The Real Housewives of New York City: Was Bethenny Frankel Drinking While Pregnant?

At the end of the first episode of Season 3 of my favorite of the Bravo Real Housewives franchises, after a lot of good drama and stupid fighting, we saw previews of some of the good stuff from the rest of this year of the Real Housewives of New York City.

One of the preview scenes showed Bethenny checking one of those home pregnancy test things. It appeared to be positive.

No big deal, Bethenny's got herself a boyfriend, she thinks she's going to marry, so she gets pregnant out of the preferred, historically speaking, sequence. It's the modern way.

On Bravo's Real Housewives of New York City website the various Housewives and husbands have blogs. These blogs are almost as funny as the show.

In Bethenny's latest blog she reveals the following...

"I was pregnant the entire season, so it put everything in perspective."

Okay now, Bethenny was pregnant the entire season? How much alcohol did we watch pregnant Bethenny consume on that first episode? Bethenny was drinking to endure that bizarre meeting for drinks with deluded LuAnn.

Was she drinking, to steal her nerves, to get naked on a New York City roof top? Wasn't there some drinking going on when Bethenny and the boyfriend were in a restaurant in that pretentious The Hamptons zone?

Okay, maybe at the point Bethenny was knocking back the booze, she did not yet know she was knocked up. However, on her blog, Bethenny clearly says she was pregnant all season.

Now, I am no prude, but knowing what booze can do to an womb-bound baby, well, it's just a big No-No.

I'm thinking Bethenny has some explaining to do. So far, near as I can tell, via the comments on her blog, no one has called Bethenny out on the drinking while incubating a fetus problem.

Bethenny was on Watch What Happens Live after the first episode and made a joking comment about having to be sober through this whole season through all the drama. She probably didn't know she was pregnant at that point. Especially since it's now a few episodes in and she has yet to take the pregnancy test.
