I want to start by saying if you are reading this because you are thinking of drinking whilst pregnant do not!!
I want to know have any of you drank while pregnant? I know a few women in my AA have but I am way way way too ashamed to talk to any of them and I could never bring it up.
I am 26 week pregnant. All going perfect, scans etc. I have (had) been sober for over a year. But I had a major blip over the weekend. I won't go into why, because there really isn't any excuse. I let myself walk right into a huge trigger point.
I drank approx 10 units both night at the weekend, so 20 in total. Then slapped myself across the face and said you have a baby in you and stopped!! Baby is still kicking away but gently which is normal for me. I know my gran and her generation all drank and had from what I can tell healthy babies. But I fell down rabbit hole of FAS last night.
I am freaking out. As I said from women in AA I know some of them drank the whole way though (but obviously they never recommended I do the same!) and are very grateful they have perfect children. Do any of you have any stories to re-assure me? I am also thinking should I go into maternity and ask for a scan/ bloods? Would I be wasting their time?
Yes I know I am an idiot.
