One of the nice thing about living in Europe when I was pregnant was the ability to order a glass of wine and some stinky cheese at a restaurant and not have anybody bat an eye.
When I returned to New York a couple of months before my due date, it was a shock to the system. Forget wine, I didn’t dare eat cold cuts, unpasteurized cheese, or meat cooked anything less than well-done, in public, that is.
So it is with great pleasure that I share with you this story from the New York Times explaining that drinking–in moderation–while pregnant is really alright.
Now, if they could just release a study on why pregnant ladies should eat yummy, gooey cheese.
Can we ask?
It's important to us to keep the warm, joyfully Jewish community on Kveller accessible for all. Reader donations help us do just that. Can you spare a few to keep Kveller free? (We'll love you forever.)
