Hi everyone. As much as I try to tell myself not to worry, I really cannot seem to help it. I am utterly freaking out.
I found out that I was pregnant on the morning of New Years Eve. The test said that I was 3+ weeks pregnant. I have worked it out that at this time I was most likely 4 weeks post conception so 6 weeks pregnant.
It was wholeheartedly unplanned and my doctors think may have been due to antibiotics I was administered on holiday - wasn't advised of any adverse effects on the pill.
I have no serious concerns about the first two weeks post conception - that is weeks 3-4 as it seems the baby has it's own little sack of nourishment. There wasn't a significant amount of alcohol consumed then anyway. However, between weeks 5 and 6 I had been doing some serious Christmas partying. On 20th December (end of week 5) was my work night out. On Christmas eve I had a very drunken night in my hometown pub. On Saturday 28th we had a family gathering - so drunk on this occasion that I was sick the next day. I would say that I had at least two bottles of wine on each occasion. On most of the days in between I probably had at least a glass or two of wine as well. I obviously stopped drinking as soon as I discovered on 31st.
The most torturous thing about this is, if I'd become pregnant at any other time of year, my consumption would be nowhere near this high.
I told my midwife about these three incidents. She was not reassuring. She just said that any damage is irreversible and there was nothing that could be done now.
I am terrified. Has anyone else been through similar torment?
