Hi, I’ve recently found out I’m 24 week pregnant and it’s a major shock, now I’ve got my head round it I am really happy and looking forward to being a mum. But before I found out I was going out and drinking nearly every weekend and I feel awful, the guilt is really eating me up. The midwife told me the first trimester was the most important but I’ve also been told the baby wouldn’t be connected to my blood supply/placenta until 8-12 week. I’ve also been told drinking can cause brain damage, I’m over thinking everything now and scaring myself. Has anyone been through anything similar or know anyone that has? I couldn’t feel worse than what I do and I’m scared I’ve already caused damage.

Congratulations on your pregnancy!

You have to accept that what's done is done and focus on your health from this point forwards.

There are many stories out there of alcoholic mothers who go on to have healthy children, so try not to think too negatively.

You still have another 15 weeks to grow and nurture that baby, so give them the best that you can for this time
