Pregnant Paltrow drinks a Guinness!

Britney Spears is officially off the hook! That baby lap driving incident is yesterday’s news compared to the latest HotMommaDrama…Moms everywhere are going to have a field day with this one! |
According to the NY Daily News
The Oscar-winning actress was visibly annoyed at the stares and pointing when she had dinner with hubby Chris Martin on Tuesday at hip lower East Side sushi bar Cube 63.But the stares turned to gapes when the pregnant actress downed a beer.
“People were looking and waving, and she just tried to melt further into the corner,” according to one witness, who said she ordered salad and what appeared to be sushi.
Diners in the 30-seat restaurant observed Martin exit the BYOB joint to pick up several bottles of the Irish stout Guinness at a nearby deli. And they were surprised when Paltrow, who is five months pregnant with the couple’s second child, drank one herself.
Paltrow is famous for her rigorous macrobiotic diet, although she altered it the last time she was pregnant, with her daughter, Apple. Some experts recommend a little Guinness for expecting mothers, because of the brew’s high iron content.
Her rep confirmed she drank the alcoholic beverage, but said she ate only cooked food, not sushi.

WHO CARES IF SHE DRANK A BEER BEING A RN AND PREGNANT MY DOCOTOR/HUSBAND HAS TOLD ME THAT IF I FEEL THE URGE THEN GUINESS IS THE BEST BEER FOR ME TO DRINK
I was in Europe a few months ago and I saw tons of normal looking pregnant women drinking beer. They weren’t getting out of control or anything, but they were having beer with their dinner.
hmph…I thought that it was okay for pregnant woman to drink a glass of wine every once in a while and I am sure that Paltrow would not put her baby in any harms way..Either way I think that it is bad sugject to bring up at all..People have different views on it..
Regardless of whether it is right or not, she had to know it would bring about a public outcry. If you are expecting, and feel the need to down a few (not a choice I have made) do it in the privacy of your own home.
It is fine to drink a LITTLE after the early stage of pregnancy - the major development of the baby is in the first 6 weeks and so if she is 5 months there is no reason not to have one drink………..if it was the first 3 or 4 weeks then there would be a reason to be alarmed
Nothing wrong with that. Maybe it would be an issue if she had 5 beers! Not just one pint.
I still think that Britney Spears is, by far, the more irresponsible mother.
who cares? it is fine to have a Guiness while pg.
to the poster who said she should do it in private…that would be admitting she is doing something wrong, which she wasn’t.
Yeah, I don’t see the big deal with having a beer. Besides, Guiness is high in iron. Most OB’s will tell a woman that it is fine to have a beer or a glass of wine occasionally when they are pregnant.
And Gwyneth should not have to hide away in her house, because a few alarmist people are going to get their knickers in a twist over her having a beer with dinner. It’s really none of their business. If her doctor says it’s ok, that’s all that matters…
Its not like she was downing several and she was eating with it and she probably doesn’t do it on a daily basis by any means, she is not a stupid woman and I feel quite positive that she would Never put her unborn baby in danger, I’m sure she asked her doctor if once in awhile was ok, she is no Britney Spears, she is a good mom, lets cut her a break.
I pretty much agree with every comment here. It isn’t like she was chugging a keg or anything. One drink every now and then won’t hurt Little Mortimer!
Women are actually encouraged to drink stout as it’s high in iron as someone else commented.
Well I think it is her choice. I mean I DO NOT agree, at all, with drinking while pregnant but it’s her loss! Really…if we all worried that much about other peoples pregnancies…well…we would go insane! I have a child who is very sick and I was an incredible pregnant mother - kept fit, ate well, never drank, smoked etc…and my child still turned out with a million health problems but I know of people who drank their faces off and did drugs their entire pregnancies and their children turned out perfect!
Instead of focusing on her HUGE mistake of having a beer…focus on how proud you are that you didn’t! (for those of you who had babies!)
