Ok, I have read several threads about mothers and their choices with alcohol while pregnant, but now its my turn to post. Early on in my pregnancy I read that women have chosen to have alcohol while pregnant. Since then so I have I. However, I am now concerned about it. Throughout the past few months a had a few days (not necessarily in a row) of having beer more than one but not several, wine, I have had two glasses in one night and then just recently I had a rum drink and then eggnog while on holiday.
I just read some stories about mothers who have had babies that unfortunately had negative effects of alcohol from pregnancy and I am concerned.
I really haven't had much never drunk but honestly have felt tipsy. The night I had felt it more I immediately ate some food which was filling and greasy. Perhaps to take away the effects of alcohol I was feeling.
Nevertheless, I am feeling nervous about my baby and pregnancy at this point. I also can feel the pressure and stress of the idea of making a strict "you have to not have any alcohol now" choice.. like making that statement in my head feels so constricting.. I don't want to feel like im in a box but also don't want to make any bad decisions that could effect my baby and me..
Please, advice, encouragement, guidance.. thank you.
