[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP HERE looks like some people missed my update so hopefully that gets their attention. I found out I was pregnant at 3w6d and have drank no more than 5-6 times since then. I am in my second trimester. When I drank it was 7oz of wine MAX. Sometimes just 3 oz. One time it was a beer. DH recently started antidepressants. He knows he needs to be very careful about drinking now that he's taking them. Thanks for the concern though. I have other relaxation strategies, drinking was one of the not so healthy ones. [/quote]

OP you stated that you self-medicate with alcohol for anxiety and that you husband is on antidepressants...are you ready to be parents? I don't ask think to be mean or judgmental but it seems like things that you would want to both work on prior to conceiving or at least spend the 9 months trying to better but if you're continuing to drink as a relaxation strategy (your words) and your husband wants a drinking buddy even while on antidepressants (your words) then you really need to consider the life you are creating [b]for [/b]your child. Best of luck.[/quote]
This. Parenting is hard work, and environmental stress is severely damaging to early childhood development. Physician Gabor Mate has the research. He has some good talks on YouTube. Peace.[/quote]
