Me too

Hi

Just found your post through my daily Google search of alcohol in pregnancy. I'm currently 28 weeks pregnant and also still drinking. I only drank once a week (around 2 drinks) in my first trimester but have been worse in second, one or two drinks most days. I've managed to resist bingeing but I havent been able to resist that one I need to ease my anxiety issues. I am in AA but haven't found it helpful yet, keeping at it though. I am also having private alcohol counselling which is how I managed to cut down from more like 2 bottles of wine a day before I was pregnant to one or two glasses a week in my 1st trimester but it is creeping up again just want you to know that you are not alone and it is so hard. Addiction is an illness and we can't just "turn it off" when we discover we are pregnant. As a group we (alcoholics in pregnancy) are very misunderstood sadly.

Take care and feel free to contact me if you want x
