news bot always makes me scratch my head. Of course we drink milk when preggers. We want the calcium for the growing baby bones. :p

Silly newsbot. :cool:

This research is based on having almost 40,000 nurses mothers fill out a form asking them how much milk they drank while pregnant.

I can't even remember what I had for lunch yesterday, so this type of "research" is pretty useless, in my opinion.

Just gives me ammo for when DD25 gets pregnant...she hates milk. But she's scared silly that she'll get MS. I finally talked her into taking calcium with Vit. D3 in it.

My mom did not drink milk ever! She had to milk cows as a child and refused to drink milk. She told me she only drank iced tea and Ginger Ale while pregnant with me and my brothers.... her iced tea has always been sweetened with saccharin. I have MS and my brothers do not. Mom has severe osteoporosis...:rolleyes:

Came back to add: I drank almost 1/2 gallon of milk a day during both of my pregnancies.
