Alcohol while conceiving

hi all, i also just found out that i was pregnant few days ago, and got excited and scared at the same time, specially after my bf rejecting being with me if i keep this baby, been even harder,but i'm trying my best to stay strong and do what i wanna do. I have a question for the girls here who got pregnant recently as well- Cas my pregnancy wasnt planned i didnt realy prepair my body for that and had couple of parties which were sort of around my ovulation time when i concived, and also a week after i had couple of drinkins as friends leaving party, I'm not a heavy drinker just a casual but i am really worried if drknking that time could affect my baby and it makes me think about it everyday.
Any comments be appreciated i'm just very worried [Frown]

I never drank while I was pregnant. Smoked either, but before I found out was a different story. I was a big party girl. I did many , many, things, but my kids are fine. Actually, the night I got pg. I had been drinking.

i had been grinking Jack and coke. She was conceived in a 1966 international pick up truck. (old farm truck) ................... so romantic ,I know. We laugh when we think about it............... Ya might be a redneck...if.......

I think you will be fine, but definatly don't take any chances now. I know you may be stressed, but a good drunk isn't worth harm it may do to your baby.

Hope things get better

Hi there...you'll be fine....just take care of yourself from now on,  They reccommend not drinking / smoking during pregnancy because those things can hurt the baby in large amounts...they don't know what is safe and what isn't...which is why they say don't do it at all.  There are so many unplanned pregnancies in this world and i'm sure some people took a drink or two during early pregnancy.  I had the same concerns as I am about 6 weeks pregnant and I did have a couple drinks before I found out.....my doctor told me not to worry about it.  Hope this helps.

I'm sure all is well, just take care of yourself now that u know u have someone extra on board :) If you haven't gotten prenatal vit... yet they would be a great start in taking care of yourself & baby, the DR will prescribe em at your prenatl vit... but in the mean time u can go to Walmart & find em :) Hope u have a good day. A great bk to get is   Your Preg. Week by Week, or it may be called   My pg wk by wk, I found it at Kmart, Walmart my also have it.
Someone got me the bk called    Supernatural Childbirth by Jackie Mize it's been my favorite bk, it really makes u feel more at ease w/ pg, childbirth & life:)  (& no it's not preachy about not having meds at delivery) LOL :) I had an epi & plan to w/ this baby on the way too.

when i first got on this site i asked this a similar question just i wasn't pg..

their have been may ladies who would be 3 weeks pg & go a casual party or even a club & not notice what is growing inside them....don't worry the baby will be fine it happens to alot of people...just do as all the other ladies said stop drinking from now since you found out your pg......

but i also notice that some girls here don't care & they drink even thou they're 20 weeks...some even smoke man i hate to see those B-t-hes...they make me sick...b/cuz they're slowly killing an innocent life....

lucy: girl you sound like a fun girl to be around...the sort of stories i heard from you....& plus you drink i could hang with you any day...((clink))...lol

godsgift: how's it going hon...how was the shopping???

An emu is the second largest bird in the world. the largest is an ostrich. We have ostrich farms around here. We go get the eggs for omelets.Their great! They don't run wild or anything. they are amazing creatures. they will flog you to death if you make them mad though.very mean and moody! Hope I have helped. lol, lol

South is always cheaper than most places thru out the US so here it's about $25.00 for an up do (hair curled & piled on top of head) I'm not sure about dread locks I've never had to do em. I know extensions take most of the day to do so it's close to $200-350 possibly more depending on if you go to the big cities here & have it done. Up do's r my favorite to do, I'd love to wk for a wedding chapel!!!! How do u do dreads yourself? I figured your arms would fall off in the process LOL

Maybe w/ a bit of luck you'll find one near your house, surely they escape sometimes like the emu's do. Once we were on the 4 wheeler & almost ran over an emu b/c it was lying down & flew up on it, we turned real fast & I was so terrified it was gonna chase us, especially since I was on the back of the 4wh. Just pic. an emu chasing u, I mean where r u gonna go LOL :) We've even seen em out at church too, can u imagine the parents herding the kids quickly to the cars :) it happened!
