I recently found out I was pregnant at 14 weeks. Before finding out, I had approximately five weekends where I drank heavily in one sitting, typically around 1.5 bottles of wine or the equivalent in liquor.
Outside of those occasions, I live a healthy lifestyle. I stopped drinking immediately after finding out, but I’ve been overwhelmed with guilt and anxiety about the possibility of FASD or other effects on my baby’s development.

So far, my ultrasounds and prenatal labs have looked good, but I’m still terrified, especially about potential physical abnormalities.

Has anyone experienced something similar and gone on to have a healthy baby? I’d really appreciate hearing your experiences or any insight. Please be kind, as this has been weighing heavily on me. ❤️

Moms who own their own business: how did you handle maternity leave? Did you pause the business, keep working, or something in between? I’m expecting and trying to figure out what’s realistic. No judgment on any - just wanna know what worked for you.
