“No alcohol” warnings

Alcohol during pregnancy is sensitive issue and the views differ very much mostly because of were you live. For example the USA or continental Europe.

In Britain the government want to put warning labels on the bottles. Something that is quite controversial, but in some sense also is sensible knowing that alcohol can cause brain damage.

The plea for total abstinence follows growing fears over the rise among binge drinking among young women and concern that maternal drinking can cause possible brain damage in the womb.

What really bathers me though is that it is the government telling you what to do or not to do. As a pregnant woman or a woman trying to get pregnant I already know this. Alcohol is not good for you or the baby. Period. I get the feeling the government think all of us women are imbeciles not knowing what is good for us. It’s my life; my body and I have the right to decide what’s good for me. And I’m a lot smarter in respects of those things than the government.
