[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You say you don't care, PP. But would you look twice if you saw a pregnant lady drinking wine in a bar or restaurant (or at the pool, like I did a few weeks ago)? [/quote]

Not the PP you are quoting, I don't think, but no, I would not look twice. At least not unless she was visibly drunk or it was clearly her third or fourth drink. Her choice. Nor do I look twice at the pregnant women I see drinking coffee (or what looks like coffee - it's hard to tell sometimes). Now if I saw a pregnant woman smoking or doing drugs, yes, I would be taken aback. But it would still be her call to make.

You know the pregnant women I stare at? The ones doing serious sports, like long runs or weight lifting. I am so impressed by these women, I can't help but stare. I am happy when I manage to haul my butt to the pool once a week to do laps -- and that doesn't even happen as often as it should. I feel like other than being too tired to do more than walk I am having a reasonably normal pregnancy, but I just cannot fathom how these women have the energy to do serious workouts in addition to putting in their all at work and whatever else they do. Kudos to them. They are the ones I notice, not some woman who may be enjoying a glass of wine.[/quote]
