OK so you can't enjoy a glass of champagne without getting arrested any more but, draconian drinking guidelines apart, has there ever been a better time to be pregnant? Check out these new maternity arrivals: above left, beautiful pleated pyjamas in cotton by upscale maternity brand Amoralia; above right, Anita's jaunty red and pink bikini with fold down briefs. Worth raising a glass to, we feel.
Trivialising the health advice given to pregnant women on solid scientific grounds is irresponsible.

Hey there, nobody is suggesting that our pregnant customers go out and get drunk. However, the latest government advice (to abstain from alcohol altogether when pregnant or trying to conceive) is not based on any new scientific evidence; it was issued to make the current advice "easier to understand". In other words, there's nothing new to contradict the previous guidelines - one or two units of alcohol not more than once or twice a week.
