Pregnant women asked to avoid alcohol: should it even be asked?
I find this news a little strange, women should not drink any alcohol in the first three months of their pregnancy, and this report comes from a government watchdog. The thing I do not understand is, I thought that we already knew that pregnant woman should not touch alcohol.

Many believe that drinking in the early stages of pregnancy will give you a higher chance of a miscarriage, however The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence has said that there is limited evidence to support this.

NICE have now issued a new guideline for pregnant woman who wish to drink, and that is to only drink two units once or twice a week.

The thing is should this even be asked, all women who are pregnant have a responsibility to the child that is growing inside them. And if they choose to drink alcohol, then would you say that they are irresponsible.

Oregon Man Pregnant
An Oregon man is pregnant according to The Advocate; they have said “we have verified the pregnancy with Mr. Beatie’s gynecologist”. The man (Mr. Beatie) is expecting a baby girl around July 3, 2008 and the catch is he used to be a woman but now is a transgender male. Legally Mr. Beatie has changed sex to a male, so that does mean this Oregon man is pregnant…how weird is that?

He married Nancy Beatie legally but because she cannot carry a baby, they decided Mr. Beatie would have the baby because when he changed sex the vagina was kept (the breasts were surgically removed).

He is a Transgender pregnant male, but what do you make of this and do you think keeping a vagina still classes you as a man?

Also see the story of Mr. Lee Mingwei who apparently is the first born male to give birth to a baby from his body.
