Pregnant but been drinking alchol until I found out

[Lorrymac]

My husband posted earlier about our recent news (Dean19831983). I seem to be only about 5 weeks pregnant. however, I'm worried because in the last few weeks I've had a few nights on the wine. And I'm talking at least a bottle. I've had dinner parties and things and drank more than usual - typically only the last week or so. However, i'm worried because i would have been 2-3 weeks pregnant as I was doing so. Could i have caused serious damage??

If you think about it, most women have no idea theyre are pregnant til around or after this time. I was actually nearly 4 months when I had my pregnancy confirm so spent the first 3 months drinking and smoking!!
As soon as I found out, I gave up both which is what I suggest you do.

Dont worry about what have had, just look after yourself and everything should be just fine.

I agree, alot of women dont find out till later then 5 weeks...if you have any questions im sure ur GP or midwife would be happy to help!! Im now 25 weeks pregnant and belive me you go off alcohol lol Good luck with everything x

Hey honey you cant beat yourself up about this. If you did not know you were pregnant you cannot be expected to put life on hold. The important thing is you know now and will care for yourself and growing bambino as well as you can. Most people have no clue that early as you did not and your few bottles of wine will ne small fry compared to some people.

no there is no real proof alcohol damages baby's health anyway. And my mate got trashed at her engagement party not knowing she was preggers

i read about one woman who didnt know she was pregnant and a week before she had the baby she was bungey jumping. If everyone was unaware of being pregnant we would behave as we normally do, eating what were not supposed to haveing a drink etc. as everyone else has said I wouldn't worry I was the same and had drunk before ai found out.

Throughout my pregnancy ,I had one glass of wine a week.. on a Saturday night... and one cigarette...(12 yrs ago)

My daughter was 10 lb 10oz's!!!!she is healthy happy and ok, as are her 2 little sisters...

I stopped smoking years ago...

Do not put pressure on yourself... just enjoy the moment.. ( I do not advise smoking tho....Bad!!!))
