Ah, the age-old debate: to drink or not to drink during pregnancy? One man found himself in the middle of this controversial issue when his pregnant girlfriend ordered a bottle of Pinot Noir. Despite her doctor’s advice to avoid alcohol, she craved a glass of her favorite wine. But when her boyfriend got the delivery notification, he cancelled the order, citing her health and the baby’s wellbeing. This decision sparked a heated debate between the couple. Let’s dive into their story…

The Great Wine Debate: A Couple’s Journey Through Pregnancy and Pinot Noir
Caught in a whirlwind of love, pregnancy, and a bottle of Pinot Noir, this couple had to navigate the choppy waters of autonomy, responsibility, and medical advice. After the man cancelled his pregnant girlfriend’s wine order, they found themselves questioning who was in the right. Despite their differing views, they sought a second medical opinion and eventually found common ground, with both apologizing for their actions. Yet, the question lingers – was he a concerned father-to-be or an overbearing partner? Let’s see what the internet thinks of this wine-fueled conundrum…
GF wants several glasses of wine a week while pregnant?

“Several times a week is far too much, your boyfriend is right and responsible. If you can’t handle not drinking, don’t get pregnant, the damage it can cause to the baby is awful – you’re really willing to ruin another human being’s, your own child’s, life over a few bottles of wine?”

“Holy f**k, she acted like a child! NTA for cancelling.”

NTA: GF is TA and an idiotic one at that, wow!

“NTA. Your girlfriend is TA. If she thinks several glasses a week is drinking in moderation then I don’t wanna know what a normal amount is to her. Not only does she think she can ignore the advice of two doctors, she also wants to go against your wishes and isn’t being a very reassuring mother/partner to you, given the past you’ve had. Like she can give up wine for 9 months. Jesus. If there’s even the slightest chance something could go wrong with the baby and you can prevent it, why even take the chance?
Being a parent is basically at least 18 years of making some sacrifices and acting in the best interest of your child. If she can’t even make one simple compromise during her pregnancy idk what to say.”
