Before i knew i was pregnant, i drank heavily one night at i guess i was maybe 4 weeks pregnant. I've been feeling so bad about it.
I haven't touched alcohol since and i'm 29 weeks now. Everything was normalNormal saline flush at my last ultrasound. Did anyone else drink before they knew they were pregnant and do you have to drink fairly frequently for a baby to be affected by FAS. I'm worried that my one time drinking has damaged my son and i feel so guilty. :(
i agree... your baby won't be affected. most people drink before they find out they're pregnant... heck, that's how many people get pregnant :) even the pregnancy books tell you not to worry about alcohol you consumed before finding out you were pregnant. as long as you stop when you find out, your baby will be OK.
My sister in law got completely drunk at about 2 months before she knew she was pregnant! Her daughter will be 7 in a week and is fine! Not to mention, she's in 1st grade and performing at a 4th grade level! :) As long as you aren't bingeBinge eating drinking frequently....you and the littleLittle noses decongestant Little tummys one will be ok, I think! :)
This is good to hear....I had a severe margarita evening 2 weekends ago, found out on Thurs I was 4 weeks along, havent touched alcohol since and wont either. Sounds like everyone had been playing a little before we all found out.LOL
Before I found out, I went to a number of birthday parties, had a few glasses of wine on each and as turns out I was 3 weeks pregnant. DD turned out fine. You're ok :)
Thank you so much everyone for your comments and stories they have really helped and eased my mind, i'm way too paranoid. I haven't drank since that one time, but i'm definately starting to miss it. I have such a craving for a glass of red wine, only 11 weeks to go :) Thanks again.
My mom did the same thing when she was pregnant with me and felt guilty and worrisome ever since, but I am fine (at least I think!) I do pick on her from time to time when I am forgetfull or something, but I had straight A's in school and am very very healthy. So I wouldnt tell your child, you will hear about it the rest of your life:) lol... just kidding.
