Pregnant women may have drinking habits recorded
A single drink – even before the mother knows she is pregnant – will be documented, even without her consent
What do you think?
Yes, I did occasionally throughout my 1st pregnancy. She has grown into a healthy intelligent woman We didn’t know better then. However, I didn’t do the same for my 2nd and 3rd. But to have it written on medical cards, no.

“Advice gets turned on it's head quite often as more findings become apparent. For instance, new mothers were instructed to place baby on its front in the cot when I became a first time mum, that was reversed some time ago.”
All the time! Advice given when my children were babies (40+ years ago) have been completely reversed. Sleeping in their own cot/co-sleeping, feeding every 4 hours/on demand, hospital delivery/home delivery and so on. Perhaps I should have listened to my own instincts then!
