I am 8 months pregnant due on the 13th of January. My baby is only 4lbs right now and I am really freaked out by this. Her brother weighed 8 and a half pounds when he was born. I am a recovering alcohalic and had one binge drinking episode while I was pregnant with him. I've had three this pregnancy and I am also I recovering drug addict, I had a couple of meth episodes early on before I knew I was pregnant. I have cut that all out of my life now but I am so worried that I have mentally retarded my baby!! I know that it is all my fault and I know that people will think that if I really cared I would have just quit, believe me I tried but I needed the right kind of help. I am in therepy and taking medication for my drinking and I just want to be the best mother I can be from this point on. I am terrified that becasue my baby is so small that she is going to be mentally damaged. Is there any chance she will be alrightt?
