Should I be off or on the bottle?

Filed under: Uncategorized — by MrsTosh @ 11:01 am

Today is my last day in the office before going on maternity leave so I now have time to look at news websites in the morning.

Throughout my pregnancy I have abstained from drinking, this approach appears to comply with popular advice on avoiding alcohol while pregnant.  

It now appears, I should have been drinking as it is good for boys.  However, while it may be good for three year old boys, it may be bad for 5 year old boys.  My confusion on the right thing to do is obviously influenced by pregnancy but this does leave me baffled.

The one thing I am sure of  is that everyone has an opinion on what is good/bad for you in relation to pregnancy, child birth and caring for a baby and that everyone wants to force their views on you.

Off now for a Vodka and Red Bull.
