Hi Mumsnet!

Kind of freaking out here, period was late but didn’t think too much of it as my cycles are 36-39 days by day 42 no period and I just had this feeling I was pregnant, boobs so sore, nausea, cramps etc. Did a test yesterday morning and yep there’s the cross!

This is not planned but I am married, financially secure it’s just not the right time - well is it ever?!

Anyway it is what it is as they say but as it wasn’t planned, I have been drinking a lot - well over the recommended NHS amount - maybe 2 large wines a night and weekends even worse (I have a very very stressful job)!!! I have not been looking after my health at all and I am so so so worried about what might happen or risks I could have posed to the baby and I just don’t know what to do. I am completely freaked out :( I feel so guilty.

Should I tell my GP, is there anything I can do now?! Or is the damage done.

I didn’t know I was pregnant over Christmas and drank a fair bit. When I told my midwife she literally didn’t even comment just ‘oh ok that’s fine’.

Please don’t worry! The worrying is worse than the booze!

You'll be fine with the drinking but just make sure it start taking folic acid ASAP.
