We’ve all heard of “Housewives Behaving Badly,” but The Real Housewives of New York City’s Alex McCord is set to raise more than a few well-arched eyebrows with the revelation that she routinely drank alcohol will pregnant with her son Francois.

Paging Child Protective Services! I doubt we need to pull out the statistics on what can happen to babies in vitro who are exposed to alcoholic beverages, but in case you’re uninformed, Googling “Fetal Alcohol Syndrome” should give you an idea. And you thought Octomom was an irresponsible nitwit!

“Throughout my pregnancy, I gave into every craving I felt,” Alex writes in her new book, Little Kids Big City: Tales From A Real House In New York City, The New York Daily News’ Gatecrasher reported Monday. “When I wanted to have a drink, I did.” She even fesses up to downing champagne on her way to the hospital while in labor.

Earlier this season, it was rumored that Alex and her husband Simon would be dropped from the cast of the show’s current third season. The Real Housewives of NYC airs Thursdays on Bravo.
