Drinking when I didn't know..

[doddy]

I'm 29 weeks pregnant on Tuesday and couldn't be happier I didn't realise I was pregnant till around the 16th week. Through out the time of not knowing I had a couple of nights out probably in the 5th and 7th week where I probably consumed around five drinks at a time both nights, I also had a cider and a wkd in the 14th week, I feel so bad that I could of hurt my baby and posting a question on yahoo doesn't really make you feel any better about it! I never had no symptoms through out that time and i never had regular periods anyway. I obviously haven't had any drink since I found out but i'm still so worried. Has anyone else drank in there pregnancy when they didn't know? Thank you

There is nothing you can do if you didnt know aboout it, dont beat yourself up.

Chances are your baby will be fine but until the baby is born no one can say 100%, i gather everything has been ok with the pregnancy, nothing mentioned at scans or anything?

The same happened with my mum when she was pregnant with me! She didn't find out until she was 20 weeks though, she drank and smoked (and worse) and i'm absolutely fine well kinda!! Lol

try not to worry to much, your scans will have told you if anything would be wrong x

Hey hun don't worry yourself. I'm sure your little one is perfectly fine. I don't imagine you were heavily drinking the whole time before you knew and a little alcohol should be fine. From what you explained, there are many of us out there that were drinking and I know myself when i was pregnant with my daughter I was drinking all the time. I was 16 when i got pregnant with my daughter and i partied hard which is probably why I ended up pregnant! LOL I didn't find out I was pregnant with her until the beginning of january so i had all those lovely holidays to drink and be merry. I was about 9 weeks already when I found out. So don't worry yourself too much about it everything should be perfectly fine. My little girl was perfect so keep positive. Another friend of mine didn't find out she was pregnant until she was 17 weeks and had been drinking a glass or two of wine almost everyday and she has five very healthy perfect children.
