In my first pregnancy I freaked out when I found out about quinine because Schweppes Bitter Lemon is a staple on our grocery list. It was quite late on in the pregnancy so was quite worried. I must have read the same internet sites!

For the record DS is fine.

I have since also heard about tonic water helping leg cramps and it being recommended by obstetricians to help alleviate this. So I have been enjoying the occasional bitter lemon with no guilty pangs this time around. No, I don't have leg cramps. I just like my bitter lemon!
