4 Weeks Pregnant and Worried!!!!!!

[Beth12]

Hi Ladies

This is my first post on here and looking for some help....

I've literally just found out I am 4 weeks pregnant with my second child - I am a bag of mixed emotions at the moment (mostly overjoyed) as this wasn't planned...yet (we were planning on starting to try about October time).

Anyway, I am really worried...as I mentioned above this pregnancy wasn't planned as yet and I haven't been taking folic acid, I've had quite a few heavy nights on the vino, have taken ibuprofen, been taking st. john's wort and had a course of antibitoics!!!! Am sooooo worried that I may have already harmed my baby. Does anyone out there know if I should be worried, should I go to the docs????

Hope someone can help....

There is no point worrying about things that have already been done - uselss advice, I know. That is exactly what my GP told me when I was pg with ds1. I had 2 massive nights out days before finding out I was pregnant as well as playing an all day hockey tournament and getting bashed about. I was terrified I'd done something to harm my baby, but he is a super-healthy 2 year old now.

So many people don't know they're pregnant and do 'bad' things up until they find out. As long as you are good from now on, you know you;re doing your best for your baby.

Go and speak to your GP or midwife for some reassurance.

Thanks Ladies!!! Such a mixed bag of emotions!! Really appreciate your words of reassurance!!
