Pregnant Woman
Are new national guidelines confusing the issue?

Women were given more advice this week on how much alcohol they could safely drink when pregnant. The latest NICE guidelines advise women not to drink at all in the first three months of pregnancy and after that only to have one or two small glasses of wine a week. This is the third time in less than a year that women have been given different advice on pregnancy and alcohol. Jane finds out what 'real' women feel about the issue and what can be done to end the confusion.
