Worried any info PLEASE!!!

[Nikkie04]

just wondering if anyone could give me any information at all... I have ALWAYS been an unhealthy eater, and in the last month, I have not really been eating much at all, and I mean like a meal every few days, and drinking diet rock stars like crazy, and for the past month or 2 i have been on adderall xr 30mg. I know this is unhealthy its just how i have been all my life.

Well recently i have been really experiancing preg symptoms, so yesterday i took a hpt and well it wasn't a  very dark line, but there was certainly a line! so no doubt about it i will be eating better and off the drinks and meds, but i am really scared this is going to affect my baby!! does anyone know any information on how and if this is going to hurt my baby??

I dont know about everyone else, but i found out that i was pregnant when i was almost 4 months pregnant. In that tiime i did every drug under the sun, and smoked weed throughout my pregnacy. I smoked ciggs, and drank diet coke.  I stopped the drugs as much as i could being an addict, and i now have a healthy 8 year old.  I thank God for it. I no longer do the hard drugs but i was young and stupid. It is all up to God, i believe because i went against all odds and came out on top

I agree with everyone here.  I went to Vegas right before I found out I was pregnant, and with all the partying I did, it's a wonder the baby shouldn't be named Tequila Marlboro! I drank, I smoked, I did all sorts of naughty things, but as soon as I found out, it all stopped.  As for the coke, I hear you, I was an AVID Diet Coke drinker and it was my daily form of caffeine, but instead of cutting it out altogether, I now drink caffeine free regular Coke on occasion.  My OB told me if I were to drink soda, drink the stuff with the regular sugar and not the stuff loaded with aspertame.  Everything I ingested before I found out I was pregnant made me wonder if I screwed up my baby, but so far, so good. Oh, I am 235 lbs and had been a smoker for 13 years (I stopped completely now that I am pregnant).  So don't feel too bad! :) Everything will be fine!

you could have been drinking, smokin, doin drugs, what ever and as long as you stop when you find out your pregnant, there is no need to worry at all , your baby wont be affected by that.  I have read everything on the subject, and had a healthy son when i was doing all the above when i found out.  Im also about to have another  baby  and i found out at eight weeks pregnant and I was doing all of that too, but so far everythings going well, just change your ways while your pregnant

Well I am definitely no Dr., However I will say this, I too have made some unhealthy choices with my eating, and on drugs and drinking everyday, but as soon as I found out I was pregnant, everything stopped, no drinking, no weed! and I couldnt eat like a pig beacause I personally felt full all the time, well saying that. I now have a very healthy 6 year old! oh yeah, did I mention I was  317lbs when I found out I was pregnant. Just do what you are doing, stop and continue to choose a healthy life style even after the bably.  Much luck to you!

NO, AS LONG AS YOU DON'T KEEP NOT EATING AND DRINKING ENERGY DRINKS.  I JUST HAD A BABY 5 MONTHS AGO AND I HAVE NEVER BEEN ONE TO EAT ALOT OF FRUIT AND VEGGIES AND I LOVE MY COKES.  WHILE I WAS PREGNANT I TRIED NOT TO EAT ALOT OF JUNK, AND I AM HIGHLY ADDICTED TO COKES SO I JUST DID MY BEST TO DRINK WATER WHEN I COULD.  BUT REMEMBER TO TAKE YOU PRENATAL VITAMIN EVERYDAY BECAUSE THAT PROVIDES THE NOURISHMENT THAT YOU AREN'T PROVIDING.  I WAS SIMILAR TO YOU AND I TOOK THE PRENATAL VITAMIN EVERYDAY AND I GAVE BIRTH TO A HEALTHY 7LB 9OZ BABY GIRL AND PROBABLY HAD THE EASIEST AND QUIKEST LABOR AND DELIVERY OF MOST 1ST TIME MOMS (HOUR AND A HALF TOTAL).   GOOD LUCK!!! YOU WILL BE FINE!!!
