess they do so in reaction to the idea of "what if they were the pregnant party."
case in point, i still occasionally drink beer or wine. and by occasionally, i do mean like one serving once every two weeks. in the rare instances that i am caught with some alcohol in hand, concerned people broach the subject in various ways, but always with the same summary--"you're pregnant, are you supposed to be drinking?" and my response is inevitably:
"let's put it this way. do you think all the pregnant women in france and italy totally give up alcohol until the baby is born?"
