Hello. I've read numerous threads on alcohol use during pregnancy however none of them seem to relate directly to me or be specific enough to ease my worries. I'm an alcoholic who just found out I'm 14 weeks pregnant. I'm highly involved in my recovery however I had two major relapses during my 10th and 12th week of pregnancy. These relapses lasted approximately 4 days each and included non stop alcohol use of wine and beer. My alcohol intake was anywhere from 2 bottles of wine to 2 six packs of 9% beer a day for 4 days each relapse. I am terrified and haven't talked to my dr about this issue. I've completely stopped drinking however I am concerned about the amount of alcohol I consumed over the time period given. I have a very high tolerance and as an alcoholic experiencing a relapse this was not pretty as it never is. Has anyone else known of or experienced this kind of alcohol use during their first trimester and any outcomes? I'm going to talk to my dr about it at my 20 week scan because I believe its important to let them know. I'm just looking for any feedback from others regarding this issue. Thank you.
