A new study published in the Medical Journal of Australia reported that 80% of Australian women drink during pregnancy, despite medical warnings. In America, we may be more puritanical, but lately, women have been getting mixed messages. A little alcohol is good for you. Any alcohol is dangerous for the developing fetus. And on and on.
So we’re wondering: did you drink during your pregnancy? Take our poll and let us know.

I’m a beer lover and craved it at some points in my last two pregnancies. I would order a Clausthauler or O’Doul’s at dinner proving to me that I LOVE that beer flavor!
I tended to just have a sip or two of my husband’s wine or beer. OK, maybe four or five sips…
Amazingly I was a “sipper” and non alcoholic beer drinker during my three pregnancies. I kept visualizing what alcohol would do to my developing child and its brain and body. Ironically I am now battling alcohol addiction and must keep visualizing what alcohol would do to my brain and body!
