2ww and alcohol, feeling guilty!
What do ppl think about this? its the 2ww so there is a chance i could be pg right now, but had had a lot of events in the last week (hub's bday and hen do), so actually have ended up having a skinful in 3 nights out of 7...... not good. feeling guilty coz if turns out i'm preg then will have exposed baby to all that alcohol.
Part of me feels like life has to carry on, and sometimes can take quite a while to concieve so not drinking would mean not drinking for the last 2weeks of every month, which would be difficult considering the pressure is on and everytime i order a soft drink, friends pounce and accuse me of being pregnant!
the other part of me thinks i should know better, after mc in june, i should be careful, although didn't drink at all that time!!
its confusing really, part of me hopes i'm not preg this month due to excess alcohol and any potential damage!!
What do ppl think??
I would be interested to know, even if you think I should know better, coz will try harder next month

Don't beat yourself up hun - you've done nothing wrong.
Good luck. x
I went to a bbq last friday and said i wasnt going to drink, i ended up really quite drunk. But i just thought well if it happens it happens, so i just went for it.
I was due AF this friday just gone and was late, done a test yday and it was a BFP but i dont feel guilty for drinking last week,
Havent drank anything at all this weekend, just soda water and juice.
It will be fine, just drink lots of good things now lol.

I think the best thing to keep in mind is all those women who get pregnant by accident and don't find out for ages, long after the 2ww - they have exposed their babies to all kinds of no nos and go on to have perfectly healthy babies with no problems whatsoever.
So dont feel guilty, and as the others have said you cant put your life on hold 'just in case' good luck for your bFP xx
