The government doctors advice has changed now it is NO alcohol in pregnancy ane when trying to conceive at all

[zippitippi]

.....

early alcohol can damage the egg and cause miscarriage and facial deformities, later it can cause a spectrum of brain damage and low birth weight

so the new advice is abstinence

this brings this country into line with eg the US

interestingly obstetricians are sticking with 1 to 2 units a week

No I am not an uber mummy because I drink alcohol while I am pregnant. I am SELFISH SELFISH SELFISH. Sadly I remember terms like apgar score because I am a nurse and nurses are a suckers for such terminology.

Or even suckers rather than a suckers

belgianbun - yes I think I might fall into the 91% minority. You in it as well?

omg plummymummy, pmsl at some of your posts - soooooo true

Yes EVIL and SELFISH I wonder why I feel so happy aha, it is because I am selfishly self-absorbed and unable to see the inherent evil in my actions.

Or was it the 0.5% bottle of lager I drank yesterday at my friend's house. Must still be in my bloodstream. Maybe I am tipsy.

I would rather get dh to whip me at bedtime Or would that not be allowed as it would be too pleasurable. Remember - motherhood is a sacrifice not a right.

I am enjoying myself

Mothers like you are an inspiration to me belgian. One day I will shake off my evil selfish ways and follow your example

And I fear I must make a further confession. I drink fizzy drinks Sometimes as much as one a day. Mostly to stave off nausea (I know I should just endure it because motherhood is a sacrifice, but I am weak) but sometimes......yes sometimes.......I even drink a can cos I feel like it Sometimes I fear my only virtue is honestly

honesty Illiterate along with all my other failings Think I'll go and end it all.

Oh no - can't do that because I am with child and that would be selfish.

Goodnight

Sorry - x posts. Yes I am disgusting. I must try harder to be a paragon of virtue, it's just so daunting when there is so much work to be done.
