Mmmmm, make mine a wine

[Guest guest]

On the subject of post operative care, my mate's

just had a baby. And the first thing she asked for

(and got), when the sprog was settled etc, was a large

glass of red wine. <br><br>Poor Rebecca had spent the 7

and a half months with an unbearable red wine craving

(she didn't know she was pregnant at first).

<br><br>She had no other food cravings, but you had to

physically drag her past pubs and off licences (and this

will horrify all you puritanical yanks - she

occasionally succumbed. But then my mum succumbed to wine AND

a daily spliff when she was pregnant with the three

of us and we're all fabulous. Actually, she'd smoke

it pure, or eat it and she claims its the main

reason that all her labour's lasted less than half an

hour.)<br><br>So forget tapioca, a good glass of burgundy is what

you want when you get out of hospital. And a puppy...

or is that just me?
