alcohol before i knew..

This might be a stupid question but...

I know i had exactly two margaritas before i found out i was pregnant. I'm not much of a drinker so i know it was just those two drinks... Could that have harmed the baby?

your baby  is fine. the way things develop your baby doesn't  actually  share blood with you completely  until about 8 or 9 weeks before then its getting  all its nourishment  from the yolk sac. its natures way to protect  babies  because most women dont tend to  find out until about week 6 or 7.

I got married and also really drunk that day... and about a week later i found out i was 5wks pregnant.  Haven't had a drink since. I think you are alright. And so is the baby. A lot of women go through this, drinking and smoking before they find out their pregnant.  As long as you stopped and don't continue doing that your baby most likely won't be effected by that.

No. I had wine before I found out and now I am 17 weeks and everything is going great! It should be fine. I wouldn't worry about it.
