Thank goodness your daughter has a sensible doctor.

Your daughter's experience speaks exactly to my point about the fear mongering tactics being used against pregnant women. Rasing her blood pressure was not a smart move on the part of that nurse.

I was lucky in having a sensible doctor as well. she only mentioned smoking and drinking twice......the first time I saw her she was happy I stopped alcohol and caffeine consumption, and told me to cut back on smoking.

The next time she mentioned alcohol was when I was getting ready to attend my 25th HS reunion and she told me if my stomach could tolerate it I was more than welcome to have a glass or 2 of wine, preferably red. And I had never even mentioned alcohol, I only brought up the reunion because of the travel involved. I was about 8 months at that point.

The only other time she mentioned my smoking was the morning after my daughter was born, when she told me if I wanted to have a cigarette to call a nurse and have her take me out to the courtyard!
