37 Answers
I'm confused. I want to do what is right for my baby but don't know what I can eat or drink during pregnancy. I am young (19) before my pregnancy I was fairly slim (I was 9st and 5ft6) and I'm reasonably fit.Can I have the odd glass of wine? Is smoking completely banned when pregnant? I always thought iron was good in a pregnancy but now the government says iron supplements may be harmful! I can eat sushi or red meat! What flippin can I eat?

It's up to you on the smoking and drinking thing, although if I was expecting I'd want to give my baby the best possible start by taking no risks with these things although I know it can be difficult to give up smoking! As for what you can eat talk to your doctor/nurse/midwife, they should all be able to give you some relevant advice!
