A six months pregnant Bay of Plenty woman has been charged with drink driving for allegedly being five times the legal limit.

Police say the 19-year-old Te Puke woman had a breath alcohol level of 750 micrograms of alcohol per litre of breath. The limit for anyone under the age of 20 is 150 micrograms.

The woman told officers she was driving her three companions home because she was the least drunk of the group.

She will appear in court next month.
