What's the worst that can happen?

Question

I've been stressed to the point were I drink Alcohol and I KNOW it's horrible for my baby and myself... What's the worst that can happen to my baby? I'm super scared and need help...

Answer

I suggest you research fetal alcohol syndrome.

Answer

Fetal alcohol syndrome.. There's a lot of bad things that can happen.. Mental and physical issues aside, I had a patient at the hospital I worked at who was a fetal alcohol baby and he was the only 16 year old in the entire long term care section.. He had a colostomy.. Didn't understand basic things, couldn't talk well, couldn't move well.. He couldn't even get himself dressed.. You drinking, is not fair to your child. period.. You're not the one who is going to suffer.. Your poor baby is going to suffer. I hope to god you figure your shit out, NOW and that poor child gets saved.. Your stressed so you drink.. Just wait until you're looking at your 10 year old child knowing the damage that is done to them is your fault. How horrible.

Answer

I would stop drinking so you don't kill your baby

Answer

I worry for you because if you are stressed now and can't cope, how will you cope with an infant? You need to get help now so you don't harm your child now or in the future.

Answer

Research fetal alcohol syndrome and talk to your doctor asap. They should be able to pro vide you with some resources to get healthy. Maybe consider attending an AA meeting, that could be a good source of support for you.

Answer

I've been stressed to the point I wish I could have a glass of wine, but have not. I drink chamomile, take baths, take magnesium for stress, and they're all healthy ways to help u cope while no potential danger to baby, we all get stressed out but turning to alcohol is just a bad road to go down, ur gonna be stressed a lot thru pregnancy, u need to find anothe way to cope because that baby is trusting u with it's life, ur mummy it's ur job to keep baby safe n put them before yr own needs! Please call professional help anonymously if u can't face them in person

Answer

Fetal Alcohol Syndrome would be the least of your worries. Your child does not have the metabolism to break down alcohol and could easily die of alcohol poisoning. Not to mention, child protective services will be all over you and that baby after its born.

Answer

Get help as soon as you can, like today. The damage caused by Fetal Alcohol Syndrome is serious. Find something else to do instead of drinking to deal with your stress; even an entire container of Ben and Jerrys ice cream followed by a couple of boxes of cookies is better than drinking while pregnant.

Answer

How much are you drinking? A couple of units a week will be ok but if it's more than that you need to cut it out. What's stressing you out? Can it be solved?

Answer

I drank for like the first 2 months heavily with my second child, I didn't know I was pregnant, I was on the drop shot at the time and had zero periods...he is healthy and fine. But I wouldn't drink knowing your pregnant. Not smart. 
And I guess it would depend on how much your drinking..some doctors and baby books say a glass of wine is okay once in awhile...talk to someone.
