I don't think I'd feel embarrassed if the doctor was to talk to me about alcohol or smoking or anything. That's what I would hope that my doctor would talk to me about that, that's what I need for her to tell me otherwise I'm not going to know.

I would really want to know , you know, the facts and the figures and all the information possible about alcohol and just knowing that alcohol is, you just don't have it while you're pregnant... to save risk to your child.
