Drinking while pregnant
posted 20th Dec '07
I didn't know I was pregnant until about 13 weeks... I drank probably 3-5 beers on about 5 different occasions while I was pregnant, but stopped immediately after I found out... I always worry myself something will be wrong because of this although I have no complications in my pregnancy, has anyone else drank quite a bit before they knew they were prego? & was the baby ok?!?

i found out when i was 5 weeks prego...and before then, each week i partied it up and hung out at the bars and friends houses...so i know wut it feels like to wonder wut if...but each appt i've had and each ultrasound they've done, has shown no problems or complications at all...and i'm almost 33 weeks now....if anything, just make sure u are up front with ur doc and let them know that u have been drinking a few times before u found out u was actually pregnant...they will at least keep a closer eye on u in case u do worry

i drank when i was 4 weeks pregnant (not knowing i was pregnant then of course) and i drank a fairly good amount. i drank the week before that but only a shot or two. i told the doctor and she didnt seem too worried about it. i would check with ur doctor though.

With my first (who by the way was healthy) I didn't know until I was almost two months and I was still in college---so you can only imagine. I got trashed like 3 or 4 times. You are probably fine since you stopped

I found out at about 7 weeks with this one, and I had had a few benders in that time. So far, so good, he seems perfectly healthy and every medical person I;ve talked to about it says it'll be ok. You can't help what you didn't know about. Since you stopped, I'm sure your baby will be healthy.

I drank before I knew I was pregnant, I'm about 9 weeks now so then I was about 4 or 5 and now all I worry about is my baby having FAS.
I drank everclear, it tore me up that night. I've only drank about 3 times, just that one time I was out of it. The other 2 times was just a few shots of tequila and a Mike's Hard Lemonade. Seein' this topic though has made me feel a lot better but I still worry because it will just be my luck.
Me and my boyfriend have tried so long for a baby. He's in the Army and they're talkin' about deployment so we both wanted a baby incase somethin' ever happened to him. We're getting married, it's just complicated. But we do live with each other and I know he'll be a great father, he's already a great uncle.

i found out at 7 weeks in january, and pretty much every weekend of december i drank and almost everyday i got high i was so freaked out and thought i was the worst mom ever but the doc told me she would fine and sure enough she was (i stopped EVERYTHING right after too). So I'm sure your baby will perfectly fine
