Also, I feel the need to point out here..when I was actually IN LABOUR..the hospital pumped me full of codeine, told me to go home and have a bath and a glass of wine (while on tablets!) and relax.

So no, I dont think it can do as much harm as some think. Or the hospital wouldn't have advised that. I don't drink wine anyway unless I want to get pissed, so I didnt do it mind.

Some of you would think I was an absolute monster when I was pregnant, I never gave up smoking completely, though I did cut down to about 2 a day..midwife said this was ok as smoking so little is pretty much the same as not smoking. I drank blue wkd (it was one of my cravings in the early days too..which was awkward ) a few times a week..though only one or two small bottles too.
