A 妊娠している woman was 辞退するd a drink at a pub and then asked to leave by staff who said they were 保護するing her unborn child.

The 出来事/事件 at the Cricketer pub in Hove, East Sussex, has reignited the 審議 on drinking during pregnancy.

Advice from the 長，指導者 医療の Officer says that women trying to conceive or who are 妊娠している should 避ける drinking alcohol.

超過 alcohol 消費 can be the 原因（となる） of a 条件 known as Fetal Alcohol Syndrome which 原因（となる）s mental retardation and birth defects. But other 専門家s say an 時折の glass of ワイン will not 害（を与える） a child.

'I never felt so 選び出す／独身d out and humiliated in my life.

'I don't think what I did was doing any 害（を与える）. This is my second baby and I'm feeling much more relaxed about this pregnancy than I did with my first. But I'm still very careful.

'I understan d what the pub was thinking about but they didn't approach me to discuss it - they were just rude and ordered us out.

Pubs have the 権利 to 辞退する to serve 顧客s and do not need to give a 推論する／理由 for doing so.

An assistant manageress, who did not give her 指名する, 確認するd she had asked Mrs Williams to leave.

She 述べるd her as 'a ひどく 妊娠している lady who was drinking alcohol'.

Another staff member defended the 決定／判定勝ち（する）, 追加するing: 'The assistant manageress was only thinking of the 福利事業 of the mother and child.'

But a 広報担当者 for the Mitchells and Butler chain which owns the pub apologised and said an 調査 had been 開始する，打ち上げるd.

He said: 'We would like to apologise unreservedly to all of the guests 伴う／関わるd for any offence that may have been 原因（となる）d. While the team member may have believed she was 事実上の／代理 with her own good 意向s, she did not 扱う the 状況／情勢 in an appropriate manner.'

Since May 2007, the Health Service has advised women to 避ける alcohol 完全に. This is in line with the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand and フラン.

But in October 2008, a large-規模 熟考する／考慮する was published showing no link between having the 時折の drink during pregnancy and behavioural problems in the child. And GPs often advise women that one or two drinks a week will not be a problem.
