WEISZ LASHES OUT AT PREGNANCY-ALCOHOL CRITICS
LATEST: BRITISH actress RACHEL WEISZ has hit back at critics who slammed her for saying that it was OK to drink alcohol while pregnant. The Oscar-winner gave birth to her first child with director DARREN ARONOFSKY earlier this year (06).
Although she didn’t reveal if she herself drank while she was expecting her son HENRY CHANCE, she said European women regularly drink when they are expecting. Weisz’s representative confirms that her client made the comments saying, "She was speaking only about herself and what her doctor said was okay for her.
"She wasn’t speaking as an expert. She believes everyone should consult their own physician to see what is right for them." The star has been criticised by medical experts who described her comments as "ill-informed" and "dangerous." In the US and Canada, complete abstinence from drinking is advised for expectant mothers due to the risk of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. However, UK guidelines allow pregnant women one or two small glasses of wine or single measures of a spirit once or twice a week.
