I have herd that Guinness is good for you when your pregnant because it helps with your iron levels if they are low. I don't know how true this is but I couldn't drink the stuff. I do know a friend who had a half pint of Guinness once a week through out her pregnancy and it didn't do her or her baby any harm. I would personally ask the midwife and see what she says.
Good luck xx

I've heard it's supposed to be a good source of iron. I would say drink no more than 1 pint over a week.

It is said to have copious quantities of iron, and I should think a little half pint now and again wouldn't hurt anyone!
