High-Risk Pregnancy
Scared and Nervous!
So...I havent had it easy when it comes to being pregnant. I am now approximately 4w2d. Well for the first 3 weeks I was drinking pretty heavily. Partically because I just turned 30 and everyone wanted to celebrate with and partially because I was getting depressed about not getting pregnant. I swear I thought I was getting AF so I didn't think twice when I went out (almost night) and drank A LOT. How much harm have I done?
I feel terribly that now that I finally am pregnant, I may have ruined it! Any advice would be great! I dont see the doctor until October 4th but he can't do a sonogram yet. I am so worried!

Re: Scared and Nervous!
First, calm down, you haven't ruined anything. They meaure the weeks starting from the first day of your last period, so two of those weeks you hadn't even ovulated yet, and the next week the little one was making its way to the uterus so he (or she) wasn't even sharing your blood. And there are many, many cases of women drinking heavily before they found out they were pregnant and everything was just fine. If it still worries you, bring it up with your doctor who will also reassure you that you will be fine. I would call the nurse on call and speak with her if you can't wait until your appointment. But don't be worried. : )
Congratulations!!!
Thank you all so much for the reassurance! I was really starting to feel like a horrible person! I have obviously not drank since I found out! I wasnt a heavy drinker before I couldn't get pregnant. I just let me emotions get the better of me.
Thank you all again!
