Pregnant and feeling guilty

On my first baby, it took over a year for us to conceive- taking my temp, using opks, tracking dates, and dtd almost non-stop. While doing this I was trying to eat healthy, cut down on alcohol and taking prenatals the entire time (before conception and throughout pregnancy).

Anyway, so here I am with a 14 month old, and suddenly realise I'm 5 weeks pregnant - it was literally the once that we 'weren't careful', but I didn't think much of it (stupidly) as it took so long the last time.

It's sooner than we probably would have planned, but feeling happy and very lucky- esp to not have to go through all that trying and disappointment again.

BUT... I'm feeling really guilty, because I've been drinking most weekends (even went to Hen Party), haven't taken a single prenatal (will buy them today), and have been extremely stressed in work and putting in crazy hours which can't be good.

I don't really know why I'm posting, but just would never forgive myself if something was wrong with the baby because of something I've done (or didn't do)

Try not to worry loads of women drink smoke and don't take care of thereselves in the first 5 weeks as they don't realise just look after yourself I drink lots as I was told I had a misscarrige but that wasn't the same and felt exactly same but midwife told me same xx

I got pregnant around Christmas so wasn't sober most of the month. My 1 year old is find.

Until the placenta is formed they don't live of you anyway so don't worry about it.
