I was in denial and carried on my lifestyle but now I am worried about the baby

Hi ladies. Please, I ask for no judgement as I am tormenting myself enough. I am 35 years old and my periods were like clockwork. So when I was a day or 2 late, I had a feeling I was pregnant but I ignored the signs and carried on my life as normal as I had such huge events happening in my life. I went to a 5 day festival, had my own wedding and honeymoon in the last 8 weeks, all of which I drank alcohol and took recreational drugs. I guess you could say I was in denial, or ignoring it on purpose or burying my head in the sand as I didn't want my life to change during those events. I have just got back off honeymoon and I am in fact pregnant. But I have done one of those tests that tells you how many weeks along you are and it says I am now 13 weeks pregnant. I have spoken to my husband and even though children were never part of the plan, as we are in mid 30s and this may be our only chance, we have decided to go a head and are starting to get excited about it. But now I am worried sick that my actions over the last 8 weeks will have hurt the baby? I am going to arrange a scan asap but please, has anyone been in a similar situation? I am worried and feel so guilty.

I would say speak to a midwife. I was 7 weeks gone when I found out I was expecting and felt so sick with stress as I'd been on hen do and festival etc and been drinking so heavily but she reassured me. Not sure about drugs though.
Hope everything is OK

No judgement, but definitely get in touch with your GP or Midwife unit asap so everything can be checked.

Also curious about tests that tell you that you're 13 weeks pregnant??? 😮

Hi you’ve posted twice on this on your other post I responded to say definitely be open with your midwife in regards to this so they can be aware
and are you taking folic acid now?

Can I ask what test it was that you took? have never heard of one that would be able to tell you you are 13 weeks.

I think she means 1-2 weeks on the digital
One

There are tests that accurately date you? Are you sure?

There isn’t a placenta until six weeks so anything before that is fine

so I was told anyway 🤷‍♀️

Where can you get tests that tell you you're 13 weeks? This doesn't add up.

There's no such thing as a test that tells you you are 13 weeks pregnant.
