Just curious, do any of you drink?

[minkymoo]

threads like this never end well, can people not agree to disagree without slagging off another persons choice- as this is what t is a choice i chose a 1/4 glass of champagne at my friends wedding just as some choose to abstain
wouldnt life be boring if we all thought and did the same

HEAR HEAR

PRO-CHOICE in all aspects of life!

why do people feel they have to justify their opinions? an opinion is just that, the thoughts of an individual, different countries have different views/legislature on health care and having one over the other doesn't make you a better or worse person, agree to disagree and accept that not everyone sees things the same way and you not agreeing with something doesn't make it a fact

It also makes me laugh on here when people say they're not judging, and then in the next sentence they judge. Have an opinion by all means but don't judge others and subtly hint at a possible lack of care for their unborn or their future parenting skills. We can't all be 'perfect'.

It's little wonder that women on here are scared to speak the truth or ask for help with something for fear of being labelled a bad mother.

My sentiments entirely when it comes to discussions like this, in particular the bolded

Its a debate of opinions. I never said it would change a persons mind.

Disagreeing with drinking alcohol in pregnancy isnt slagging anyone off.

Just as i dont feel those that disagree with me are slagging off my choice either.

We just dont agree thats all

well imo if ur prepared to give up the rest of ur life to care nd be there for ur child... givin up alcohol for 9 months... is the least u can do... jus to be on the safe side if nothin else.
but it is a personal choice... i know my mum drank with all of her children nd doesn't feel bad or guilty... she said it didn't do us any harm... my mother also had 3 miscarriages (at the time no-one would have thought to attribute alcohol to this).
so now... with the sheer mass of research against drinkin in pregnancy... i have made the personal choice to not drink so that IF anythin was to happen to my baby... i would be completely guilt free knowin i did everythin in my power to protect it.

You dedicate your life to raise your children NOT give it up!!! just an opinion!

whats the point into readin so much into my choice of words?
stop bein so bloody silly... i think i made the point with the rest of my post that i love nd dote on my child... i think ur bein ridiculous.
i also find it eye opening that some people feel the need to justify their actions so much... if people want to drink... FINE... but like i said... imo its very wrong.

this thread was always gonna go sour... like they all do... was only a matter of time!
hormones + opinions = very heated debates.

I agree, however, I can't help myself

I think people feel the need to justify because someone, somewhere has made them feel as though they must have a reason for doing or not doing what they do instead of just accepting that they do or do not.

That's what gets me so riled, not others opinions but the judging.

Goes for anything in life really, we all justify all the time whether we realise it or not. Choice in partner, choice of career, wearing lycra hotpants past the age of 30...

i'm bein judged for a choice of words on a meaningless post that someone decided to read too much into!!
bloody hell... i can't help myself gettin involved in debates either... but that woman's right p*ssed me off!

nd i don't think it matters what age u are with regards to lycra hotpants... its more about ur physique... but thats jus my humble opinion

Just accepting wouldnt be a debate tho then would it?

I accept that its a womans choice but i dont accept that its right iykwim

No one said that you had to justify, thats your choice if you feel the need to

 

[ShanandBoc]

P.s - I dont think i have ever worn lycra hot pants before 30 (im 29)

[gemabee]

well i'm 24 nd i do own lycra shorts... however... they are a size 8... i am no longer a size 8 nd i think they would look horrendous if i tried them on.

[ShanandBoc]

I found out I was pregnant 4 days before we left on honeymoon. I had a quick meet with my GP to ask about airport security machines etc, and he said I could "drink but not get drunk". I had a cocktail on honeymoon, but that's all. Good considering in the three hotels we stayed in nwe had a welcome bottle of champagne in each

After that I would have the occasional drink. I was craving lager for 2 months, and I was going crazy. my MW said that if it was a craving, I should have it, but not to take the piss. So occasionally (once a fortnight or something) I would treat myself to a pint of shandy (half pint lager, half pint lemonade), and it settled the craving

 

[gemabee]

i don't need lycra i need spanx... my mum depressed me the other day nd told me that i will never ever be a size 8 ever again.
i beg to differ mother... i'll be like a woman possessed tryin to lose weight... in fact i am gonna keep them shorts so i've got somethin to aim for... look good in them = i have officially 'made' it!
