I ate an alcohol chocolate
Whilst I’m not a big drinker, I love chocolates with pure alcohol inside. For Xmas a friend who doesn’t know I’m pregnant got me some. I hadnt been drinking obviously since the pregnancy but also way before as we were TTC for a long time so I cut down 95% of it, and then went onto ivf so didn’t drink then either. I fell pregnant just in my first cycle so hadn’t drunk alcohol in a while but the chocolates were so tempting. My husband gave me some of his chocolate (which contained straight whiskey), he slurped quite a bit of the alcohol so I didn’t have much.
Now I’m beating myself over it 😑 as I’m only in the first trimester so I’m sad I shouldn’t have done it after such a struggle to get pregnant.
It’s so hard as whatever we do as pre mums we beat ourselves up - the fact that I’m eating mostly carbs due to aversions, this alcohol chocolate incident or that I had to take strong painkillers and antibiotics for 4 and 7 days respectively... I constantly doubt myself and think I’m harming the baby. I know it’s not the case but it constantly haunts me. Anyone on the same boat?
