It would be great arrogance to pretend I didn't know how to do that as well, wouldn't it?

Allan

Allan Report 19 Jun 2021 22:31

You could always Google it

Sharron

Sharron Report 19 Jun 2021 22:18

I don't even know how to do that.

Some of us are able to admit to this.

I don't mind admitting that I had to Google that, Sharron :-D

Ann ..........

that was why I made the suggestion that it was a lot of men telling women what to do???

But Caroline they are not advocating just not drinking when pregnant, that advice is probably acceptable. they are saying don't drink when of child bearing age. I don't think many females are going to accept that.

Maggie, I was lucky, my doctor refused to give me anything for morning sickness saying I had to live with it, it will pass. I have always been thankful for that.

In theory yes they're right you shouldn't drink when you're expecting.....but as already noted nor should men if they want to do their part :-)

As Sylvia said I wonder if it was a man that decided only woman shouldn't drink!

Maybe they should just produce a few leaflets telling us what to do on any subject then we can just ignore them.

I have to admit to drinking stout (I don't lke Guinness) at home.
If me and OH went to the pub, I drank fruit juice and lemonade!

Having said that, the stout was hardly a danger to our daughter, compared to the Debendox I was given to combat morning sickness. :-(

After I had my first child in the Uk I was given a bottle of stout in hospital as was everyone in the ward.

I was surprised to find that everyone received a bottle of stout after having their babies in an Oz hospital too.

I have to say that I did not take mine in either hospital as I don’t like the taste.

You are probably right.

I suffered from ManDiagnosing today. Couldn't get a word in on my return from the hospital GRRR.
