no offense sorry if u offended
I seen a girl on my FB page who is due in Oct post a pic of her drinking. Ppl commented on it and basically said nothing but laughs and smiles like its cute.
I am a very very heavy drinker in fact the night I concieved I was wasted and I am also a chain smoker. I was suprised I was preg due to my life style but also blessed because I felt like God stopped me from self destructing. I have not had one drink with my baby boy and im due in 4 days..I also gave up smoking after I YouTube harm it causes the baby. Im no one to judge but if u cant stop drinkin or smokin for ur childs sake then ur *** shouldn't be havin kids period. Life starts in the womb. Excuse my spelling btw but im not focused on perfect wording. Thanx for reading

I completely agree. If you can't quit smoking or drinking for nine measly months you need to sort out your priorities. It's not just you that is taking in that alcohol or carcinogens anymore. It's incredibly selfish.
So happy to hear all you ladies stopped those things. I couldn't imagine drinking while pregnant knowing that there is even the slightest risk to my baby. If someone is that desperate please at least have a non alcoholic beer !! Or better yet nothing!!
Maybe it is ok, maybe it's not, but I've seen firsthand the horrible effects of fetal alcohol syndrome, and I could never take the chance of putting my baby through that. I was never a heavy drinker, but I had an extremely bad pill habit, and this pregnancy has truly saved my life. The withdrawal nearly killed me, but for my baby, anything was worth it, and I still beat myself up all the time for what i did when i didn't know yet. I couldn't live with the guilt if i had continued. To me, no matter what you're addicted to, it can and should automatically stop the moment you find out. Sure, things could turn out ok, but why in the world would you ever take the risk? There's plenty of time after the baby to have a drink with friends, and there's no reason to put someone innocent at risk so you can have fun.
Thank you loveyouforever11
See, Atleast you girls have morals, good blessed yous with little ones and you guys made a change. That's a women a can respect
Ariflowers im similar to u. No self control living like it was no tommorow. I thank God for giving me a gift to make me slow down because I swear I was living too fast.
Vixish26 my sis actually did coke while preg

I've had trouble with sickness this time around and one of my so called friends said to smoke weed it'll make me feel better ad she did whilst pregnant and I would rather be sick and nauseous than put my baby in danger
Omg I was a heavy drinker too since I was 15 no self control up until 22 drank so much my feet & hands would start getting swollen when I found out I was pregnant I stopped cold turkey it was hard but something I had to do I think GOD let me have a little miracle in my womb for a reason ... so if she's showing off she's drinking while pregnant shame on her that is so sad /: that not even a little miracle can change some of our bad habits
I have had ppl offer me drinks, weed, newports, I turned them down no matter how often some one said it won't hurt.
It seems like ppl put anything on social media these days smh

I have been told that having a glass of eine here and there during pregnancy is fine but it just isn't something that is worth it to me. There is nothing out there that says drinking could be beneficial while pregnant that I would put any stock in. And when you put yourself out there on social media in general you are risking being judged. Esp as a nurse I'm horrified when I see pregnant women smoking or drinking. I think in this day of knowledge, there's no excuse other than your own selfishness to continue with those behaviors.
And u using big words is not gonna change my opinion so with that being said u must be one who is offended lol
I agree with you it's not on. At the end of the day it's upto you what you do in your pregnancy but don't plaster it all over a social site because it makes you look bad
Geekmom or watever ur name is that is nothing but a excuse to drink. It has not been proven how much alcohol cosumption causes fetal alcohol syndrome so like others mentioned its better to be safe than sorry. U can be the careless mother who drinks "every once in a while" but I rather have my baby born/grow up fine knowing that I was as healthy as can be pregnant instead of him having a problem because I wanted a beer here and there.
And her belly was out, shirt up and all, with a glass of liqour not wine. And the caption was
"Its one of those nights"

Idc if my healthcare provider even allowed me drink a beer.its still a alcoholic beverage and there's no excuse for consuming it while pregnant. I would never jeopardize my child's life for my selfish needs.
There's no such thing as drinking responsibly while pregnant.
if you don't know the affect it could have for certain don't you think it's better safe than sorry I for one am disgusted seeing women smoke or talk about drinking while pregnant ! "It could be beneficial" well could be doesn't mean take a chance on my baby's life ... because I am for one very safe and care what goes in my baby's system I agree with you. Some people just need to close their legs if.they are not going to be 100 % thinking of their child.
Not one to judge huh? Doesn't seem to be the case considering all the things you said.
Now it's a little tough to get a good picture of the situation based on your description. I don't know from what you said whether the fb picture was of this person sipping a glass of wine at a dinner party or whether she was doing a kegstand in a bikini top with her big pregnant belly hanging out... and there are very many layers of subtlety in between.
During my first pregnancy my midwives told me flat out that a beer or a glass of wine on occasion was perfectly fine. That moderation was most definitely important during that period of time but that the occasional small amount of alcohol was not only not harmful but could actually be beneficial during the second and third trimesters. Now, I won't say whether or not I took that advice, because it doesn't matter and it's nobody's business. But it is important because sometimes you get different medical advice from different providers. Mine says something different from the majority of what you'll find while studying at the University of Google. But that doesn't mean they're wrong, it just means they might have access to some information you haven't seen yet.
I don't know whether the girl you are talking about was drinking responsibly and in moderation and in conjunction with prior conversations with her healthcare provider. Depending on the picture you saw, you probably don't know any of that either. Perhaps a little less judgment and a little more faith in humanity would be in order. Or maybe you could talk to her about it in private rather than sharing the story with a few thousand strangers, if you're really concerned about the health of her baby.

Was it definitely a beer bottle or something? Or a mixed drink that could have been virgin?
I couldn't agree with you more
