Wracked with guilt over drinking alcohol

My partner and I stopped using contraception in October and adopted an 'if it happens, it happens' attitude to trying for a baby. This is the first time for both of us and I was honestly expecting it to be quite a long process as i've got friends TTC so hadn't really made any changes to my lifestyle yet. We were just easing in slowly lol.

Anyway, last month we were on holiday and it just so happened to be the week I was ovulating. I was eating and drinking as normal all week and we just enjoyed ourselves without thinking about anything.

Fast forward 2 weeks and I go on my works Christmas do last Saturday where i drink copious amounts of prosecco and gin.

2 days later I realise my AF is a day late (It's normally regular as clockwork), my OH persuaded me to do a test and we were gobsmacked to get a BFP (then 2 more the following day and another the day after that!)

It's 5 weeks today since the first day of my last period and I find myself now wracked with guilt about drinking alcohol last weekend. I wouldn't have touched a drop if I'd known I was pregnant, now I'm worried it'll lead to problems down the line!

Can anyone help put my mind at rest?

I wouldn't panic. I smoked and drank copious amounts of peach schnapps with orange juice immediately before I found out I was pregnant with DS. He's now thriving at Uni.
