Annika pregnant?

How funny I didn't even think of that until you mentioned it!

Looking around online apparently 55-60% of European women drink while pregnant. Not heavily, but a glass of wine here or there. Considering Europeans drink wine with what- a good majority of their meals- I would think it's not technically a big deal.

While I wouldn't drink if I knew I were pregnant I think one glass of wine in what obviously was the woman's last trimester isn't going to hurt the baby.

I personally chose not to drink while pregnant, and there is significant research that heavy alcohol consumption during pregnancy is harmful to the developing fetus, but, as far as I've read, there is no conclusive research regarding drinking an occasional alcoholic beverage during pregnancy. I have actually known people in the U.S. who advocate drinking one glass of red wine a day during pregnancy, although this is obviously not the general consensus. I've also heard women tell they were frowned upon for having an alcoholic beverage whilst pregnant. I heard a story about a pregnant woman going out with friends who were all offered alcoholic beverages while she was offered a soft drink. The woman got upset, which I find quite understandable. I think that whether or not to have an alcoholic drink during pregnancy is the pregnant woman's decision and no one else's. There are many conflicting opinions about things that may be harmful to a developing fetus, and the pregnant woman must be the one to make decisions in this regard.

Recent studies have shown that you can drink while pregnant. It's not some wild accusation. You should check with your Doctor, because it is not uncommon. As long as you limtit yourself. I've heard a physcian say that at least 1 drink will not harm the child. Trust me, it's not uncommon, especially in Europe...

Honestly this is all bs. Before I knew I was pregnant I went out with friends and had some drinks and became drunk...2 days later my doc tells me I'm preggers and I started to cry thinking about how I got drunk and my doc tells me its ok because I didnt know just dont do it again. She then goes on to tell me that a glass of wine or a beer once in a while is fine like once a week. That really shocked me but she said what everyone on here is saying, that the cdc warns people against it period just to be on the safe side but but a glass of wine here and there is fine. I never did drink after finding out because the thought just scared me but even my mom told me back when she was younger women drank while pregnant all the time, not hard liquor but it was like no big deal. My whole point is that sometimes our government likes to tell us little white lies (for our own benefit of course lol).

That was the first thing I thought about when that scene came up. A bit offputting, yes.
But then I remembered being out to dinner with my sister, while she was pregnant. We had tapas - something that goes really well with wine - and she simply ordered non alcoholic wine. Not as good, certainly, but better than water I guess. :)
My point of course being that Annika could have had non alcoholic wine.
