I know not everyone agree's with that but that's my opinion on it.

Also not all doctors or health professional's say a little bit of alcohol does no harm, some actually say



That was quoted from a childrens health website.

Thats not how it works though? The baby gets a tiny percentage of what you have. And it tends to be all of the good stuff too. Which is why you are advised to eat well soyou have some good left for you too..as in a way the baby is like a parasite (sounds awful that mind) and it takes away all of the nutrients, and leaves you with this rubbish

This is apparently how I got anemia..as I didnt know I should have been eating extra iron..and everything I was having went to the baby
