For a pregnant woman to go to a bar, but not drink.

I would say....definitely tacky, tasteless and could be downright harmful to the health of her unborn child....what with the smoking and all that.
Plus she's gonna get some haters---some people are going to assume she's getting schnockered and will make some rude comments. Best to just..NOT GO!

I work at a bar and grill. One of our bartenders daughter was very pregnant and would come in with her husband to eat. No one seemed to mind at all. I live in a small town, so most people don't care one way or another. However if she was smoking or drinking she sure would get looks and probably talked about behind her back. If the bar is a non smoking bar like many in the country, I see no reason why she shouldn't go if she wants to...We serve some damn good food where I work, we have church folk, bikers, people with kids (adjoining dining room they go in).....all sorts of people come to where I work....but it IS still allowed to smoke in there. I don't think for the 30 or so minutes she is there, with the ventilation system, and no one is sitting right next to her smoking, that there would be any consequences. Hell, look at what cars put out and factories, in the big city you breathe way worse crap than the amount of second hand smoke she is around. And I am a mother, don't think its good to breathe it, but it isn't for a long time, and she is not engulfed in it.....sometimes she just gets food to go, has a coke and says hi to her dad. (She is in her mid 20's by the way)......that is just my opinion.....think people should mind their own business and worry about some of the "bad" things they do and wouldn't want talked about, ya' know!!!!!

No, why? Can you only go to a bar if you're going to get drunk? Maybe some bars are like that... I often don't drink, or take just one and then switch to non-alcoholics, myself. There are plenty of bars where people come to chat & hang out rather than to get drunk or high. If there's lots of smoke it may be harmful to her baby but many bars nowadays aren't too bad on the smoke either, some are even non-smoking completely.

Not at all. My friends I go to the bars a lot, and several of the group don't drink...one because she's on anti-depression medicine, one because her family has a history of alcoholism and doesn't want to go down that road, and one who wants to make sure there's aways a DD. A pregnant woman has every right to socialize with her friends in whatever setting they feel comfortable whether or not she drinks.

No not at all. I see nothing wrong with it at all. My best friend and I went to bars to see all kind of bands while she was pregnant. As for the smoke in the bars there are many bars that no longer allow smoking. So I'm sure a chick could find a smoke free place to chill.

i don't think tacky is the right word. i didn't go out when i was pregnant; however, i have friends who do and see nothing wrong with it.
if you enjoy yourself at the bar then go, but i find that being around drunk people while pregnant and sober is awful. i had no patience and had a million of other things i would rather be doing.
i don't know why, but the whole situation is a bit uncomfortable for me...i am probably just crazy. :) :)
take care,

It still seems kind of odd, but bars (in Canada) are all non-smoking now, so why not go? I don't think that you should be left out from a night of fun just because your pregnant. Plus, your automatically DD, so your friends don't have to worry about drinking and driving.

Why? Just because you're pregnant you can't go out with your friends? You have to be cloistered at home unless you're at Baby Gap? It's not tacky, in fact I think it's cool to see a woman not let pregnancy get in the way of her social life.

Well, I think so, but I got talked into going with my husband and his friends two weeks before I had my baby. I didn't drink, but I ended up having to drive 5 drunk people home and I was pissed! I had a really bad time and the smoke bothered me ALOT!
ps. I don't drink anyway and I really hate bars!

Although not pregnant at the moment, I go to bars all the time but never drink. I just keep my sister or DH or whoever company while they drink away.

I dont see why a pregnant woman cant go out and have fun without drinking and harming her baby even if it is a bar.
