Just wondering, as we went out for a sunday roast this weekend, and I had a pint of lager shandy (it was a really hot day and it was lovely out in the pub garden)
I have generally been having a shandy or a white wine spritzer almost every weekend since I found out I was pregnant, and do not ssee the harm in it myself,
I did however get a lot of disgusted stares from various women sitting near us.
i am very proud that i stopped smoking the day I took the test, and though it has been hell i have not succumbed since, even though dp is still smoking as normal so the temptation is always there
I do not see the problem in treating myself to an occasional drink, and don't believe I should be wrapped up in cotton wool for the whole 9 months.
what are your thoughts?

I didn't drink during my pregnancies but I wouldn't have thought that having a couple every now and then would have been too bad.
Theres always a big hoo-haa about alcohol but pregnant women (and everyone else) eat and drink loads of aspartame (the sweetner) which is soooo bad for you and the baby, but no one ever mentions this. Big companies making big money...

Sorry, OT, but what is a shandy?

Expat: half lemonade (7up), half lager
