Am I the only one appalled that in episode 3 at the end the wife takes a beer and says, "it's okay I'm being European", and the show passes this off as her learning to be more "chill"? What kind of message are they trying to convey? Plus the general message of saying it's cool and admirable to follow your dreams by breaking the law and opening an illegal brewery.
shareIt's a TV show, and most doctors will allow you to drink a glass of wine or a beer occasionally while pregnant.
shareThe occasional beer or wine is not bad during pregnancy.
Let me guess you must be an American dogmatic prude.
Wurstero - what an ignorant comment on so many levels.
What does being an American dogmatic prude have to do with anything except show that you are an ignorant hateful bigot?
I know you aren't the brightest bulb, but surely you know how to use google. Drinking ANY amount of liquor while pregnant can be extremely harmful to your unborn baby.
The real danger zone is when you drink - not necessarily how much (just in terms of having an occasional beer or glass of wine).
You've clearly have zero training or have done any research on the real effects of drinking while pregnant. Nor have you spent one minute working with kids who have fetal alcohol spectrum disorders.
You are 100% wrong. And for the love of the well-being of your future child - I beg you to google it. Do some research. Talk to your doctor. Please don't casually drink when you are pregnant. Your child will be the one who pays the consequences for your stupidity.
The "no drinking while pregnant" rule really is an American cultural thing not backed up by medical evidence. And I am American.
shareUh, but the poster is right.
The "NEVER drink during pregnancy" credo is largely US based. Medically it's perfectly safe for a pregnant woman to consume a few isolated alcoholic beverages. It is NOT frowned upon in many nations the way it is here. We do have a very puritanical view on this topic.
Wow. What a load of bull. There has never been a single documented study to show that small amounts of alcohol are in any way harmful to a fetus. The only studies ever to conclusively find any evidence of risk involved women who drank 5 or more glasses of wine a night. That makes you an alcoholic and you are damaging your own body so of course there is a risk to the baby. Even the most conservative websites that suggest you should not drink at all will only say that "no amount of alcohol has been deemed safe" because it's easier to err on the side of caution and there is no definitive information on the exact threshold where it becomes a risk. That is a far cry from your utterly ignorant claim that "ANY amount of liquor while pregnant can be extremely harmful". Your statement is 100% false. When you drink has nothing to do with increasing the risks. The amount you drink in a sitting and how rapidly you consume it are the only physiologically relevant factors. This is due to the way your body metabolizes the alcohol content. Consuming multiple glasses of wine, or any equivalent alcoholic drink, in rapid succession increases the chances of alcohol passing to your baby because your body cannot process it fast enough to keep up.
It's pretty clear that the person with zero training on the subject here is you. Anyone who has taken high school anatomy could easily understand the biological processes involved. And anyone who has the reading comprehension of a 10 year old can find the information to refute your nonsense claims. You love your appeal to authority implying that you have training in treating infants with FAS but you clearly lack the understanding of the causes that would most certainly be gained from such a position.
This show isn't giving you life lessons, it's just a story. I think you need to take it easy...
share..to add something to the discussion: I just can speak for Germany- if one of your girlfriends isn't drinking alcohol (who normally drinks), you definitely suspect her to be pregnant. So I can't see, what should be European about drinking alcohol during your pregnancy..but maybe in some countries they have a different opinion
shareI'm okay with it,I mean it weird me out she was so far along but still it's a woman's choice to abort or to send the kid to foster care.
