The Things people say

So last night was our second prenatal class. There are 6 couples in the class including us. They all seem like pretty nice people..  I am a very open minded person and even though some may not agree, I am definitely not quick to judge....  So we were discussing the obvious substances you want to stay away from pregnancy, alcohol, drugs, certain foods, cigarettes, etc etc.   This one lady brought up the idea of having a home birth, and having a glass of wine during labour. She said it is not like the child will have FASD, and it would help her relax, etc etc, you know the PUBLIC HEALTH NURSE totally discouraged her, and then she had the audacity to ask this Public Health Nurse if she thought smoking dope would be good to use as a pain reliever, relaxing agent while in labour.....  Ummm And what do you guess the Nurse said?  NO WAY!!!


Hey, I am open to ideas, and if she chooses this then so be it, it is her way, but I have no clue what would possess her to ask these questions to a PUBLIC HEALTH NURSE?!   I really think some should stop, think, filter, and then speak.....    Blows my mind.......
