Government and pregnant mothers

[Petal~flower]

Just heard on the news, that the government are going to pay out an allowance of around �100 to pregnant women of 7 months. To enable them to have a healthy diet for their unborn child.

So all pregnant women will spend this money on food?

And what right have they to tell pregnant women what to do?

Money could be spent better elsewhere. Anyone else agree?

probably spend the 100 quid on rizzlas and cheap cider

they should have given them vouchers, harder to trade

Sorry everyone, just noted someone had already posted similar question in news.

Should of paid more attention : - (

[cazzz1975]

thats okay, I am scared to go into news since Mr Ben told us not to post in there (women)

[sleepyj]

why did he say that cazz ?

[Petal~flower]

yeah cazzz he did.

He should keep out of R&D

[cazzz1975]

I cannot remember his exact reasons but it was certainly welcomed by other male members on here...It just degenerated into male rambling and whining..

it was at that point that I felt some ironing would be more interesting.

mr ben should only go in beauty .... ask what to wash hes hair with lol

The time when a good healthy diet is at its most vital is early gestation.
I feel that this 'assistance' would be better provided in the way of vouchers for such foods and given very early on in pregnancy.
�200 cash could be seen as another financial insentive by those who see children as a means to get more benefits

Don't tar us all with the same brush cazz1975, I'm a perfectly respectable mum whom doesn't drink or smoke.
I know where you're coming from but it didn't sound very fair.
