Found out late

Hello all! I found out I was pregnant at 15 weeks and have been drinking wine here and there with three times getting drunk in the last three months. I'm terrified I hurt the baby. Can anyone relate or help calm my nerves?

I really wouldn't worry. You won't be the first to find out having been living your life as usual.
I'd be more concerned about you, presumably, not taking folic acid etc?
I'd just mention it to your midwives when you get seen and you'll be having your health scan in 5 weeks time too.
Congratulations 🎊

A friend had a similar situation and the doctor said very bluntly that if there had been damage it’s far more likely she would have miscarried.

Lots of women drink before they know they’re pregnant. Try not to worry.

I had a friend who didn’t find out she was pregnant until she was 8 months. We went on a girls holiday and drank really heavily...even just went on nights out before that several times but her child is fine thankfully! Try not to worry it must happen all the time.
