Of course - the smoky atmosphere is the only thing that stopped me in this country and you won't have that to worry about.

Jackstini · 12/03/2006 12:36

Absolutely - you go for it. I have been out a number of times in non smoking areas up to about 36 weeks PG. It is no-one's decision but yours. Have fun

Course it is!

rummum · 12/03/2006 13:08

yes have a good time... but don't dance on the tables... Grin

Yes, why on earth not? I'm going out with girlfriends next week for cocktails (non alcoholic one for me).

cece · 12/03/2006 13:19

YES GO while you still can .....Grin

Prufrock · 12/03/2006 13:39

Why on earth not? I went out to a bar the night before both my c-sections! And I even treated myself to a glass of champagne!

cyan · 12/03/2006 14:24

definately!!

Caligula · 12/03/2006 14:25

It's only socially unacceptable among rednecks and busybodies.

Go!

jellyjelly · 12/03/2006 17:21

I went out when pregnant and the amount of dirty looks i got and i wasnt drinking or smoking, i say go for it and i would do it next time.

paolosgirl · 12/03/2006 17:22

As long as you're not downing the pints! Go and have a lovely time Smile

I lived in a pub through both my pregnancies so didn't have much choice. Got fed up with orange juice though!

Enjoy yourself Smile

was always out, watched rugby world cup final week before my due date, friends all told me if i went into labour during the game then i would have to keep legs crossed as no one would be taking me to hospital! funniest moment was when i got my bum pinched and the blokes face when i turned round with my huge bump! priceless Grin

alexsmum · 12/03/2006 21:03

god absolutely yes! go for it!
i remember being in the pub at 38 weeks pregnant and having to explain to someone that my 'pint' was of kaliber shandy!

nulnulcat · 12/03/2006 21:21

and everyone moves out of your way when you try to get through a crowded pub and you get to jump the queue in the toilets!!

Blu · 12/03/2006 21:32

You can have ONE drink...maybe two!

Tommy · 12/03/2006 21:32

went to the pub the night before DS1 was due to be induced - knew it would be the last time for a little while Grin

Tortington · 12/03/2006 21:37

OMG of course! think its a shame you had to ask

tinkerbellchelle · 12/03/2006 21:56

izzybiz · 12/03/2006 22:00
