Drinking

I did not find out I was pregnant until 9 weeks and am worried because I drank a couple of times. Has this happened to anyone and are their babies ok?

I know a few people that this has happened to and no symptoms were ever apparent in their children. In fact they were in perfect health when born. They had the same fear and the doc told them that although only one time drinking can cause lasting effects in early pregnancy it is not as common as if the person drank consistently while pregnant. I wouldnt worry unless an u/s gives you reason to and just think positive.

I was 12 wks when I found out I was pregnant with my daughter.(didn't think we could have children)   I had had a couple drinks a few times before finding out  I was pregnant.  My daughter was/is healthy.
