A pregnant 19-year-old who goes out drinking five nights a week

A pregnant 19-year-old who goes out drinking five nights a week says she pretends she has morning sickness when she is so hungover she is sick.
Holly Piggott, who drinks up to 32 units every week – the recommended number of units for women who aren’t pregnant is 14 – says she is worried her friends will think she’s ‘boring’ if she stops going out.
She still goes clubbing every Saturday and Sunday, and goes to the pub three times a week, but says she will start drinking at home instead when she starts having to wear maternity clothes.
Five-months pregnant binge-drinker: Holly Piggott, 19, is worried her friends will think she is ‘boring’ if she stops going out
The five-month-pregnant mum-to-be told Closer: ‘I’m not an idiot, I know I might be doing my baby harm.’
But to defend herself, the Waltham Abbey, Essex, resident says: ‘I’m young and I don’t feel ready to stop my life.
‘I’m trying to get the most out of it while I can. When I don’t fit into my size 12 dresses, I’ll stop.’

    Spot on BO 🙂
    i’m too juggling a little one and haven’t been on in ages ……….i work at a special school and see first hand FAS……..jeez i love a red wine as much as the next girl but it’s not hard to give up for the sake of your baby, these people make me really really mad !!

    Gosh I haven’t been on the forums for ages. Have been juggling little ones and other stuff and wish I had more hours in the day to catch up. I think it’s selfish to live such a lifestyle when pregnant. You can still live a life whilst pregnant but smoking and drinking are not on. If you have a habit consider it a good time to stop if not for yourself then for your child. Babies may appear to be normal when they are born but their development can be effected. I am sorry to hear of your loss GS. I totally agree with you that conceiving a child is a precious gift and one you take care of like fragile cargo and look after yourself.

    Well said Meedee!!

  • 12 yrs, 6 mths ago

    Of course I agree with you all. I’m not actually a monster. I just don’t think it’s up to us to sit here and judge other people’s choices.

    I understand what you are saying BUT this is a forum where people can discuss many differant things. Its a discussion and so we give our personal views.
    you saying that you dont think its right that we sit and judge other peoples choices is a little two faced when you think about it because your entire protest is because you are judging the BH forum members because we have stated how we feel over what this preganat girl has done. So its not ok for us to judge her but its ok for you to come in and judge those that have commented???

    I think its good for people to share their opinions and thoughts becasue sometimes by reading what someone else has to say it can give us more information on a topic and help us to form informed choices, etc

    ‘I’m not an idiot, I know I might be doing my baby harm.’ she says.

    She IS an idiot, BECAUSE she knows the harm being done. If she was ignorant of the effects, she would be less of an idiot.

    Unfortunately, when we’re young, we do a lotta stupid things, your truly included. It often takes tragedy to make us realise our mistakes.

    But the question I want to ask is: Where are her parents??

    This girl does not deserve to have a baby! When I was pregnant with my daughter, I wouldn’t even touch a drop of alcohol. I got offered a sip of wine and refused. You are pregnant, you should be thinking what’s best for your baby and not give a damn what your ‘friends’ think. If friends think you have become ‘boring’ because you are pregnant and don’t go out – they are not your real friends! I am disgusted at this girl’s attitude. There are people out there who are trying so hard to have children and can’t, and this girl doesn’t even care about her unborn child.

    Where does it end? I have seen plenty of bad mums, do we take all their kids off them? It’s impossible. Maybe she is just after attention and making it all up? Sometimes it’s hard to judge anymore..

    P75 once again you have stepped up and said what many of us were probably thinking, you go girl 🙂

    congrats Shull how exciting.
    as for this story, well as far as i’m concerned anyone willing to behave in such a selfish, idiotic fashion and make such downright stupid comments (as the girl in the story apparently has) deserves to be judged, she opened the can of worms by doing the story too bad for her. I think the child should be taken from her immediately until she can prove she is willing to be a mother and a parent.

    Totally agree!!

    Thanks for the congrats girls! Im 11 weeks atm not long until I reach my 2nd trimester :D.
