I quit drinking and smoking while pregnant, not very hard when u think about a helpless fetus, relying fully on the mother!

My mother drank 1-2 glasses of red wine while she was pregnant with me in the later stages of her pregnancy with me. Her doctor advised her to drink wine to help with false contractions and to relax her. This was in 1983. Now, I'm 32 years old, and I've had anxiety and avoidance problems since I was a teen. I have struggled a lot with anxiety and agoraphobia, and sometimes I wonder if any of this is related to my mother consuming alcohol while she was pregnant with me, albeit in the later stages of pregnancy. My father blames me for not being "normal."

I don't think once or twice does it I think it's more habitual use of alcohol, or if not habitual fewer heavy uses nearing poisoning by alcohol. I think though I'm not a doctor
