peep773 - I agree with mamashelley1 - lots of ppl drink before they knew they were pregnant and still have healthy children, that being said I would stay away from alcohol until you know something for sure. Take care!!

My appt is tomorrow!! I am super excited to know whats going on in there lol!! It's the down syndrome screen and I'll be aroundabout 11weeks 5days  according to my last ultrasound...I think I'm more 11w 6 days but I also had 27 day cycles so I was missing my period as most ppl are waiting for theres lol!!! Pray that all goes good for me and Baby E's healthy!!! I'll pray for you guys too!!

2 shots of irish cream, and your not even sure if your pregnant... you should be fine. now if you knew for sure i still think you would be fine due to the baby being and embryo still. There are alot of mothers out in this world that drink like a fish while their pregant and smoke, and do drugs. It is definatly bad for the baby, and to be honest for the persons body doing it but, i think youll be ok. just keep track of your ovulation and if you dont start your period on time wait 2 weeks then take a test. and once you find out your are pregnant Stop drinking so that you will have a healthy baby.

Oh blast!  I was almost finished with a question (of serious nature) and I pushed a button and deleted it.  I don't know what button it was though.

Let me start over:

First of all, hello to all!  I am new here and actually not even sure I am pregnant.  II took an ovulation test on May 11th and had sex with my husband just to get pregnant..  

Well tonight, we had a fight and I had 2 shots of Irish Cream.  I know in my heart that it was a bad decision and now I don't know what to do.  I guess what I am asking is what are the chances that even if I am pregnant I didn't just kill my baby and the baby will be born healthy?  I am so scared and beating myself up over this and I wish SO much I could go back in time and undo that..  I'm so scared I'll never be a mother because my husband and I have been trying for a baby for 8 months already and still haven't ovulated..  until this past May 11th..  And now it's like I'm slapping God in the face for giving me the gift of ovulation and the chance to have a baby..  Should I talk to my ob-gyn tomorrow?..  Is it too late?

im 7 weeks today and although i feel dizzy sick, dont want to eat anything except potatoes and my boobs are huge and painful...my tummy has gone flat again. i have been quite bloated for the past few weeks and kinda liked it as it made me feel preg even though i knew it wasnt the baby. i had some brown spotting- not enough to fill a linner and it lasted about 4 days then it went away and now its come backm again, its pretty much the same but a bit darker sometimes, its lasted 3 days so far and seems to have stoped again. when i saw my MW last thursday she said thats fine and normal but gave me the early pregnancy number just incase. im not too worried as i havnt had any blood although i did have cramos the first time i spotted but they havnt come back again. it seems like tones of women have had brown spotting and have had healthy babbies (many seem to have girls so who knows)
i just wish i had a bump now. i needed to get clothes for work so got some maternity stuff and as i was so bloated i could fit in them but now im back to my other clothes and my trousers are too big for me at the moment!!! :( i know im not eating much but i dont think ive lost weight. im a size 10 UK so not big anyway.
has anyone else had all this?
i dont live near my mom so im having to learn about my baby by reading things and teaching myself...which is quite depressing actually.

I'm about 4 weeks and about 3 days ago, I had some brown spotting, then pink, then red =( I've been having some mild cramping too...going to see the Doc today.  Is this a miscarriage? It just feels like I'm having a period.  Not really heavy or very much pain.  Can anyone tell me what a miscarriage is like?  My DH and I are preparing for the worst :(
