So guilty about having a drink!

Hey. Im 4 and a half months pregnant and having a really hard time just now due to the relationship wiv the father. Been a really hard 4 months and it feels like its never going to end! Longest time of my life to be honest. Anyway, i was really bored yesterday cos i dont have many people and i decided to go to the pub. Before i got pregnant i drank a few times a week, maybe get totally drunk at the weekend and have a few beers during the week so its been really hard staying away from it but last night i had 3 glasses of white wine and now i just feel so guilty. By the time i was on my 2nd glass i felt quite tipsy cos i havnt drank in ages so i didnt finish my 3rd glass. Im so worried incase i have harmed my unborn baby. Has anyone else had a drink or 2 during pregnancy? I need reassured. xxx

The only thing I can say is it's done now and the only thing you can do is promise both you and the baby that you'll not do it again..Its only for approx 9 months and you're not doing it only for you..you wouldn't dream of giving the baby a drink when you have it in your arms..just remind yourself of that next time..and then get on here and vent your annoyance at your partner with us...also other sites are good too..ivillage.com is another one
Look after yourself

hi there! Dont stress too much. I had no idea i was pregnant until i found out at 22 weeks. Most disturbing thing was I had been written off a number of times during that period and was drinking fairly heavily on a regular basis. I am now 34 weeks and my doctors assure me from the tests I have had that everything is fine. Although drinking whilst pregnant isnt the best idea, your baby is probably fine despite slipping up this once. If you are really concerned speak to your doctor or midwife for that professional assurance. But its probably best not to take that unnecessary risk if you can avoid it. As for being stressed with things to do with the father I completely understand and if you ever need to talk feel free to message me. I am online fairly frequently and a chat is probably a better and cheaper alternative to drinking. Hope this puts your mind at ease and all goes well for you.
