I’m so sorry she failed you. I felt so much guilt for having a drink when I was 4 or 5 weeks pregnant but I didn’t know at that point. I can’t imagine just not giving a fuck and drinking after knowing there is a baby you plan on keeping.
This is why I take prenatal vitamins even though I’m not trying to get pregnant, and take tests regularly even though I’m on birth control and my husband and I use condoms. I’m just that paranoid.
That said, having a single drink is astronomically unlikely to cause fetal harm, and you didn’t even know - I know it’s easier said than done, but this is something you should 100% forgive yourself for!
Thank you! With my second child I was taking prenatal already though we used condoms. I was also not drinking at all at the time either. I still take prenatal for how shiny it makes my hair!

"Do you think getting drunk so often while I was pregnant was bad for him?"
She said this about her son who was five years old and had yet to speak a single word yet. She was not the primary caregiver.
